Hmm. A pillow shaped light, but take note that it's not an actual pillow (if the metal frame is anything to go by). Linas Kutavicius' Light Pillow is all about warmth and softness. This pillow shaped light can be placed on the floor (or bed), hung on the wall or used as a chandelier. Any way you use it, you're sure to have a unique lamp. Removable cover - easy...Read more

The owners of Bakoko Design and Development recently undertook remodeling their post-war Japanese apartment down to painstaking detail. Walls were removed to create more of an open living plan and little gems of usability are hidden throughout the apartment. My favorite is the shock of pink on the walls hidden in the work compartment. I also really like the small vanity seen here. [posted by kris]...Read more

I'm a big fan of the juxtaposition between old and new, and as such I've been considering a ceiling medallion for my home. I was thinking I could go with an old medallion with a new lighting fixture as seen on the left, or go with an entirely modern medallion, as seen on the right. What I really like about the photo on the left is that the light fixture...Read more

Whilst unashamedly modern, It's flowing surfaces lead the eye on an easy journey into...Read more

How about this 'urban' bedding from CB2? Like it or not? I'm leaning towards 'like'. Overscaled cityscape draws a fine line, radiating a modern urban universe. Original carbon drawing printed on super white, super soft 300-thread-count all-cotton percale. Duvet with hidden button closures reverses to solid white. Shams meet in a graphic semi-sphere on one side, reverse to solid white on the other; clean envelope closure. Full/Queen Duvet Cover, $79.95...Read more

The ubiquitous spork strikes again. It might be slightly uncouth, but it's certainly handy to have in certain situations. These eating tools have a spoon on one end, and feature a four-tine fork and knife -- with a sawtooth blade -- on the other. Super lightweight and extremely durable, they're ideal for back packing, picnicking, lunchbox, briefcase or boat. Made of a heat-resistant (won't melt in boiling water) polycarbonate material,...Read more

I'm a little amazed I haven't posted these before, as it was one the best things at the 2007 ICFF. What's incredibly frustrating is I remember finding a direct retailer some time ago, but now I can't remember where...if you know, please include link in comments or email me. The 22 is a complete suite of electrical wall accessories that challenges the traditional, tired and ubiquitous cover plate concept. Power...Read more

Seeing as the rectangle version is no longer available, you might want to snap up the round version quick if it's your sort of thing.

Eye-catching, it appears to be only the...Read more
