I love this so much I’m speechless.

“A series of four cubes, each displaying one glowing number. When placed in order, current time is displayed normally. When placed in “dis”order, time is completely rearranged.”

2″ x 1.5″ x 1.5″ each block

Pretty cute little shakers.

“Shake is a pair of salt and pepper shakers in a white vitreous china with large cork stoppers making them easy to refill. D 7.5cm H 7cm. Tonfisk originates from Finland with the idea of creating new innovative tableware without sacrificing values like clarity, functionality and personality.”

Philippe Starck’s bedside gun lamp. Now all you need is Tobias Wong’s bullet proof duvet and you’ll be all set.

Gold-plated die-cast aluminum alloy (cast from actual guns, with some details removed), laminate paper and plastic shade, with dimmer

notes:
The Gun Lamp collection was introduced as prototype in the spring of 2005 at the Salone del Mobile in Milan and at Moss during ICFF. The prototype lamps were gold-leafed and signed by Starck. This gold-plated lamp is the production version.

16” high
8” diameter base

Very well done and oh so cute.

“This stationery is inspired by a 1920s British telegram. Printed on heavy weight baby blue paper and comes with official looking metal clasp envelopes. The light gray envelopes are perfectly sized so you can mail the telegram flat.”

Set of 6 telegrams and envelopes.

8.5″ x 5″ notecard, 6″ x 9″ envelopes.

Several of these scattered randomly about the center of a table would make an extremely nice centerpiece, or one on it’s own would make a nice, simple accent.

“Finely crafted from polished stainless steel, this four arm candleholder evokes 1970’s minimalist sculpture. Expertly balanced, it adds a striking modern note to any table or credenza.”

I certainly enjoy having a sip of water in the middle of the night, especially when you can be sure there isn’t anything you didn’t invite floating around… A bit on the pricey side, but a great design, perfect for a guest room nightstand.

9″ in Lime, Blue, or Pink

I had to pinch myself when I heard the news: Tord Boontje designed a line for Target! The only thing I like more than great design, is affordable great design, and who could deny this set of four dessert plates for $17?

This is an odd little light, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. I like how it clips on to the edge and extends so far over the table surface without taking up any work space.

The industrial feel to this lamp is disarming, you’d think it was any ‘ol lamp, but I suppose the fact it’s from Droog Design collection means we should like it more.

materials: Porcelain, metal.

There is nothing I dislike more than washing dishes, so anything that combines a mug and a plate gets my approval…

White, 4.1″ tall

Such a lovely set of bowls…

“This set of 8 lotus flower bowls is a work of art. Each bowl sits perfectly inside the next, graduating in size from 1.5” diameter (perfect for salt and spices) to the largest (an excellent small salad bowl or serving piece for a festive summer fruit salad) measuring 9.5″ in diameter. The bowls stack to a stately 4.5″. The lotus is a meaningful symbol in many cultures and makes a perfect wish for a marriage, birth or other important life changing event. Always in search of practicality – we made sure that the ceramic bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe.”

Napkins are often overlooked as excellent communication devices. This clever set makes it quite easy for you or your guests to spell out intentions.

250x 250mm 3 ply Cocktail Napkin

12 napkins per pack

(sorry, but you’ll probably pay more for shipping than for the actual napkins)

Here’s something that would take up some wall space and add some interest…

“A series of eight, overlapping 10” square mirrors float against the wall thanks to an easy-to-install hidden support frame. While the individual mirrors may seem small, the collective grouping has a substantial presence that works well above a sofa or a console table.”

Mounting hardware included

28.25″ dia x 16.25″ h

“Made from mouth-blown borosilicate glass, the standard for strong, lightweight glass with heat- and cold-resistant properties, this carafe is double walled for insulation, maintaining the temperature of liquid. Carafe lid is made from silicone and stainless steel. Dishwasher safe.”

Size: 10.5h x 4.25″diam., 27 oz.

New from Jonathan Adler, the Meurice collection is their modern take on bamboo…a wonderful polished nickel “bamboo” frame with a playful top detail. I love the size of this mirror, it would be perfect for a small foyer! Also available in a Brass finish.
