Such a smart use of old magazines- I like the fact you can ‘wedge’ paper in between the pages too…
“Pulp Bulletin Board is made from densely packed used magazines and works just like a normal bulletin board. You can also wedge in business cards and other materials and skip the push-pin all together.”

Think of all the places you could use these- I especially like that they can be folded away when not in use, and it also certainly helps that they are now on sale.
‘Thick sheets of wool felt are precision cut and minimally stitched to give this “box” its shape. Useful for its ability to hold a wide range of notions, the Felt Basket is kind to walls and tabletops and won’t bruise or nick adjacent surfaces in the event of a bump. While utilitarian storage has its merits, this item’s soft architectural presence furthers its appeal. When not it use, it can be folded into a more compact shape for storage. The 100% wool construction is naturally dirt and flame resistant.’

If you’d like to own some original stencil style graffiti art but can’t afford the art star(s), you’re in luck. This one is affordable as far as art goes, and the ‘spray-paint-plus-English-portrait’ is interesting and has just enough edginess.
“Henry’s spray art is a send up of classical English portraiture…Henry Reeve Designs and hand cuts each stencil, and then applies and sprays each one himself. For 66degrees.com, this small edition of 20 images will be applied to high quality artist’s paper…Each edition will ship with a certificate of authenticity, numbered and signed by the artist.”

In most cases, I’d rather have 1 item that performs two functions instead of 2 that each only perform one. But for some reason, listening to iTunes on my computer doesn’t really work for me while I’m using my computer. It slows down my computer a little and the speakers leave a little to be desired. I’ve been wanting a external way to listen to my iTunes library and I think this may just be it.

It all adds up to the ultimate home audio system for anyone looking for iPod and radio control in one unit. Available in black and white. Dimensions: 7.36″H x 11.88″ W x 8.66″ D. Weight: 6.33 lbs”

The Campfire still life by Klein Reid brings the outdoors in. In large spaces, it would perfect for that void corner.

Domestic, a French company is teaming up with a bunch of cool designers (Jeremy Scott, Marcel Wanders, Kaws, Ich&Kar, etc.) to make some really cool wall appliquรจs. I like these floating cubes a lot.
“Ich&Kar, a tandem of graphic designers who cast an outlandish but qualified gaze on a range of subjects as varied as fashion, gastronomy, music, design and arcchitecture from luxury to consumer goods. Creators of messages and imaginative images turned into visual identity, their aim is to inspire sense with lightness and humour.”
