Dimensions: 5" x 5" cocktail napkin...Read more

The world of above ground rainwater storage needs help. No matter how practical they are, most designs are eyesores and run the risk of upsetting your neighbors. However important that may or may not be, it's worth noting that there's definitely room for improvement. This tank is perhaps not the prettiest (nor the least expensive), but it is a heck of a lot better to look at than most, and...Read more

Stepladders usually hide out in our broom closets and garages, but this guy is a different breed altogether. With a simple, clean-lined frame and super high-gloss wood, it begs to be noticed. An indent at the top of the frame and accompanying lacquered peg means it can be hung on whatever wall you deem appropriate, though considering the price tag I'd recommend the closet rather than the garage. (Also, be...Read more

This dining chair catches the eye, doesn't it? It almost appears to be a lounge chair because of its high back, but rest assured that the seat matches the standard dining height. Made from solid beech, the J110 chair is part of Hay's 2011 relaunch of the Danish furniture classics originally made for FDB, the Danish Consumers’ Co-operative Society. J110 chair, $345.00 (Size: Depth 60 cm, width 53 cm, seat...Read more

Do you know what Kosketin means? You'll probably guess it has something to do with a keyboard, and you'll be right*. I thought it sounded more like a medicine brand name than anything, but what do I know? The Kosketin carpet is constructed of paper yarn and cotton. Design: Maija Louekari Manufacturer: Forme Size: 28.3" x 78.3" Material: Weft cotton and paper yarn, warp cotton. *According to Wiktionary, kosketin is...Read more

So smart. This whisk by Ding3000 can be folded together to save space in your kitchen drawer. A small ring serves as the opening and closing mechanism and can be used to hang the whisk as well. Looks like it would be easy to clean (it's nylon), and, if that's not enough for you, check out all the colors available: white, grey, light blue, nude, lavender, pink, mint and dark...Read more

Call me crazy, but I like the birch version of this tray so much more than the white. Thankfully, the tray is much less than the Cross and Crux blankets, so there's hope of adding it to one's home decor sooner rather than later. There's also a smaller size (31 cm) for 250kr, which works out to be around $37. The tray is built in 16 layers of birch with...Read more

Because this table is made from scrapwood, each is one-of-a-kind. There's also a non-scrapwood teak version (pictured below), but you'd do well to consider the more interesting scrap version, as Mr. Eek is known for that sort of thing (remember the Scrapwood Wallpaper?). If you're not familiar with his work, check out the full collection on his website: Piet Hein Eek. Teak or Teak Scrapwood 3.9' - 47.25" L x...Read more

Taking inspiration from traditional manila envelopes, this polyurethane iPad case has a string and button closure. The contrasting color string is an especially nice yet subtle touch- my favorite is the grey case with orange string. The case fits iPad 1 and iPad 2, as well as the iPad Smart Cover. Available in grey, red, and black. Polyurethane. 10 x 8.5”³ (25.4 x 21.6 cm). Button and string envelope closure....Read more

Salad servers are one of those things that get overlooked, unless you did (or are doing) the whole gift registry thing for your wedding/celebration/housewarming/etc. Personally, I don't think I've ever owned a specific pair of salad servers (the shame!) and running across these three options, I might just decide to remedy the situation. See below for details on each set. Krenit Salad Servers by Herbert Krenchel, $25.00 (or $30.00 at...Read more

Charming online shop located in the UK: OBJECTS of USE Invisible bridge by Dutch architects Ro and Ad (via Magpie Diaries) Anyone know about this book? As in, who made it? Noa's Calendar on sale for $22.50 (from $45, mind you) at KIOSK. Child' s Own Studio makes custom softie toys/dolls based on children's drawings. They're pretty wonderful.

Expletive! This Envelope Chest is so very clever for its appropriation of the classic string-and-button envelope closure. It has custom leather rounds and cord (instead of paper and string) and has soft close hinges. Be sure to take a look at the other pieces in Field Day's collection: Shingles Pantry and the Vault Dresser. Materials: Leather, Maple Finish: Satin Lacquer Dimensions: Width: 40" Height: 20" Depth: 20"...Read more

If you're crazy about tea, as in crazy enough to want a specific travel thermos with an inbuilt stainless steel infuser, then you'll go bonkers over this glass and bamboo version. It's double-paned, of course, to keep your fingers protected and your tea hot or cold, depending on your preference. And, speaking as a crazy tea person, there is something nice about glass carafe rather than stainless steel- just don't...Read more

Designer Mika Barr has released her first collection in a series named Geo, a pattern derived from the world of Origami paper-folding. Pretty terrific, don't you think? So terrific it might require begging/purchasing of luggage space from the next European traveler to the states. Or paying extra for international shipping, of course. Designer: Mika Barr for Talents Design Measurements: S – 50 x 50cm, M – 60 x 60 cm,...Read more
