This has to have been done before somewhere by someone. A paper pad mousepad doesn't take a lot to put together, after all. However, to be fair (and slightly contradictory) I am a fan of Rhodia notepads, so it's awfully tempting to snap one of these up for myself. The lovely grid pad combined with the appropriately sized mousepad makes one less thing on the workspace surface (and that's never...Read more

Watch out, because these two items are kind of adorable. A grizzly bear bean bag? Log pillows with a baby propped out as a little beaver? How can anyone resist such tactics? If you look at the close-up pics on these items (not shown), you can see that the graphics are knitted instead of printed, which ratchets the quality up a notch (in my opinion). Big Sleeping Grizzly Bear Bean...Read more

For those of you that don't care, you'll be glad to know the price is still just as right for your seating needs.

Just think of how many corners and spaces this little guy could go. Mirrors are always an excellent way to reflect light around a space, making it seem bigger and brighter. Imagine the fun of putting several of these in a dark hallway or corner and seeing the light bounce around in unexpected ways. The reflect mirror with its 90 degree angle can be used as a tray to place...Read more

Oh, how this would kick-start the very large 'to-do' of getting all the shoes sorted and organized...the only caveat is available wall space in the dressing area (if you have it, you're a lucky duck, if not, I sympathize with you). by j-me Dimensions: H 40.3 x W 15 x D 19 cm Also available: Nest Floor Shoe Rack, £ 95.00, Buy it here....Read more

Just how fun is this kitchen island covered in Lego? Pretty fantastic idea. Munchausen, a duo formed by Parisian designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti, took a bold approach with their own kitchen by venturing to IKEA for the basic kitchen island and then spending the next week covering it with more than 20,000 pieces by another Scandinavian brand, Lego. -The Cool Hunter...Read more

Shazam! Check out this snazzy seating option from the lovely Ms. Uroquiola. While perhaps the thinner cushioning seems to be more fit for an office or reception area sofa than a jump/sink/settle-in-to-watch-a-movie-type sofa, the lines and style are spectacular. Hollow is a modular compact seating collection for reception, lounge and meeting applications. The concave plastic panels enhance the appearance of the lightness and give the collection its name. Numerous variations...Read more

I love this so much it hurts my feelings. It's still currently in prototype, but frankly I've been bored with all the available options for shelving so I wanted to post something a little more exciting. From a Tokyo based design firm called MicroWorks--the designers discovered that books tilted at a 4 degree angle don't accumulate dust as quickly as books which are stored flat. Whatever the reason for the...Read more
