You might have seen the flat version of this posted before, but this is the first time I've come accross this smaller/thinner version.

Simple and functional, yet different enough to be placed in the 'thinking-outside-the-box' category. I love that it leans against the wall, so that it can be moved easily to whatever room it might be needed in... Material: painted wood Size: 160 cm high...Read more

The Swag Leg Desk, designed all the way back in 1958, has found a new use with today's Laptop computers. Temporarily and virtually obsolete, the desk has been altered only slightly for today's needs to allow for cable management. "As with the original, the Swag Leg Desk comes ready to assemble to make shipping easy and economical." This desk, along with all other Herman Miller items, currently on sale....Read more

For those of you with a 30 second commute, I recommend the Offi Overlap Tray. Seriously, you don't just want to put your laptop on your lap for a few reasons, namely radiation and excessive heat to your body, but also for the safety of your laptop to allow for the fans to cool so it doesn't overheat the motherboard....Read more

Designed in 1960, these are constructed in a similar fashion to the Nelson lights, but I think I like these better because they aren't so iconic. Available in your choice of two sizes. Gatto; 22" h | 13.8" w | 60w max Gatto piccolo; 11.8" h | 7.5" w | 60w max...Read more

This would make a nice, simple hostess gift (with flowers, ofcourse) for any of the upcoming holiday parties you may have been invited to. It's a perfect way to show appreciation without breaking the bank. Pipe dreams. A length of parchment stoneware gives the impression of industrial concrete pipe, honed porcelain smooth and cool to the touch. • Soft matte grey with subtle specks of dark grey • High-fired stoneware...Read more

These are cute and cheap. Unfortunately, not available for purchase online but if you have an Ikea nearby, just pop on over and pick up a few....Read more

This is definitely a different way to show off some flowers. These "Ceremony Sticks" are made of Pyrex tubes and offer a unique way to have an arrangement with or without flowers. One can be placed within the other to have a mulit-layered effect....Read more

Here's a platter that certainly stands apart- all the subtle veining makes it look more like something you should put on the wall for display rather than run the risk of putting your party appetizers to shame. Ceramic. 21.25"x14.2"...Read more

More 'gothic' plates by Mr. Paul...just in case you'd like to add to the others (Gothic Side Plates posted previously). Dishwasher safe, not microwavable. Measures 11" in diameter. Set of 4....Read more

These trays/bowls are really something different. Sure, they're made of buttons and border on something that your grandmother would've made, but I think the craftmanship and size make it more special (as well as modern). "Ordinary buttons become extraordinary once they are stitched and knotted together to create these unique trays. These sturdy, yet pliable pieces are a versatile addition to any room."...Read more

I've always been slightly intrigued by this piece of technology but I find it a LOT more intriguing now that it's 25% off (temporarily). For those of you who haven't seen it yet, the MultiPot Personal Electric Charger serves as a charger for up to 5 portable devices, as a place to store all your charging cords and as an ambient LED light source. The Multipot can shine light for...Read more

Journals are a great gift because they tell the recipient "Hey, you have something important to say. Write it down." And you could just give someone a 99 cent spiral bound notebook but then it wouldn't really be a gesture. And maybe just having a journal that is well designed and thought out would encourage someone to write. And this journal is a good example of a well designed one....Read more
