Simplify your herb preparation with this handy little chopper that stores the blade when not in use.

Clever, compact design in a handy package. That’s the simple premise for this herb chopper by UK’s critically acclaimed Joseph Joseph. The soft-handled, double-bladed cutter slides from the non-slip chopping base. Effortlessly and neatly, dice nuts, chocolate, herbs or garlic cloves. Then sweep them right off the base and into the mix. Wipe clean and safely store the blade back into the compartment.

These two rugs are added to the ever expanding list of things that are too expensive to buy but completely cool enough to wish there were copies/knockoffs (I feel like a traitor to the design world for saying that).

Positive and Negative Rug were designed as a special collection for Kasthall by Swedish designer Björn Dahlström. Both rugs have a pattern of hand written text, which describes the “feelings” of the rug – one with a more positive outlook and the other somewhat more negative – hence the names. The rugs are hand tufted in pure linen, with a white base and navy blue text. The standard size is 170x240cm, other sizes available upon request.

Whoa, I think I love this seemingly spliced-together rug. For those of you in the UK, you’re lucky enough to take advantage of some savings. I didn’t see any available stockists in the US, but please let me know if that’s incorrect.

Designer: Marta Laudani & Marco Romanelli
Dimensions: Width: 200mm* x Depth: 3000mm
(*I think this is supposed to be ‘2000mm’ as that would make the rug about 6.5′ x 9′. I would double check before ordering though, fyi.)

How about this ‘urban’ bedding from CB2? Like it or not? I’m leaning towards ‘like’.

Overscaled cityscape draws a fine line, radiating a modern urban universe. Original carbon drawing printed on super white, super soft 300-thread-count all-cotton percale. Duvet with hidden button closures reverses to solid white. Shams meet in a graphic semi-sphere on one side, reverse to solid white on the other; clean envelope closure.
