Description

There's really no more scintillating dinner conversation than psychoanalytic readings of guests' responses to your dinnerware. I find these work best when you don't warn your guests what's underneath their food.

MARILYN lamp

Updated Apr 14, 2008

Description

Did you think Marilyn Monroe had a glowing inner beauty? This lamp conveys the idea with just the amount of camp that should accompany the sentiment. (via laurasweet)

Huge Bowl, by Cake

Updated Apr 11, 2008

Description

As much minimalist sculpture as fruit bowl, this Huge Bowl by Brooklyn designer Cake rethinks the conventional form. When your fruit dies, this piece looks pretty good on a surface by itself.

Cork Underlay Ladder

Updated Apr 2, 2008

Description

The Trivet is an underappreciated piece of kitchenware. Great for safely resting hot pots on the dining table, trivets are often more difficult to fit into a tight space than they are worth. This smart cork version addresses the issue with grace. (via Treehugger)

Pyreness Wood Block 100 Matches

Updated Apr 2, 2008

Description

Most of use matches so seldom these days that the price of this wood block is worth the enjoyment of its sculptural quality, gently chipped away every time you return to more mundane topics like lighting the pilot light.

Birds of Feather Plates

Updated Apr 1, 2008

Description

There's no use going on about rural poverty fetish, but let's just say this plate has a subtle, homely charm. The cut/paste feel of the imagery gives it a further detachment so lonesome you'll want to cover it with something fried in a skillet.

Copilcus piggybank

Updated Mar 28, 2008

Description

The Art Lebedev design studio has a masterful grip on understated design, and this Copilcus Piggybank is a nice example. A clever tagline like "'Plus' savings are far better than 'minus' savings" adds a nice touch.

Dot Table Lamp

Updated Mar 27, 2008

Description

The Dot Table Lamp from wis design presents a smart, understated desk lamp with a fashionable touch. An exaggerated pearl necklace, made with tactile rubber, falls and clumps onto the base. The piece is just a concept, developed for Lampister, so keep your fingers crossed.

What sushi presentation wouldn't be enhanced by a soy sauce dispenser humorously rendered as a bird. The lotus-themed bowl and dish set add a subtle touch of spring detail.

12 to 3 Wall Clock

Updated Mar 24, 2008

Description

This clock speaks to a specific side of me that freelanced for years on a schedule of 12:00 to 3:00 pm. You know the rest of the clock is out there; you just don't pay that much attention to it.

Bodum Columbia Stainless French Press

Updated Mar 24, 2008

Description

For any one who regularly uses a Bodum French press--likely the Chambord or Brazil models--the Columbia model looks and feels like a step up. Stainless steel, mixed with a vessel that looks and performs like a carafe, makes the item feel less like something that belongs in a cafe and more like a sophisticated piece of kitchenware.

Jason Miller Seconds Dinner Plates

Updated Mar 18, 2008

Description

Playing on the concept of the imperfect product, these Seconds dinner plates use misprinting as a design concept. Perfectly suited a post-modern world, the plates create a kind of order out of what initially looks like a jumbled mess. (via BLTD)

Updated Mar 12, 2008

Description

Ideal for kids who love puns and evocative imagery (what kid doesn't), these Jane Jenni plates present simple and fun visual games that can best be viewed when the food on the plate is finished. To think that I used to go to my uncle's collection of Lucky Lager bottle caps for this type of thing.

shopmodi - crushed cup

Updated Mar 7, 2008

Description

My wife got me these cups for my birthday a couple years ago and they are one of my favorite kitchen items. Everyone who uses them remarks at how visually interesting they are and how cool they feel in the hand. Just get the larger size, as the small is too small for anything but sipping.

Animal Shot Glasses By Goody Grams

Updated Feb 6, 2008

Description

Each of these visually striking shot glasses will balance with the interior facing up and the animal's head facing down, but they clearly look more appealing when they are set upside-down, with the animal head right-side-up. So, they are great for display in your cupboard or, better yet, slammed upside-down after a shot for full effect. (via laurasweet)
