These are quirky, and I mean that in a good way. They're USB memory sticks, encased in sticks that you could basically find in the woods. I like the way they contrast so decidedly against the hardware. They'd certainly be a nice gift for someone who would appreciate the irony (they come in a nice gift box too)... USB memory sticks are always nice to have around when transferring files...Read more

It seems to me that we would've posted this before, though I can't seem to find any record of it. And if we have, I think it's well worth another entry. It's such a great design and so terribly great-looking as to inspire need (as in, I need that piece of furniture). And, of course, it's by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Cappellini (2004). "the cloud shelving system...has garnered much...Read more

Kartell products are on sale through Midnight May 14th at highbrowfurniture.com. I especially like the Trix, which can be configured as an ottoman, a chair, a lounge or a bed. How versatile! "Trix is composed of three cushions of different sizes linked by an elegant system of rubber bands. With a simple rotating movement, they can be transformed and used in different ways.

Telling the time can be an exercise in decoding with this clock. As the minute hand intersects with the words, the hour is apparent. 12" diam. Aluminium & Glass...Read more

This might be my favorite thing ever in the entire world, or at least close to it. "What we know as a doorbell is a square box that strangely enough says nothing about what a doorbell really is: an appliance consisting of an electromagnet, a hammer and two sound sources. In this design by Peter van der Jagt, crystal glasses make a crystal clear sound, announcing guests with a musical...Read more

This is a pretty smart design, and it would certainly impress your guests...Imagine pulling it out of the closet, setting it down, adjusting, and then saying, "Ta-da!". I think I wouldn't mind it as an everyday bed either, as it has a casual/edgy look about it. "The itbed is made from 7 mm thick cardboard that is folded like an accordion. In one step the itbed can be collapsed into...Read more

Philippe Starck's name is synonomous with design, at least to the general public, and I think this chair is a good example of why...reducing the chair form down to it's simplest outline is so obvious that it is suprising it's not been done before, yet reassuring that someone's thought to do it. (Obvious in a good way, by the way.) Materials: Brushed, powdercoated or polished aluminum Finish Options: brushed, polished,...Read more
