Meet The Dyson Airblade
Foozoo Design blog has a nice article on the features of the Dyson Airblade. I’m not sure if the writers of this blog has used one of these yet, but my boss, in his deep love of cool products, has purchased one of these for our office, and my verdict is: I love [...]

bloombaby fresco loft
I’m playing catch-up, so expect a lot of short posts. I saw this product at this years ICFF, and I didn’t want to forget it. It’s the most stylish baby chair I’ve ever seen. The baby chair, besides looking beautiful, grows with your child. S0, it’s not a quick throw-away piece.bloombaby
BKLYN Designs: uhuru
uhuru, to me, may have been the most impressive furniture designers I saw at BKLYN Designs in terms of their creative reuse of industrial products. For example: the Stave Bench and the Bilge Lounge reuse whiskey barrels from the finest white oak. These barells are charred and used only once in the barreling process then [...]
BKLYN Designs: Produce Redefines the Kitchen
I’ve been thinking about how to create a fresh approach in my own kitchen recently, so it’s no surprise that I was extremely excited to see the work of Produce to get some inspiration of what my kitchen could be. Their work, as shown in their pot and knife rack, wall bins, and wine rack [...]
Phonofone II by Science + Sons

This mechanism uses passive horn acoustics to amplify you [...]
The Ooba Bassinet Makes Me Want to Make Babies
One thing I’ve been seriously wanting to do is give a shout out for my awesome sponsor, 2Modern.com. They are my dream sponsor because it is so easy and fun to talk about their products and mean every word I say. So today, I dip into the bag of 2Modern goodies to find some serious [...]
Samsonite Black Label Vintage Collection
I sometimes cover luggage. I’m just attracted to the architectural quality I guess. Ever since I covered a $20,000 suitcase designed by Frog Design as one of my very first posts, I’ve been on the hunt for the next ultimate case. This is not it. However, for $600 it is a darn good alternative. The [...]
The Leaf Lamp by Yves Behar: Fabulous or Flimsy?
ID Magazine has recently come out with their 53rd Annual Design Review where they award a number of products and project top honors for design. They have named top honors in the consumer products division to the Leaf lamp by Yves Behar. I’ve been tempted to write about this product for a while now, but [...]
The Sleeping Light by Andi Kovel
If I feature two bird lamps on the site, does that make it a trend? Probably not, but I like bird lights, so there you are. The first one I featured was several months ago. It was called the Pigeon Light, and it was made by Qubus. It’s made in plastic, and I’ve seen it [...]
The Hanger Chair by Pottinger and Cole
The Hanger Chair by Pottinger and Cole is an elegant solution to the problem of saving space in an apartment. No, the chair doesn’t fold up. It hangs up high and out of the way. Pottinger and Cole have ingeniously integrated a coat hanger into the chair back allowing the user of the chair to [...]
Aluminum Desk Chair by Piet Hein Eek
Piet Hein Eek is not just a noise you make when you’re choking. It’s also a very adept design firm in the Netherlands. I chose this chair to be on design crack because it transported me to another time. Grade school, in fact, is where this chair took me. It’s hard to put my finger [...]
Pandora and Egg by HE and Marcel Wanders
There are a bunch of products I’ve featured by Marcel Wanders in the past. There’s the Microwave with the TV in the door. Then there was the City System Shelving for Mooi. All, beautiful stuff. But this is the first design that I could actually use in my home and could afford to buy. Well [...]
