With cold weather fast approaching, or already here as the case may be, this coat rack is the perfect solution for your hats and coats and such. It leans against the wall, so it would be easy to move to wherever you need it, not to mention being able to store it in a closet or out of the way when the seasons are warmer- though you might not want to since it’s so sculptural.

“Made of two slits, cut into a linear piece of wood, the Oak Coat Rack’s beauty comes from its sheer simplicity. By avoiding any glueing or assembly, the quality of the wood is beautifully highlighted, making the materials the aesthetic focus of the piece, rather than the form.”

You might want to wait for this wall sticker before you start planning world domination. It might help with logistics.

“Wall Stickers are simple to apply and easily removable. Wall Stickers are designed in Denmark and made by hand in Poland.”

Measurements: 47″ x 30″
Availble November.

I pretty much love everything that Harry Allen has done, and the fact that Tobias Wong thought of this particular edition makes it quite collectible.

“This limited edition was conceived by Tobias Wong and Josée Lepage and is a C&M exclusive, limited to 100 pieces…Similar to the remainder of the work, it is cast out of 100% Resin, 5.25″ x 10″ x 18″ (13,5 x 25 x 46 cm) in size, closed with a solid cork and plated completely with red chrome.”

Sorry, it looks like the red isn’t available anymore, but if you’re interested in White, Pink, Gold or Chrome:
$99-$179.00, you can buy it here.

“Scandinavian in its simple, unadorned and practical design, this ceramic pot from Sagaform is an ingenious way of enjoying fresh herbs much like flowers: Insert a bunch in the enlarged opening, and keep hydrated by pouring water into the corner hole. The broad base ensures that all those little stalks have access to water, while allowing air to circulate so herbs keep from becoming limp and waterlogged. Easy to take apart for cleaning. And at this price, you can buy several and surround yourself with the scent of freshly cut herbs.”

From designer Philippe Starck comes the Lux collection of plastic plates, cutlery and dinnerware. The plates all have a plastic “horn” for holding drinkware in place.

That’s right, a wooden pencil with green flocking. I kind of love it. Brought to you by
designboom of course.

First seen at the designboom mart in New York 2006.

This is a rather new item we haven’t seen around yet- all the little details make it something special for your favorite greenery.

“A personal rooftop garden…in a miniature scale. This highly detailed flower pot with stairs, windows and even handrails on the balcony will definitely add warmth to your surroundings.”

Thanks Jay!

We’ve seen this before but now it’s in a new color.

The ICON lamp is designed out of three flat sheets: two identical metal-sheets and a sheet of veneer. The metal sheets, cut by laser, include all the necesary construction parts to hold the lampshade, lamp-holder, cable and base. Put together this way the lamp offers two perspectives. A “slim” form from the side view and the siluette of a lamp icon from the front view.

This unobstrusive design is very accomodating to a great variety of both private and contract interiors.

It’s been forever since I had a shower radio. I think I want to bring that back into my routine.

• Splash-proof and water-resistant design
• Large, clear speaker
• Suction cup; non-slip handle and hanging cord • Plastic
• Do not submerge in water
• Requires three AA batteries (not included)

I’d imagine this dinnerware would spruce up your table setting for the holidays. You could buy just a few to accent, or do the whole set to make a tastefully festive tabletop.

Dishwasher safe.

This has such a simple pattern, but it’s just enough to make the room interesting.

– Hand-hooked and tufted

This floor lamp is the perfect size for small spaces- it does the job without taking up a whole lot of visual space. And, it’s under $100, which means it’s the perfect choice.

“Classic design moves light-years ahead in a bright new polished nickel finish. Head and arm rotate to direct light at any angle. Adjusting handle stays cool.”
