The surface texture and coloring of this steel bowl make an intriguing centerpiece…

“The Cohncave Bowl by Alessi, named after its designer Susan Cohn, is a contemporary household accessory. The bowl features dimpled steel, colored with a baked-on coating of epoxy resins in black and grey.”

With just enough pattern to add some interest to the contrast, this collection is really eye-catching when mixed and matched with the Marrimekko mugs shown in the photograph.

“Maija Louekari dots your eyes with this lighthearted collection for your kitchen. Decorated in either red and white or black and white spotted patterns, she has coordinated both large and small trays, oven mitts, placemats, potholders, mugs, and aprons with her highly popular design.”

The Bouroullec brothers have done it again- yet another product that is impressive in its unusual approach (and solution) to a rather interesting objective.

“Teracrea was set up in 2002 based on an idea of the two founder partners, Mauro Canfori and Emanuela Destro, with the objective of creating a family of products designed to introduce greenery into internal architecture and offer new solutions to traditional pots for outdoor plants. In light of this, a number of important designers were asked to interpret and explore the concept of ‘greenery as a means of organizing the space around it’.
Treille is a system of cylindrical vases horizontally aligned and connected by gray-green nylon belts and adjustable lacquered metal braces. The pre-assembled set hangs from a ceiling or woodwork. The greenery planted in the vases finds an easy support to grow vertically in either direction. Hanging brackets are included.”

The Molo Soft Wall is now 50 % off (as of Oct 2, 2007).

“Pioneering inventive and environmentally sound applications for novel materials, Todd MacAllen and Stephanie Forsythe have molded Tyvek (a white polyethylene fiber-based sheet material made by DuPontTM ) into a modular Softwall. Few partitions can transform space with such visual delicacy and material strength. The partition opens up to 20 feet, employing a simple but robust accordion pleat that retracts as easily as it opens. Designed to be freestanding, the Softwall should be arranged with gentle curves for stability. It has a subtle translucence that allows silhouettes of passing forms to sift through. Spot-cleanable and virtually indestructible, the Wall is suitable for domestic and office use.

This item is flammable and is not intended for high traffic public spaces.”

Even condensation can be aesthetically pleasing…

“It basically turns the notion of annoying condensation rings on ist head, and make them something to look forward to. Every time you lift your glass a beautiful Cherry Blossom, the Sakura Flower appears and subtely changes its shape…This is an amazing quality glass, the base feels thick and heavy, yet the walls are nice and thin giving off a crisp chime when toasted. The cherry blossom is etched perfectly into the base, so it creates a beautiful and perfect shape each time the glass is lifted…”

Set of two glasses per box
each: 4.3″ (11 cm) x 2.9″ (7,2 cm).

The message changes as you walk in or walk out of the door, and I suppose which way is the ‘come in’ and which is the ‘go away’ is up to your mood or whatever side of the bed you woke up on.

I can’t really get enough of Maxim’s work. It’s a wonderful mix of traditional and modern.

“Maxim Velcovsky takes two of the most common decorations of his childhood in the former Czekoslovakia and welds them into this uncommon object – a bust of Lenin decorated with the famous blue onion pattern (which we in the states know as Delft).”
