Pursebuckle: A Small Fanny Pack
I’m sorry, but when I first set eyes on the pursebuckle (Get it. It’s a purse and a belt buckle) I immediately thought back to one of my coworkers who still wears a fanny pack. He’s married, so he’s not too worried about attracting the ladies… which he would never do wearing a [...]
Vase by Francois Azambourg for Cappellini
Francois Azambourg has designed a piece of pottery that rivals the paintings of Joan Miro. Add a bit of bowling pin aesthetic to the miro-esque scene, and you have this vase.
N-7 Table by Casamania
N-7 is another beautifully built table that takes on the current trend of what I call origami or faceted design. Where did this trend start? I seem to recall a modern building in Hong Kong built about twenty years ago that sort of kicked off this trend in my mind. Since then, I’ve seen so [...]

Doo The Dishes by French Paper
I got a tip from a company called French Paper. They alerted me to their beutiful wood prints that they make, but I’m enamoured with their Doo the Dishes collection of sexy silhouettes printed on plates and backed by a touch of baroque sensibility. It’s rare that I’ve fantisized about a silhouette much [...]
Snurkengoed Bedding: The Perfect Bedding for the Average American

Stack by Shay Alaklay and Raw Edges for Established & Sons
I remember back in college the first time I ever saw a Rem Koolhaas house. I cannot remember the name of the house, now, but it was built for a wheelchair bound man and his wife. The house seemed simple enough at first glance, but it always seemed odd to me. Much later, I realized [...]
