“It’s a lamp, it’s an end table, it’s an ottoman, it’s a stool–”

Indeed. So you’re really saving money by buying this instead of the three other things, right? Regular lightbulbs work (and it can hold up to 500 lbs.!).

Made out of Roto molded plastic.
18 L x18 W x18 H

This is great! There are days I wish I had my scale on me, but with it’s unwieldy proportions (12 inches, to be exact), it doesn’t fit in my pocket. But this is a pen that’s also a fully functional scale.

Laser engraved aluminum and german components.

If you’re anything like me, you have some magazines that you plan on keeping for ever (Dwell, Wallpaper and Surface) while you have others that you flip through a couple times and then you recycle or give away(Met Home, Elle Decor). This nice little Bent-Plywood magazine rack will hold about the last 6 months of your “keepers”.

Who doesn’t need a bit of clever office organization? This porcupine will bring a bit of cheer to your desk and provide you with an easy way to spot your paperclips. Designed by Mika Kim and made by Alessi of PMMA plastic and magentic steel.

Made in Italy

This is something else. It’s made of lucite (polished edges) and comes with glass cups that hold four tapers. You actually assemble it and then it can fold back flat for storage. I bet it’s really nice when lit, and lends a special ambiance to whichever room you like.

Size: 12h x 10″w.

Sometimes it’s suprising what came out of the 70’s. Set of five different glasses which stack within each other.

If your breakfast nook or dining room needs a bit of something, like say, maybe a smokebush pendant light, then you’re lucky. ‘Cause here it is. It’s linen and it’s orange and it’s got a nice hand block printed design that spices up a room just a tad. Hard-wire installation.

Thanks to the designer Richard Sapper for making a timer that is quite pleasing to look at and easy to use.

How fun is this? The Groovetube is a translucent plastic box that suction cups to your t.v. screen. When your television’s on, with the Groovetube applied, you get a colorful abstraction. Liven up your parties or turn it on to cheer yourself up. I would.

I guess I have a thing for acrylic stuff. There’s also a larger, thinner frame for the same price (6″x8″).

Now hear this. You decide how this lamp looks. It comes to you flat, and then you bend it any which way you want in order to get the desired effect. How neat is that?

available in electric yellow, silver or white

Straight from Alexander Girard’s archives (and manufactured by maXimo), these pillows are sure to get good marks. Available in a white or natural background and quite a few different colors. Now you know.

Quite lovely, no? Made in Germany from Fine Bone China.

Why haven’t I seen these pillows before? I’m surprised I haven’t, ’cause they’re nice.

I believe that everyone should be fond of this pillow due to the owl, heart, and dove/bird. It’s printed on “super-soft” 100% linen.
