This might be a nod to traditional Chinese culture, but it could also be a very handy way of having sauces and such slightly separated from your main course.

‘An age-old tradition is revitalized with the contemporary form of the Bowls Plus series. In Chinese culture, it is impolite to finish everything that’s been served, as if to say, “thank you, you gave me more than enough!”. Bowls Plus caters to this tradition with an extra little section built right in where you can politely and conveniently store the leftovers.’

I posted this over a year ago, but I just found it from a US retailer so I thought it was worthy of a repost.

“With its ability to rotate every shelf to a new or different position, joy has a versatility that can be claimed by very few shelving units.

Dash McDonald designed a light shade with hex (my fav.) perforated shapes that pop out and allow the consumer to choose how much light will shine through.

Knoll’s having a sale until tomorrow so now’s your last chance to get a Barcelona Chair, Tulip table or other Knoll designs on the cheap! (I’m using the word “cheap” in a relative nature).

The Aha Stool (seen peeking from behind the case study bed) was designed by Philippe Starck and is now very much within financial reach for most of us). The great thing about this stool is that you can use it for seating, table or storage, and it can be used both indoor or out.

Yeah, I know, I use the word “simple” way too much, but tough. Deal wit’ it. I really like the way this very simple pendant lamp makes no effort to hide what it is… instead, it does the opposite.

“Sofie Refer perfectly executes this minimalist design meant to highlight the bulb, socket and cable. Constructed of thick mouth blown glass, this lamp has already won the Good design’ Award (2001) from the Chicago Antheneum, and is destined to become a classic.”

lamp measures 3.5″ diameter x 5.75″ height; cable measures 7.5′

I was at a the Super Target near my office yesterday and was confused and pleasantly surprised when I found several decorative items that I wanted. Usually when target tries to do modern, they get the scale and materials all wrong–usually way too small and junky. But Target did it this time! The had lamps that were at least 3 feet high, throw blankets that were mohair and some pieces were solid wood! I was astonished. I entirely recommend that if you have one nearby, and want some finishing touches, stop by and check it out. Don’t misunderstand me. You will not think you have accidentally wandered into Neiman Marcus, but you WILL think Target is taking it up a notch. The reason I recommend that you actually go visit the store is because the photos they have on the site do not do the products justice.

It’s in their Global Bazaar collection, “where the possibilities are endless but the supply is limited.” Consider yourself warned.

This particular item is a great hanging pendant light with a fabric drum shade.

-Features a 15L’ clear cord
-Requires a 100-watt bulb (not included)
-Part of the Global Bazaar collection
-10.5″ H x 18″ dia.

Update: This item is no longer available through original retailer.
