Zo-Loft Din-ink




If you associate the affordable and ubiquitous ‘Bic pen’ with disposable, throw away office culture – think again, as Zo-loft design has added a whole new dimension to desktop utility. Their “Din-ink” series of Bic pen style tops allows you to instantly convert your writing tools into ready made cutlery. With one easy step that trusty chewed-up pen of yours can become a sleek spoon, fork, or knife for that classic dining ‘al desko’ experience.

Cup Speakers










In the book “Remake it home” I saw the image of these speakers by Dmitry Zagga... I had to try to make them of course...

Basically you construct iPhone speakers from four paper cups and two toothpicks. They look amazing... the sound... well...

I ❤ the Casserole I make my stews in ...




SIZE: 3 qt
COLOR: Cast Iron/Wood
Design: Timo Sarpaneva 1960
The Sarpaneva pot is a combination of tradition, functionalism and polished aesthetics. It is a basic object for the home that you can lift from the stove straight to the table. Its distinguishing innovative feature is the detachable wooden handle you use to open the lid and lift the pot. The excellent qualities of the enameled cast-iron pot on the stove, in the oven and when serving, complete perhaps the most beautiful cast-iron pot in the world. Made in Finland by iittala.

Friends With You



Magical spiritual powers are not the only talents Miami-based art collaborative FriendsWithYou can claim as theirs. They also have a special skill for creating cuddly, cute and somewhat clever toys, events, experiences and other playthings for us mere mortals. We would never imply that their Fun Houses and other entertainment are just for kids because if they were, we’d be too envious to be

nice.

This past summer, the FriendsWithYou duo – Sam Borkson and Arturo “Tury” Sandoval III – participated in the Hexagone (A hex is gone) group art show in Miami curated by Jose Mertz. The FriendsWithYou playroom was filled with gigantic inflated buddies and called Wish World. Miami-born artist Bhakti Baxter created a fantastic mural for the space.



BlueLounge CableDrops




CableDrop

Fixed behind or on the desktop, even onto a facing wall ...

Anywhere in fact where you wish to have cables temporarily held yet easily removeable or extended. CableDrop gently grasps your power and peripheral cords so they do not fall off your desk every time you unplug your laptop.


Multi-purpose Cable Clips

Cabledrop’s unique design makes cable management fun and can also be used as a general purpose clip in a multitude of creative ways.


Perfect In Any Environment

Cabledrop can really blend in with your decor, use them hidden under ledges with the muted colors to match your furniture or bring them to light by using the bright ones. Beyond just preventing cables from falling off a desk, they make great cable clips on furniture legs or walls to control unruly cords.
