This clock is pretty perfect…and, at 20″ square, it would certainly make a statement.

“Sophisticated in a modern white square, time keeps its cool with surprising proportions and bold black and orange hands. Hangs easily on a wall. Or you can display it on a shelf or mantle. Use this oversized, modern clock to elevate any room or decor. Uses one AA battery, not included.”

19.5″ square x 4″d.

Now this is nice. This grommet mount LCD Monitor Arm is made of 90% recycled aluminum and allows for perfect placement of your monitor. The arm is fully rotational and swings 360° and tilts 60° both horizontally and vertically for viewing adjustability.

For installation, simply insert into a desk grommet, or for desks without grommets you can easily have one drilled for you.

Often texture is used as a way to add interest and drama to an interior- this particular lamp is hammered metal, which adds a very subtle shimmering effect.

Hurray for recycled vase covers that are particularly pretty- packed flat, they arrive ready for you to unfold and arrange. Do I need to point out that these would also make lovely gifts?

Decidedly different, this floor mirror looks like it should cost more than it does. Such a great shape…

“Resembling an elegant tube of lipstick, the Elliptical standing mirror is a standout addition for anywhere you want to get a look at yourself: bedroom, bath, dressing room, entrance hall. Measuring 67″ tall and a mere foot in diameter, this interesting piece takes up little space but adds a lot of style. ”

This set of four sturdy bags can be used for recycling containers or for reusable shopping bags.

“The bags are made of industrial-strength tarpaulin-a heavy double-warp fabric that is plastic-coated- the bags are waterproof and can be quickly washed out in the sink or outside with a garden hose. Each bag is color coded to provide easy visual cues when separating cans from bottles from papers. A fourth bag can function as a compost holder. Velcro tabs enable the bags to be ganged together in a row; handles make for easy carrying. Four interchangeable printed labels are included for use in the plastic window on the front of each bag.”

Great price for bamboo flooring.

An expletive would be apt to describe my total shock and pleasure upon finding this lamp.

“The WET Lamp is an elegant and playful series of glass lamps with an alluring water-submerged light bulb at its center. Putting an exposed light bulb in water certainly raises some eyebrows, but it also creates an intriguingly simple dimmer switch. When a thin silver rod is slid into the water, the WET Lamp turns on and becomes progressively brighter as the rod is submerged.
Despite its precarious concept, the Wet lamp is a completely safe and isolated system of low voltage power.”

Hand blown borosilicate glass, silicone gaskets, silver electrode and contact, 10W Xenon bulb with gold plug.

British designer Sam Johnson has an ingenius way of lighting your booksshelves in a very integrated way.

“Light Reading was designed to nestle in amongst your books and remain invisible until illuminated. Made from a material called ‘Secret sign’ (by Perspex), the light is bent into the shape of a book. Inside the book a low energy lamp is mounted providing a safe and low temperature light source. When switched off it blends in with the other books with its matt black spine. Once illuminated the light reveals its title, which is laser engraved on the inside.

Includes cable, switch and plug.”

It seems people have tired of the typical ostentatiously modern designs and are favoring more witty designs that are influenced by styles of the past. I’m getting a little sick of my furniture looking like a spaceship anyway.

I love finding things like this- a simple, graphic design with colors that make a statement…

“Big 5 is a beautiful modern interpretation of the common coat rack. Structure painted plate white with 5 satinized semi-transparent plastic hooks. Attaches to the wall with regular screws.”

30″ width x 1.75″ depth x 5.5″ height.

Available in White, Grey, Yellow and Orange.

A boxcutter, zinc cast and chrome plated, by one of our favorite designers…consider it as a rather good gift for many a discerning design afficianado.

This is quite stunning.

“Creepers is a complex pattern of fine, light catching leaves made of laser sintered nylon. Clipping an array of Creeper stems on floor-to-ceiling cables creates floating clouds of light that divide interior spaces. Intertwined leaves sprout from the stem in a seemingly random disorder: collectively these surfaces cover a pre-ordained reflector area. Each leaf follows the same structural rules but with considerable scope for individual variance. Thicknesses taper from the main stem to reflectors thin enough to be semi-translucent. The stems contain LEDs that project light onto the leaves.”

A nicely shaped lamp for home or office…interesting enough to completely warrant the price tag.

“An arc of chromed steel elegantly elevates the large, luminous white linen shade for clean, modern lighting. To softly diffuse the light, the oversized 19″-diameter shade is enclosed with a sheer layer of linen across the top. The effect is quite stunning in a living room, bedroom or office. Shade height is 7″. Uses one 60-watt bulb, not included.”
