Kartell products are on sale through Midnight May 14th at highbrowfurniture.com. I especially like the Trix, which can be configured as an ottoman, a chair, a lounge or a bed. How versatile!

ON-OFF alarm clock

This might be my favorite alarm clock for the month, or maybe this year so far… You tilt it to turn it on and tilt it back to turn it off. Very simple, and so very cool (and not very expensive, hurray!).

Available in rhodemine pink, lime yellow, green bamboo, black, turquoise, and white.

Itbed mattress and futon

This is a pretty smart design, and it would certainly impress your guests…Imagine pulling it out of the closet, setting it down, adjusting, and then saying, “Ta-da!”. I think I wouldn’t mind it as an everyday bed either, as it has a casual/edgy look about it.

“The itbed is made from 7 mm thick cardboard that is folded like an accordion. In one step the itbed can be collapsed into an easily portable bundle making the cardboard bed an ideal solution for guest beds or frequent movers. The zigzag profile of the itbed, reminiscent of a house of cards, is stabilized from head to foot by two lengths of webbing…The itbed is available in two models. itbed futon is made for futons or thinner roll-up mattresses and comes with an extra horizontal support that is also collapsible. This particular model is especially useful as a guest bed. itbed mattress is made for use with more traditional mattresses and is thus suitable for every day use.”

Fortune Serviette/Napkins

What a delightful idea, napkins holding fortunes within their folds…

“These serviette sets are a wonderful play on the traditional fortune cookies with a prediction on every napkin. “Soon you will be sitting on top of the world” is one of the predictions on the serviettes. Available in sets of 4, 6 or 8 serviettes, this also makes a wonderful gift.”
