It's here. The Samsung Serif TV by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec is available to purchase. Are you going to put your name on the waitlist? I'm sure some of us are tempted, for the Bouroullec brothers have chosen to increase the depth of their flatscreen by adding a bottom and top shelf, thus creating more of an object at home amongst our things than a boring, thin, run-of-the-mill black box....Read more

These small wood vessels are intended for tabletop use, as their lids are carved to allow for a small sampling of spices. Their sides are also cut at an angle so that you may place them either at a vertical or horizontal position. Considering their size and placement option, I bet you could also find a use for them in the office or bathroom, for paperclips or bath salts perhaps?...Read more

Hey, we're out of the office today, so you just get one link. That means you have less to click through and more time to look out the window while you wait for your Friday workday to end. -Cartographic drawings by Tiffany Chung (shown above: DUBAI 2020, 2010) (via thinx) As usual, enjoy your weekend!...Read more

Well, here's a paper pad that makes me wish I had more notes to take. Each Ito Bindery Memo Block contains 350 tear-off sheets, and, with three modular sizes to choose from, you can combine or stack them as you wish. A recycled paperboard base gives stability and weight. Designer/Maker: Ito Bindery Material: Paper sheets and recycled paperboard Dimensions: 10.7 × 10.7 × 4.3 CM (S) 15 × 10.7 ×...Read more

Why, yes, we have featured the Tubelor Grande Trash Bin before (back in 2013). But the Rosewood version is new, and can we just take a moment to appreciate how pretty it is? A pretty trash can- you certainly don't see one of those everyday. The design of the bin is made up of two parts: a decorative outer lid and the inner liner which holds the plastic bag. The...Read more

Summer is right around the corner, which means you'll need cold drinks in good supply. Sempli's Incanter looks sort of fun, if you can get past the tipsiness that you might feel watching it spin around. Maybe you'll put fruits in the borosilicate glass infuser and then pour in a liquor, but I'd opt for water or lemonade because I'm not a boozehound (like you). There is something nice about...Read more

Small, turned, wooden magnets will only enhance those papers, notes, and tear-outs that create that elegant web of ideas you have, thus allowing that brain of yours to settle upon brilliant results previously unknown. These Standard Magnets are available from Fort Standard in a set of six and feature very strong rare-earth magnets, so they'll hold up all manner of things (keys, perhaps?) with no problem. Set of 6. Made...Read more

The above photo initially baffled me, as I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at. The honeycomb structure is what caused the confusion, as the Chikuno Cube is normally shown as a black, charcoal cube, and its honeycomb composition is not usually highlighted. If you're not familiar, the Chikuno Cube is made of activated bamboo charcoal and clay. The cube absorbs odors thanks to its tiny air pockets. To...Read more

Here's a nice lamp with a very affordable price tag. Inspired by origami, this lamp is constructed without any screws or glue. It's held together simply by its interlocking structure. Using minimal materials allows for a simple beauty that is also environmentally friendly- no small feat in this day and age, don't you think? This lamp ships from Hong Kong, fyi. Materials: Conqueror Bamboo paper, wood Power Plug: British standard...Read more

I'm sure we could play a quick guessing game as to what the above item might be, but let's jump to its purpose: it's a valet. A clothes valet, in case you are unaware, is usually a waist-high wooden stand of questionable aesthetic value that provides a hanging spot for oft-worn items that are wrinkle prone, like a favorite suit jacket. Now, this Jeeves Valet is functional, beautiful, and weird...Read more

Reduce a side table down to its essentials, and you'd get something similar to the Anodised Side Table by Max Lamb. Made with three sheets of aluminium plate (or aluminum, if you prefer) locked together with four countersunk socket bolts, the low table is left unfinished to highlight the material's "inherent beauty". There's a larger Anodised Coffee Table as well as a wonderful Cobalt and Gold color. Anodised Side Table,...Read more

I could have sworn we've featured the Third Eye Vessel by Chen Chen & Kai Williams before, but apparently I've been lusting after it for so long that its image is permanently embedded in my brain. It's a vessel for holding books and magazines, and it keeps objects stacked at right angles, so you can easily see the spines. You may think it's ridiculous to pay so much for such...Read more

Let's just get this straight: this lamp is $260*. Compared to the Love Letter Light (also by molo), which ran around the $400 mark, that's a bargain. Now, consider its marble base, which is actually a byproduct from the base for the Arco floor lamp designed by the Castiglioni brothers. Next, the little paper cap (“cappello” in Italian) is attached to the steel wire with a simple magnetic connection, which...Read more

How about a bike bell that looks like a clown's nose? It packs 80 decibels of three sound variations, so it will give plenty of oomph when you need to alert someone of your presence. Fasten it magnetically to your handlebar when you're riding and pop it off and put it in your bag or pocket when you're on foot. Designer: Odo Fioravanti...Read more
