“Different and distinctive, it is Ego’s design that sets it apart from the rest. Designed by Stefan Lindfors, Ego brings a modern perspective to the international coffee culture: a cup suitable for all coffee specialties. The unique design of the handle helps keep the cup steady both in the hand and on its saucer. Ego is also an impressive dinner service that has large (25 and 31cm in diameter) multi-purpose plates. They can be used, for example, as service plates, for pasta, salads or serving. All parts are oven, dishwasher and microwave safe. 7 oz.”

I went to a Montessori school when I was growing up and I remember loving the pink tower and the way the wood sounded as the blocks clinked together on the shiny pink lacquer. I also remember how someone would always steal top block.

If you do have kids, the pink tower is used for introducing children to concepts of three dimensional size variance, weight differential and intricate stacking.

Whether you have kids or not, it’s a pretty cool looking sculptural object.

A clever way to save some change in a “timely” manner.

So maybe this is still a little high for a lamp, even though it’s almost half off, but I think it’s different enough to warrant the extra cash. Plus, it’s imported, so that unfortunately affects the overall price.

“The San Marco is a sleek and low profile desk lamp. Fluorescent lamps are housed in the top extrusion of the four sided frame. It is available in three sizes and two metal finishes: matte aluminum or gun metal. On/off switch on body.”

I know it’s probably way too late to get these for this holiday season, but, hey, if you buy them now you can save them for next year and be way ahead of the game. They’re awfully pretty.

Something like this makes me want to cook just so I could use it.

“This curious object is intended to be a soy sauce dropper, but would work well for other liquids in your gourmet pantry, like your fanciest olive oil. Fill with your liquid of choice, hold your finger over the hole in the dropper and lift – you control the drops with a little bit of physics. This elegant glassware will look beautiful on your dining table.”

Certain vintage patterns are reproduced, thankfully, due to their compatibility with modern aesthetic. This particular set is done in black and white, which usually lends itself to a more modern austere look, yet with a traditional flower design it seems to bridge the gap between past and present quite well.
