Old women and sticks umbrella
1 recommendation
"‘Old women and sticks’ are quaint Welsh alternatives to the much better known (although no more rational) meteorological ‘cats and dogs’. This umbrella by Um… inspired by the Welsh saying is edged with a tangle of delightfully rickety old ladies and their various walking aids. The umbrellas come with a complementary second layer, an automatic push button and grippable curved handle. A creativel..."

Mobile Kitchen
1 recommendation
"I'm really getting into these "mobile" rooms, apartments, objects, etc. "Simplicity" is the word that comes to mind. When closed the cabinets look like ordinary cabinets, but when opened - TA DA - complete kitchen. The kitchen design workshop layout is comprised of three main elements: a "workbench" housing the sink and cooker, "tool cabinet" for utensils, crockery and food, and "appliance cabinet..."
4 Story Residential Space Saver
1 recommendation
"This is a new cool module design for residences in Belgium. It maximizes space while minimizing space at the same time. Put it this way, it's only 7'10" wide, but stacks the four integral rooms necessary for living: Entrance, Dining, Living, Sleeping and a rooftop bathtub. Love the different colored lighting for each floor. If NYC used these residences, there'd be so much more living space and equ..."
Multi-Functional Spinning Wheel Rooms
2 recommendations
"Wow! Talk about form and function. Keep turning this baby around and you get an array of rooms. Each module's interior would be outfitted for a specific room or function, such as a kitchen, bedroom, or exercise room. The wheel literally turns, and as the positioning of the module changes, so does its function. For instance, while cooking, the couch becomes the ceiling, the dining table a wall. The..."

Magnetic Dumbbells
6 recommendations
"At approximately 2.2 lbs each these dumbbells are a sculpture all on their own. They are very highly polished and the absolute last thing anyone would take as work out equipment. How nice would it be to leave your weights lying around and only get complimented on it? Made by Menu and available as soon as May 2008."
Woofy Cable Container
1 recommendation
"Measuring 13" by 9" the Woofy Cable Container gets rid of unsightly cable spaghetti most of us have lying around. If you take my own home theater as an example we have a Wii, TV, Cable Box, Tivo, DVD Player, PS3, VCR, and a few other things all providing the messiest jumble of cables all over the floor. No matter how many organizers you use, you can't usually find an object that looks like art to ..."

Lockheart Handbags
1 recommendation
"Lockheart handbags are my new obsessions. They certainly fit my "function meets fashion" requirement. The bags are roomy and have tons of pockets inside and out. The outside pockets are cleverly hidden and oh so stylish. They can be found at Nordstrom and your higher end boutiques. Still a bit hard to find here in NY but be sure to keep an eye out for these."
