If you were a bit ho-hum with the original dark colors of the Woolly Pocket Collection, you’ll be happy to hear they’ve added ‘camel hair’ and ‘peacock blue’ to the color selections. Fingers crossed there’ll be even more colors soon (like pink or purple maybe).

Overwhelmed by where to start on your kitchen or bath remodel? Design in a bag has various bags or ‘recipes’ of color and material groupings along with price and resource listings that takes the guesswork out of the equation.

If exclusive items are your sort of thing, then maybe you’ll be interested to hear that Ligne Roset is celebrating their 150th anniversary by offering this special edition of the Pumpkin chair by Pierre Paulin. With only 150 in each color (red or blue wool), and only 42 of those available in the US market, you better put your name down quick if you want one for your own home. Originally this chair was designed for the drawing rooms of the Elysee Palace in 1971.

Apparently this polished stainless steel dish by Lluis Clotet is an homage to the characters from the novels of the Spanish poet Foix (of which a context is not so easy to find). Whatever the homage, there’s no doubt that this dish could be a functional art piece, though it would hurt to see it get scratches, wouldn’t it?

Dimension: 1.5 in. H x 7.25 in. Diam.
Designer: Lluis Clotet

Also available for £34.00 at Design Museum Shop.

I swear, make a music player with an iPod dock, paint it shiny black (and keep it minimal) and you have yourself a willing audience waiting to send you money.
