It’s rare that we post a fruit bowl, but this one is well worth the space.

“Inspired by the art of origami, the Lorea fruit bowl is a simple design with great aesthetics. Three different finishes are available, each one contrasting elegantly with the fruit revealed between the folds of the wood.”

These would be a lovely gift if you’re the plan-in-advance type.

“A charming, delicately drawn birch tree graces a porcelain plate– a very green way to carve your initals into a tree. Makes a great gift for weddings and anniversaries.
Availability: Made to order, please allow 2-3 weeks for your order to arrive.”

Mug set consists of four 9 ounce mugs. Each mug is slightly different representing the four seasons.

Smart.

“restless, or uki hashi are chopsticks that don’t need a chopstick rest. because of their shape, the tips won’t touch the table when they’re set down. you’ll find comfort in their simple design.”

Reconnecting with childhood amazement is as simple as owning a glass that turns bright blue when you fill it up with cold water.

This might be a nod to traditional Chinese culture, but it could also be a very handy way of having sauces and such slightly separated from your main course.

‘An age-old tradition is revitalized with the contemporary form of the Bowls Plus series. In Chinese culture, it is impolite to finish everything that’s been served, as if to say, “thank you, you gave me more than enough!”. Bowls Plus caters to this tradition with an extra little section built right in where you can politely and conveniently store the leftovers.’

Set of 3 different bowls.

It’s apparently not cheap to have what must be the coolest tablecloth ever.

“using photogram technique, this tablecloth is decorated with the silhouettes of the aftermath of a dinner party. the shadows tell the story.”

This decorative addition to teatime is proof that even the smallest detail can be improved upon.

“Sometimes great design can change the way you look at objects themselves. These sugar handles transform a cup into a mug. Each box has a set of 16 handles and is sure to start a conversation next time you have friends over for tea or coffee.”

I love this stuff.

“Inspired by some of our favorite food containers, Lekker is pleased to introduce the “Daily Aesthetics” collection by Italian Design House Seletti.

Keeps the environment happy too.”

Imported from in Italy. Dishwasher safe.

A clever update to the regular glass of wine…

I’m a big fan of mixed dinnerware, especially since there are so many wonderful designs to choose from.

“Poketo invited Tokyo based artists, PCP and Ogi to design a double plate set. Collect them as a set or mix them up, they’ll definitely liven up your next dinner part. The plate sets come in beautiful handscreened boxes.

Plates are full color; 2 x 10 inch melamine plates; dishwasher safe; not microwave safe.

I believe I’ve seen a much more expensive version somewhere else…I like it much better at this price.

“Fool the eye wood grain flips from faux leather to solid brown PVC.”

Simple dinner plates with an unexpected design.

• Stoneware with a dipped matte white glaze

I like these- the two styles manage to compliment each other and make the regular ol’ drinking glass a little more interesting.

“Each glass is decorated with a vintage style goblet design, they’re the modern glasses with a vintage flair. Glasses measure 3″ in diameter and 6″ tall.”

Set of 4, dishwasher safe.

Sustainability is considered quite a bit nowadays, as it should be, and that’s why any recycled home goods certainly catch our eye when we happen upon them. These glasses are made from recycled bottle bases and have a traditional engraving that create a modern sense of nostalgia.

This set has such nice form; the handle of the pitcher lends a subtle modern feel. It would be an excellent housewarming/wedding gift…

“Like its namesake ‘kotori’ is Japanese for ‘small bird’ this sprightly porcelain sake pitcher stands watch over five small cups. The set, designed by Finland’s Tomi Pelkonen, rests on a thick oak serving tray. SFMOMA exclusive.”
