Twist Coatrack

I’d say this is a very good choice for a coat rack. It stands alone just as well as with what it’s meant for…

“Sculptural and space saving, the Twist Coat Rack is an affordable, well-built design that fits cleanly into virtually any setting. Designed by the award-winning duo of Burtscher and Bertollini, the slim, double helix form is devoid of superfluous ornamentation yet sturdily accommodates numerous articles of clothing with the help of a wide base and steel connectors…Assembly required. Made in Italy.”

Lance Dining Extension Table

A while ago, we had a reader who was on a desperate search for a table that expanded widthwise instead of lengthwise. It is somewhat of a design anomaly, and in all my searches I didn’t find anything close. But today, I found one. It’s too late for that dear reader, he has succumb to an inferior lenthwise expanding table. But for those of you still looking, don’t despair, your table has arrived.

Foam Bowl

Some of you have surely seen one of these sponge pieces by Wanders, but may I remind you that the concept is really quite smart, and the end result is something worth considering adding to your own home accoutrements..

“Originally designed by Marcel Wanders for Droog Design, this piece is created by dipping a sponge form into fluid porcelain clay. After drying, the piece is fired in an oven where the sponge burns away leaving only the porcelain in its place. In this way porcelain products can be made without a mold.”
