Fail Bench: Furniture to Make You Insecure
I saw this bench, and it immediately spawned a thought about dieting and weight loss. I’m getting fatter. I’m not feeling like a real chunky, but I’m slowly creeping up from a slender 190 lbs. (I’m 6′-4" BTW) to something more than this, let’s say. I think the name is interesting because my [...]
White Fruit Radio: Uber Wabi Sabi
I’m sorry. I really don’t know what wabi sabi means. I just hear my boss use this term when referring to elegant and refined architecture that brings in a bit of nature into the design. That’s kind of what this radio does. The radio has no knobs or cluttery gizmos sticking out. The [...]
Deer Socket: nature meets electronic devices
The Deer Socket is an innovation that I feel really pushes the boundaries of smart design. Why? First, the design says to me: "I’m unashamedly trendy". For example, deer antlers in the design world: you just can’t get away from them. But nearly all of the antlers on the market are in the [...]
The Doorknob Lightbulb: A Bright Idea found at Core 77
I’m just in a cranky mood today. I saw this product a few minutes ago, and it made me think of the years of stupidity we’ve seen in American design today. Not this design, but the lack of doorknob innovation. See, I like this design. It immediately makes me think of something I’ve [...]
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 [...]
F2 by Ligne Roset
When you live in a small home like I do you know that every inch counts. The F2 folding table by Ligne Roset is sleek and simple. It’s worthy of my dinner. And if I want to turn my small kitchen/dining room into a dance floor, I now do not have to struggle to find [...]
Vessel/Architectural Pottery Beauty in Simplicity
Let’s face it, we all want to make an extra buck. But it makes it so much more simple for me to sell goods when the goods are just so… good. Today, I’m exploring feelmorehuman.com’s collection of Vessel’s Architectural Pottery re-issues from San Diego. The pieces are a higher plane of lovely. Most ceramic vessels [...]
Bench by Modern Outdoor
Etra Small Bench
I’ve been looking for decent modern outdoor furniture for quite some time now. Outside of Europe, quite frankly, there is very little choice when it comes to where you sit on an aesthetically modern surface. Modern Outdoor gives me choices. And they give me choices like this beautiful bench above that are green [...]
Konzuk Earings
Years ago, I reported on Konzuk, and now they are just getting better and better. Think minimalist concrete and steel perfection not for your building but for your ear. You will like this if you are a Miesian stylist.

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 [...]
Tea Handkerchief by Miho Kaneko
Having tea time is a world-wide tradition that, at times, cannot be easily performed because of the unavailability of fine china. One way to circumvent this shortcoming is to print the china ona piece of linen and do away with needing plateware.

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 [...]
