This lamp is delightful. You’d have to make sure you had a bulb/socket, but I really like the idea of a slight chime…would be peaceful I think.

“This lamp is ingenious as well as delicately beautiful. Five pieces of porcelain fit together over a light bulb (light bulb & socket not included) to create this light, all held together by gravity. Very natural & zen, the piece will also give a slight chime if it finds itself in a light breeze.”

I’ve seen this before (may have even posted it before) but I never noticed that the unit is actually concave. That makes it that much cooler.

This modular lighting system is based on combinable, illuminated balls. Each ball, or molecule, has three flat, rectangular surfaces, which allows for easy installation in and around corners.

One & two ball configurations are available for inner room edges, 3 and 6 ball combinations for outer edges, as well as a 4 ball configuration for the wall. Simply order the corresponding number of basic units.

This white metal mirror has a little shelf to put your various little items on…a nice way to open up a space and still have a ledge for display purposes. And, the best part is that it’s on sale.

I have mixed feelings about the way the handle of this cup is shaped, but I do feel that the storage solution is quite smart. The mug’s handle interlocks with the rubber wall mounted holder, making it easy to grab or deposit.

Apart of Mixko’s Hat Trick collection, the Delight and Coron lampshades will certainly liven up a room. Made from wool felt hats, the size and shape of these little lampshades would be perfect for any spot that needs a little something extra.

Delight lampshade (w/cut-out butterflies) available in Cream White, Sky Blue, Blossom Pink or Ruby Red.
Coron lampshade available in many, many more.

(These lampshades must be used with energy Efficient Light Bulbs – Max 20w. Use of normal bulb will cause the shade to de-form.)

For the price, this Honeycomb lamp is quite a steal. Packaged flat, you simply unfold it to create the shape. (Lightbulb/cord not included)

Such a nice way to display the time…with veneered beech construction and a vintage red LED display, this digital desk clock tells the time with style. Arrives complete with wall transformer.

Quite an interesting-looking lamp…

“Brazilian Maurício Klabin designed the Eclipse Lamp in 1982 as part of a series of objects he called “cocoons,” due to their rounded form, internal volumes and capacity to change. With the same kind of coiled delicacy you find in a soft-shelled nautilus, the Eclipse is a model of simplicity and ingenuity. Fabricated from a single strip of polypropylene attached to a steel frame, the Eclipse can be opened or closed to varying degrees. This allows the shape of the fixture to be altered to expand or reduce the amount of direct light or change the angle of illumination.”

Steel base; translucent polypropylene diffuser; black cord.

Jonathan Adler has been blowing up lately, evidenced here in his ubiquitous lantern design linens being sold at Big Box retailer Bed Bath and Beyond. I like these sheets and they’re not too pricey.

Get away from the typical e-mail invite with these multiple choice invitations that have the perfect amount of information on them: reason for the party, date, location, time and RSVP information.

Here’s another great dual-compartment business card holder.

“Just run your thumb along the front to present your business card. Place received cards at the back to safely file and easily recall your new acquaintances. If you’re doing business in Japan, don’t forget to accept a card with both hands, to study it carefully and to leave it lying on the table until the end of the meeting. Persona is made of a single folded stainless steel plate and holds approximately 8 business cards on each side.”

Material: 18/8 Matte Stainless Steel
Size: 3.75″ x 2.25″ / 9,5 cm x 5,5 cm

Thanks Patrick!

What a delightful idea, napkins holding fortunes within their folds…

“These serviette sets are a wonderful play on the traditional fortune cookies with a prediction on every napkin. “Soon you will be sitting on top of the world” is one of the predictions on the serviettes. Available in sets of 4, 6 or 8 serviettes, this also makes a wonderful gift.”

This might be my favorite alarm clock for the month, or maybe this year so far… You tilt it to turn it on and tilt it back to turn it off. Very simple, and so very cool (and not very expensive, hurray!).

Available in rhodemine pink, lime yellow, green bamboo, black, turquoise, and white.

I love Mom and Pop shops because they usually have some of the more interesting items for sale. Papercloud hand makes each book and card using various techniques including sewing, printing, painting, & cutting.
