Why yes, that is one Big Ass Fan. There's no doubt in my mind it packs a punch in air circulation, because it's huuuge. 12 feet diameter huge. While most of the pictures of these fans are shown in large retail spaces, I thought this shot of Wayne Coyne's (of the Flaming Lips) living room really gives you the correct sense of proportion. Now, whether you need something this big...Read more

When you need to check your 'do and there's no mirror around, this little pocket mirror could be just the thing to have in your wallet. Sort of brings to mind the whole comb-in-the-back-pocket sort of look, which could be a good or bad connotation depending on your preference.

I usually use our tumblr account to bookmark interior images, and because we've been crazy busy with the site remodel, I've been a bit remiss about occasionally posting some of the ones that stand out the most. Today I finally got a chance to go through some of my rss feeds, and found this image over at kbculture. I think it's a pretty perfect example of how minimal design can...Read more

I particularly like how the wood will give an extra element of texture to a room. Designer: Jonas Damon Material: Plywood 16 x 16 x 12 inches...Read more

These dvds are intended for a baby's developing mind and vision, though if you take a look, you might find your very own self attracted to the black and white animations and accompanying music. Basic shapes move slowly and methodically while maintaining a sense of playfulness that borders between entertainment and meditation, which seems an unlikely sort of mix, but there you go. If you've got a little one, it...Read more
