The curves of this chair are incredibly lovely.

“the tokyo pop armchair, constructed from polyethylene, was designed by tokujin yoshioka for driade and is part of yoshioka’s most famous series. his creations, easy to understand at first sight, hide cross-meanings and imply a deep mental involvement while translating the original poetic intuition into a concrete ready to use piece. the armchair is available in orange, light orange, green-grey, or white sand… suitable for indoor or outdoor use.”

Something like this would certainly provide some stimulation whilst drinking your daily intake of H2O.

“The fantastic array of textures comes from printing them with random, everyday objects such as tape, thread, rubber and an orange net.”

Set of six.

Look at this! I love it when someone rethinks a commonplace item and turns it into something worth a conversation.

“designed by josh owen, this aluminum jigger has different measuring pours on each side. according to the designer: ‘the design of the Aluminum Cube Jigger evolved from an experiment to compress the six most common liquid measures used to mix alcoholic drinks, into the smallest possible dispenser. the form was inspired by traditional box-shaped, Japanese sake cups, from which sake is sipped from the corners.'”

available late summer. now accepting advance orders.

Amazing desk lamp at a really reasonable price. Shade is handmade smooth aluminum.

Originally designed in 1960 to distribute the weight of the chair over the length of the chair to prevent tatami mat damage, these chairs would add a little nice simplicity to a quiet sitting room.

Most of us could probably use a good look at this map- or at least post it up somewhere prominent to remind ourselves that there are many other places in the world. Not trying to be philosophical here, just suggesting some perspective.

“This map doesn’t just look good, it also serves a useful purpose. It is an Equal Area Projection, meaning that all countries are in correct proportion to one another in terms of size. This is rare in global mapping: maps generally illustrate their “mother” country as disproportionately large. Available in two versions. Version 1: yellow to red to purple and Version 2: (limited edition) green to salmon to brown.”

This cool candle holder has multiple arrangement options (stacked or individual) and reminds me of those cool old drawings of ‘architecture of the future’.

“..Elegant dark Wenge wood and cool and sleek aluminum make for a classy and elegant presentation of this new candle holder and the fact that it extends into all three axis leaves you lots of room for experimentation… Get a couple of them and start arranging them in different ways: arrange them back to back, or cascading in size, or turn them into a modernistic setting by stacking them…”

I think this is one of those things that you don’t fully appreciate until you actually own it. It would certainly organize entryways and decrease the chance of tripping over stray shoes. We’ve posted this before a while ago; now it’s available in the smaller size at a slightly more affordable price.

“The Horizontal Shoe Rack (2004) is a wall-mounted solution for organizing shoes. The simple design gives footwear the appearance of floating in air, and by taking shoes off the floor it simplifies the process of sweeping or vacuuming underneath.”

Brushed stainless steel.

I’ve got to say that I love these in the Apple store, and I like this version too. The Rondo Pouf is a nice sturdy ottoman perfect for seating and they’re really quiet comfortable.

You too can look like a crazy genius.

“Noisy Furniture is a modular furniture system. Each element attaches to the next via a Dual Lock re-closable fastener. This allows one to create endless constructions ranging from a straight and sober aesthetic to something wild and unexpected.”

I’m glad that the mass-market retailers are finally doing eco-friendly products.

“A graphic lattice motif is jacquard woven onto smooth 250-thread-count, organic cotton sateen. Machine wash. Duvet cover, shell closure. Standard and euro shams, envelope closure. Imported.

Our soft, earth-friendly cotton is certified organic, luxuriously smooth, silky and durable. It is responsibly grown without herbicides, pesticides and all dyes are earth friendly. This makes our organic cotton bedding better for you-and better for the planet.”

“This padded double bed has a unique design. The headboard continues the entire length of the bed to the footboard and folds back on itself to trace a highly original form resembling a paperclip. The headboard can adopt different inclinations. The bed can take all kinds of mattresses, with thicknesses varying from 6.5 cm to 17.5 cm, thanks to the adjustable support system. The fully removable covers can be chosen from a wide range of fabrics or leather. The proposal is completed with a side table, a lacquered structure.”

Now, let me just say I know this is terribly expensive, but it’s also terribly cool, and I’m hoping that there will soon be a more affordable version (I’m almost sure of it because technology is just that way) for us all to have. It’s a mirror that accepts SMS messages from a phone! I suppose this is a little more of what we would expect of the 21st century, given that we have high expectations from a childhood cartoon.

“The +336+, designed by Robert Stadler (of the French design group Radi Designers), is a mirror able to receive SMS messages sent from a mobile phone. The messages appear as luminous text, running on the mirrors’ surface when one gets close to the mirror.”

Limited edition of 20.

This is nice if you’re someone who likes to hang your coat, because then you don’t get that little weird bump on the back of your coats from hanging on a traditional wall hook.

“By taking the traditional aesthetic and functionality of an everyday coat hanger this fun and practical product is created. A wall mounted coat hook appropriate for hanging a host of garments. Manufactured out of steel and finished in high gloss black or white.”

Maxim Velcovsky turns a familiar symbol of pollution into an ironic comment on industrialism with his porcelain Factory vase. Instead of harmful exhausts, clean, delicate flowers emerge from out of the smokestack. A dramatic reminder of global warming in an engaging and eye-catching form!
