Here's a relatively simple idea executed well: a removable felt wrap protects the table's surface from feet, drinks, laptops, etc. The handier among us might replicate this idea on our own coffee tables, but don't discount the table under the smart felt idea just yet. It's solid walnut with nicely curved TIG-welded steel legs, so it'll stand the test of time while easily living up to its name. Solid walnut...Read more

For those of us that rely on our mobile phones for most, if not all, of our calls, a wireless handset is worth consideration. I recently received a sample of the Curve BT iDock to try out, and despite my reservations of adding yet another item to my desktop, I'm actually pleased with its look, feel, and function. At times our mobile phones can be a little awkward to hold,...Read more

October the 1st already! And do you have your 2013 calendar yet? If not, you risk being annoyed by those self-satisfied got-it-all-together types smirking at you as they note 2013 dates down in the appropriate spots, and wondering just when you'll get your act together. What they don't know is that you couldn't care less. So there. 365 days of the year, on tissue-thin paper, for hanging or laying flat...Read more

Brilliant! Now your conference table can also be a ping-pong table, thus saving space and encouraging 'fun' breaks for you and your team. The central panel either functions as the ping-pong net support or as a hide-away cable management, while drawers at either end house all the ping-pong (or meeting) supplies. How is this not a good idea? Powder-coated White tubular steel construction Includes ping-pong paddles, net, and balls oh...Read more

Every single case is made in the US from recycled materials that are sourced locally. There's also a ReFleece Kindle Cover ($25,...Read more

Do you want a large chandelier? Are you looking to spend around $2,000? If you are nodding your head to both of those questions, please do take a look at this Cord Chandelier from Brendan Ravenhill. It's a tensegrity structure (full definition here), which, in this case, roughly means the constant tension of the arms and electrical wires allow for the radiating design. Custom sizing is also available, with a...Read more

Clunky batteries, impractical, and just plain ugly are words that come to mind when the words "electric bicycle" come up. However, as urban bicycle ridership increases, bicycle manufacturers such as new start-up Farady are addressing these issues. Their flagship bicycle, the Porteur, is their first offering. It starts with a US-made steel frame with time-tested geometry. Safety and practicality are built-in with a removable front rack, integrated lights, wood fenders,...Read more

If you have kids, or are friends with people who have kids, you know those kids grow like weeds. What better gift to give them than a Ruler for Measuring the Growth of Human Beings?

These utensils accompany the WASARA tableware collection, and, similarly, are intended for single-use occasions (think picnics, parties, etc.). Each one securely attaches to the edge of a WASARA...Read more
