Whether or not you know of Tord Boontje by now or not, you’re sure to appreciate this new design. Keep in mind it’s on the smaller size (but it would most likely have a big impact).

These little storage boxes would be a perfect gift, or maybe even a perfect box for a smaller gift to go in.

“Designed exclusively for The Conran Shop, these small storage boxes are made from sheesham wood (also known as Indian rosewood) and have various metal finishes: brass, copper and nickel. These discreet storage boxes are perfect for jewelry or other keepsakes.”

This will most likely cause second glances and inquiries aplenty. Pretty clever.

“It is an E26/E27 bulb with 30 watts – so flexible to fit into pretty much any socket.”

This is the first I’ve seen of the wall mounted version. I think it would look quite charming in multiples if you had the wallspace.

This is crazy looking (in a good way, not bad). It could be a nice wedding gift…

“A modern interpretation of a traditional Greek design used at weddings (the circle symbolizing the union), this carafe is fired in Portugal in the local hardwaring clay, and finished with a cork. Glossy white. Holds about a liter of water.”

Packaging: Gift box
Size: 8″h x 9″l

These interesting geometrical shapes are a sight for sore eyes. The soft glow looks to be the perfect amount of light needed for above a dining table or side table.

“It’s shade, made up of a three dimensional fabric hand woven from transparent polypropylene lends the light a look which triggers images of moorish architecture and the calm relax of oriental salons.
This system allows for a wide combination of geometrical shapes of different shapes and size. The collection is made up of spheres, ovals and diamonds.”

Designed by Ray Power.

How many cake stands could qualify as modern? This is not a rhetorical question, by the way, I really only know of this one.

“A contemporary interpretation of the traditional cake stand, this versatile glass piece has an intricate reverse lace pattern in black. Perfect for serving cakes and other confections, or as a display piece where the light filters through the pattern to create shadows on the surface below. Hand-wash only.”

Size: 4.25h x 11.75″diam

I’m not a huge fan of an overly olfactory experience, but I think this is perfect for anyone who is.

“It’s an incense burner. It’s an ashtray. It can hold a taper candle, or a tea light. It’s the four-in-one cube that serves four different functions depending on what side is up. Available in matte black or glossy white, this is a cleverly designed ceramic cube for those who cringe at clutter. Devised by Gualitiero Saachi and made in Italy for Bosa.”

Hydroponics? It sounds slightly hi-tech, but I’m sure it would make an interesting experiment. Plus, it would make your plants look space age.

“Cultivate at home or your workplace with the same technique used in space stations and greenhouses. Streamgarden is a small personal garden for your home or place of work. It is designed to use the hydroponics technique in an integrated system. Hydroponics gives a magnificent and fast growth of plants. At the same time it is using water and nutrition in an efficient way.”

Size: 47 x 24 x 23 cm.

Contents: upper tank, lower tank, four pots, circulation pump with filter, outflow pipe, 4 bags of nutrition A, 4 bags of nutrition B, mixing bottle, clay pellets and a users manual.

These would be hard to go wrong with, and it’s available in three different sizes, so you can pick the perfect scale for the space.

“Caravaggio is characterised by direct lighting without glare. Caravaggio also features an opening at the top, which casts light upwards and illuminates both the suspension and cord.”

Material: Metal with high gloss lacquer.

Available in white or black.

Kitchens with limited counterspace and no dishwashers could use a dishrack like this. The little pegs allow you to store lots of different plates, and provide more surface area unlike those metal drying racks.

A wall mounted umbrella, for people with tiny yards without the ground space for the umbrella stand.

Dramatic, indeed. At 30″ diameter, this baby will eat up that space above your dining table and make a statement with no problem at all.

“Way dramatic overscaled crisp white linen taper suspends a clean modern glow to dine by. 15′ plug-in cord works with high loft ceilings.”

Linen shade with white cord, on/off line switch.

Easy to turn on/off and almost indestructable, this lamp is bound to pay for itself with just a few uses. No more worrying about knocking the light over in the dark while searching for that switch…

“This lamp can be switched on or off with a simple wave of the hand and is constructed from a thermoplastic material that makes it nearly impossible to break, creating the perfect table lamp for a young environment. It also features a green LED light that indicates its whereabouts in the dark.”

7h x 6w x 5.25″l
