This clever little doorstop has asymmetrical ends in order to fit varying gaps between doors and floors. Its depth is also shallow enough that you won't stub your toe or trip over it. Smart. Sold in a set of 2....Read more

What's this, you say? Well, it's a nativity by Valerie Atkisson. Two flat pieces of steel connect in the middle to create the silhouette of the traditional story. Are you more excited about the fact that it is available in gold or that it stores flat? (Me: stores flat!) Gold, $280.00 Rhodium, $250.00 Oiled Bronze, $200.00 (note: I think I like this one the most) Satin Nickel, $180.00 Stainless Steel,...Read more

This neat little attic renovation is something to earmark. Harold Kyle and Debbie Urbanski, (who run Boxcar Press by the way) found Jonathan Lott, a partner in the firm PARA-Project, to renovate the 450 square feet located under their house's pitched roof. The huge window added at the rear of the house and careful positioning of furniture and a few skylights make the relatively small area seem quite spacious. Check...Read more

For his series of Facet Lamps, designer Brendan Ravenhill drew inspiration from industrial light fixtures. Cleverly though, he forgoes manufacturing processes such as spun metal or ceramics that are traditionally used to create these lamps, and utilized an array of cut and bent sheet metal, creating a geometric pattern that is uniquely modern, yet still evokes the spirit of the original industrial shades. I don't know if the light shining...Read more

If you still prefer the pen/pencil writing method rather than the clickity clack of keyboard strokes, take a look at this beauty. The case is crafted from Bavarian cowhide and comes complete with a lovely assortment of writing tools (see below) that will no doubt add ceremony and purpose to your works. Also, if you already have your own tools, the case is available on its own without contents for...Read more

I'm steadily making my way through featuring the various new lamps from Blu Dot's collection, and I have to say I'm mightily impressed with the offerings. This Watt Table and Floor lamp are weirdly futuristic, but in an entirely good way. The steel panels angled together look like some child's drawing of an alien ship, or a gross exaggeration of a pixellated spider with only 5 legs. Or a simple...Read more

Check out these new pillows from De La Espada. Sure, they're quiet in terms of color and pattern, but sometimes you need that in a room, especially if you have other pieces that tend to overwhelm. Personally, I'm pretty taken with the Chicken Wire Cushion ($180.00) because of the pattern and slightly undercover country vibe. Small Jax Cushion ($145.00) shown on left. Connect 4 Cushion $180.00, Big Jax Cushion $145.00...Read more

Fans of chess can now draw up their own chess board wherever they want, thanks to this Chalk Chess set by SUCK UK. Each piece is regulation sized, though obviously once you draw enough boards, your pieces will change slightly as you use them (but that won't matter, will it?). Also available through SUCK UK's shop for £10.00 and Useful Thingsfor $19.95...Read more

Right now it's raining here in London (cold, windy, etc.) and on the streets just below my window I've seen two people so far that are trying to keep soggy newspapers above their heads in hopes of keeping some part of themselves dry. More than several are without any protection whatsoever, and the elements have soaked them through and through. Now, silly them, if only they had something like this...Read more

Not that I know much about canes, but these appear to be the best looking ones that I've ever seen. Omhu is a newish company aiming to provide well designed objects for those that need help with simple tasks such as walking, bathing, or reaching overhead. Omhu (om-who) is Danish for "with great care", and the company takes their inspiration from Scandinavian furniture, bicycles and skateboards. The cane you see...Read more
