Floating - Large

First to recommend

Description

While this item's name is rather enigmatic, it is a beautiful piece that could be a vase or a habitat for a small fish or two. It's also lovely as a piece of sculpture.

It's a candidate for inclusion in my "home of the furture"!

It is from a Swedish company called PID (Personal Interior Design). (via PID)

Generate Design | 108 Time Box by Owen & Cloud

2 people recommended this item

Description

I like the fact that this calendar lasts for nine years (108 months) using a different type design for each year.

Unfortunately, if you buy it now, you're already three years into the nine available.

However, for the graphic geek in your life, it could still be the perfect thing! (via generate)
