Perhaps you're a little tired of wall decals, and believe me, I understand, but take just a moment to check out this one by Camila León. It's just the right size; it would look similar to wallpaper in smaller room (say, a powder room), and on a larger wall it would be more of an art focal point. It's a limited edition (50-piece), so if you're into it, you better...Read more

Another Kickstarter project to feast your eyes upon: the Red Pop is an accessory that adds a big, red button to the iPhone so you can take photos easier. Instead of tapping around on the iPhone's screen, the Red Pop's button brings back a little of the old camera feel, giving you a firm grip on the phone as well as less down time between photos. The goal has been...Read more

This is such a smart bag. It's a backpack and duffle that's super simple in visual design.

Imagine the ease of taking this on a plane journey; others will no doubt...Read more

I seriously like Kickstarter. There's quite a few smart product ideas looking to get a little support, and it sure doesn't take much money to help out. Case in point, these Wallplates by Justin Porcano. I'd say they're an improvement on Paul Koh's Toggle and Rocker Key Switch in that the hook (and/or envelope) function is located to the side instead of above the actual switch. Pledge $15 or more...Read more

These glasses would be excellent to have at your next dinner party, wouldn't they? The graphics are musical notations for the correct level of liquid to produce the perfect pitch when a user runs their finger along the rim of the glass. As the price is for a set of 2, you'll need to shell out a fair amount of dough to get a complete octave. Comes as a set...Read more

I sat down with my friend Sebastian Kaufmann to talk about his store, Kaufmann Mercantile, his philosophy behind choosing products, and the theme that we are constantly reminded of in our daily lives, the virtue of choosing well made over disposable. Kaufmann, born in Frankfurt, Germany, approaches the store with exacting high standards that are present in everything in the store: Timeless. Classic. Durable. As as supplement to the store,...Read more

Box includes 4 small red candles and 4 matches. Dimension: 1.25 in. L x 2...Read more
