I’m totally in love with Jasper Morrison’s Glo-Ball series, but I was unaware until now that there is a mini version (3.5″h x 4″w) of his lamps available. This would be perfect right by your bed or in the livingroom.

“This acid-etched and hand-blown wall, ceiling, or table lamp provides diffused light and consists of a flashed opaline glass diffuser and white injection-molded PBT base. 25-watt halogen G9 frosted bulb included.”

This is crazy. At the time of your purchase, materialize will give you a cd-rom which has a proprietary software file on it. You then take the file back to materialise and they will recreate the your lamp for you.

“the truly unique aspect of each materialise lamp is that it was created through the use of rapid prototyping technology. this 3-d material printing process allows for an unlimited freedom of design far beyond the capacity of traditional manufacturing processes.

you may be wondering why materialise products are named with the *.mgx extension? *.mgx is the file extension for materialise’s proprietary software. each product produced by materialise is rendered from a unique *.mgx file which accompanies your product on a cd rom. you can reproduce your product by sending the *.mgx file to materialise.”

I apologize in advance. For many of you who read our little site, you might have noticed how we usually post things available in the US, and try not to stray too far over the pond, as shipping rates and times can get a little ugly. But, as our readership grows, so too must we. That being said, I also must admit this post stems mostly from selfish reasons.

I love this lamp. It’s a prime example of an elegant, functional object. (If anyone knows of a US retailer, please please let me know)

Designer:David Taylor

height: 460 mm
Diameter: 190 mm
Bulb: 60W E27 (40W globe bulb incl.)

(Only for the European market. Others on request.)

Okay, so it’s not “hex” but it’s pentagonal and triangular and I think those are quite possibly the next best thing. In fact, they may just be the next new thing.

“The Polyedre bowls by Olaf De Winter has a smooth matte glaze that makes these bowls a pleasure to use everyday. These multi-sided bowls hold anything in elegance and style. Made of durable stoneware, the Polyedre bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe.”

Specifications:

Medium measures 4″ x 9″ x 9″

These planters are such a nice price (comparably) for decently modernish design.

“Simple, modern earthenware forms need no embellishment outside of a cultivar orchid green or a neutral prairie-style brown. Dipped inside/out glaze seals it 100% waterproof so plants can go saucer-less.”

Waterproof; no drainage hole
Use indoors or outdoors
Earthenware with a dipped glaze

Quite the thing to have when you’re needing to keep track of a few of the important cities around the world. Each clock has individual mechanisms, and is shaped according to the respective countries they represent.

White metal faces and red metal hands.

I’m fond of tidy, stackable-type things, and this fits all of those table-top condiments into a neat stack for easy trips to and fro the table…

“By designer Koen De Winter, the Stack is Perfect for holding any number of table condiments including salt & pepper, coarse sea salt, chili peppers or sauce, and can even provide a tidy resting place for those pesky spent tea bags.”

Oh, I do believe these are the best doormats ever.

“These doormats designed by Ed Annink for Droog Design are based on pictograms that were developed by Gerd Arntz in the 1920s.”

I love Harry. It’s an unusual method of wall-mounting storage. The anemone-like tendrils grab and hold small accessories such as keys, cell phones, and even flowers. The shapes change depending on the configurations you choose. The Harry would look best in odd multiples, like 3 or 5 or 7.

Talk about a creative space divider solution…this one takes the cake as far as I’m concerned. (Does anybody else think the picture’s kinda creepy though?)

“sticks is a conceptual space divider that allows you to be as creative as possible within an area. based on modules 23.6″ x 11.8″ and 19.7″ x 9.8″, the sticks can be used as a independently or as a grouping. use of fiberglass or wooden sticks allow color variations, while density permits different effects.”

I just love Product Dose. They have great product picks and come up with some real gems. Like these pots and pans by Jasper Morrison

If I was more of a candle person, I’d probably buy these pleasantly hefty candleholders. I’m quite fond of the high gloss finish (especially the white and black).

Yellow, Black, Stem and White available.

If one were to need a night-light, why not have one named Carlos? If it doesn’t strike you as your favorite, give it some time; it’ll grow on you.

“the carlos night-light is a small porcelain night light with a sweet disposition. designed by kathleen walsh for walteria living, carlos is constructed of bright white porcelain which emits a warm glow when lit from the inside. carlos comes complete with a clip socket, 7.5 watt bulb and a snap-together linen medical cone.”

The rolly storage mirror is perfect for narrow areas for storing all the clutter that seems to accumulate at points of entry to your home.

“Combining a traditional hall mirror with tambor door storage crafted of richly grained solid walnut, the Rolly is as compact as it is useful. In addition to allowing last minute adjustments to hair, clothes or face, the substantial reflective capacity of the mirror injects a sense of spaciousness in often tight entryways. The all-walnut compartment below the mirror provides a convenient shelf for display or temporary storage and concealed storage for personal items from keys and phones to wallets and cameras. The tambor door is constructed of fine, laser-cut strips of walnut that are reassembled in the precise order they were cut for a seamless, solid appearance. Laminated to canvas backing, the door offers flexible sliding for easy operation. Two keyhole inserts on the back allow the Rolly to be easily suspended from the wall (hardware not included). Mirror supports up to 10 lbs.”

Thanks Rob!

Who doesn’t want a little whimsy at places where you’re trying to keep the snoops and sticky fingers at bay?
