Graycart Irregular Scrap Light

First to recommend

Description

A less perfect form than Graycart's Disc from its Scrap Lights collection, this irregular piece, like it sounds, comes with the unique, handcrafted feel that you would expect from a piece made out of salvaged cardboard. The diffusing shade offers a nice extra touch of casting a compelling light pattern on surrounding walls.

Electronic Calculator M

First to recommend

Description

It's the little things in life--broken shoelaces, parking tickets, hangnails--that eventually make you go crazy. I like the think the inverse is also true, and that mundane elements of life rendered artfully can keep you feeling sane. This clean and simple calculator, designed by Naoto Fukasawa, seems to have just that kind of calming effect.
