easy storage

This is a pretty cool shelving system. Once the back panel has been installed, the shelves essentially “hook” in and can be removed easily for transport. Why would you need to transport, you may ask? I can see this being a pretty great system for an inbox. It’s up and out of the way when you’re not using it, and when it’s time to tackle it (say, once a week) then you just pop it out and start working.

Also, can be used to provide support for electronic devices as cables are concealed inside the back panel.

Back panel is available in either white or aluminum with your choice of three shelving colors.

I like how this toy box allows a child to utilize the niche in the front of the box, as either display space for a favorite toy, or for books. It’s also built responsibly of highly durable Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified sustainable birch wood with a 100% non-toxic, water-based finish.

Multipot Personal Electric Charger

I’ve always been slightly intrigued by this piece of technology but I find it a LOT more intriguing now that it’s 25% off (temporarily).

For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, the MultiPot Personal Electric Charger serves as a charger for up to 5 portable devices, as a place to store all your charging cords and as an ambient LED light source. The Multipot can shine light for 60,000 hours by pushing the button on the lid of the bucket. That’s 7 years.

Also, do not be fooled by the photo. It’s actually a lot smaller in person. It’s only 7.5″ high with a 9.25″ Diameter. It also comes with a 50 inch cord.

Domestic Wall Vinyls- Horse & Cat

Just when you thought the wall vinyl category couldn’t get any fatter, here comes along a couple of playful characters…(I think you could get away with tucking the cat into a corner somewhere, but you’d sure have to be committed to buy the whole horse).

“The objective of Domestic is to create collections of articles devised by designers, graphic artists or artists whose common denominator is to offer a means for the end user to freely participate. With Vynil, an alternative to wallpaper, the principle of the collection is simple: literally hand over to users who are invited to transform their interior into an area for expression and design their own decor. Thanks to Vynil, the wall space becomes the playing field for composition and into which one can put a lot of effort and invention. Beyond the practical interest it represents (no longer any need for glue or a pasting table); the Vynil collection enables new thought to be given to the place and role of the ornamental pattern in our interiors.”

Pardon the pun, but this watch is timeless. Designed by Piero Lissoni for Alessi, I could see this on the wrist of any man for years to come. Clean, simple design, the square face is elegantly rounded, with a full-sweeping second hand.

The good news is if you can’t afford to buy this console, you might be able to make one like it. Concrete certainly adds an industrial feel to a space or room, and provides a nice contrast to other materials.

Coffee Time Set, White

The way the saucers act as a lid is a definite benefit, and I especially like the spoon/stirrers. I think this would be a nice gift for someone that entertains…

Square Slippery Shelf

A shelving set that’s versatile: it’s nice to know you could change it up a bit every now and then, accomodating different sizes of objects or just for the heck of it.

“The Square Slippery Shelf is part of the Slippery Shelves series by Mark Righter and offers a new take on floating shelves: the shelves slide through a back panel into infinite configurations. The back panel mounts easily to the wall and the shelves slide right in.”

Shelf Length: 5.75″ deep x 41″ long

Sande Cubes

Now, don’t get too excited- these are the smaller cubes, not the larger side-table size. They’d be pretty useful for organizing office gear on a desk surface though…

“Sande is a new line of avant garde designs that explore the relationship between nature-inspired forms, tactility and function. The striated look of these pieces is achieved by repeat laminations of a new eco-friendly plywood from Ecuador – sande.”

6.75″W x 6.75″H x 6.75″D

Set of 3.
