L’Atelier du Vin Vin Jeune Wine Decanter

Don’t worry if you can’t pronounce the name correctly, all that really matters is that you appreciate the form and function. This particular decanter is preferable for young wines, and it arrives with a special pencil so you may label your decanter with the name of whatever wine you decide to enjoy.

9 in. dia. x 10 in. h

Eggflat by Josh Jakus

Here’s something notable in the category of “catch-alls”…

“This sculptural tabletop piece evolved out of an experiment in bending surfaces along seams. The Eggflat folds flat for storage and then unfurls to hold coins, keys, fruit, and other small treasures. Individual units can be joined laterally to form a landscape.”

100% industrial wool felt, nylon stitching. (Industrial felt is made from approximately 85% factory excess wool and 15% mixed fibers.)

Approx. 12″ x 12″

Folding Bike

This will probably be the first and last time I ever order something from an “RV Specialty Store,” but I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a folding bike that I can ride a mile or two to work and then just fold up and stick under my desk. This bike is obviously on the low end of what you can buy, so I don’t expect to be able to use it in Le Tour de France any time soon, but it will get me from point A to point B and collapses in seconds.

(Sweater) Espresso Cups

These are definitely growing on me.

“New in Alyssa Ettinger’s knitware line are these petite cups imprinted by the cuffs of knit sweaters, one stockinette and one cable stitch. Super for a hit of espresso, a tealight or maybe a place for your jewelry or loose change. Available in unglazed white, glazed celery or glazed blue (matte glaze on the inside of all cups).”

Set of two.
