(11/23/08) Karakuri are mechanized puppets or automata from Japan dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. The word 'Karakuri' means a "mechanical device to tease, trick, or take a person by surprise." Japanese designer Keisuke Saka created this papercraft kit series filled with surprises and a dose of dark humor. "Climate Change" is a moving model of everyone's favorite Arctic creature, threatened by global warming. Mr. Saka is one of Japan's most honored paper engineers. His thoughtfully rendered designs use the fewest moving parts to communicate their magical, elegant movement. Cutting, folding and gluing required in assembly. Each one takes less than two hours of time to complete. Completely instructions included. Surprisingly robust if correctly built. . * Packaging: Packed in a 8 1/2" x 11" sleeve with a colorful cover. * This item normally ships in 48 hours.See less

(11/23/08) For builders, mortar is the stuff that binds the blocks of a building. For Nobuhiro Sato, its the stuff that brings his unorthodox concepts into being. The Mansion Planter allows for that personal rooftop garden you dreamed of but to wee scale. All the details of home are there, however, from the stairs and colored windows, to the balcony handrails and flower pots. With the Truss Planter, he considers a new use for an abandoned building (complete with exposed steel)as home for a living plant. Colored windows in the series provide a second use as a candle holder. Sato established his studio Pull+Push in 2002 with the goal of pulling and pushing new ideas in and out. The Kyoto Seika grad studied design in construction in the fine arts department there. Today, he plays with notions of architecturein this case, literally, buildingsto create lifestyle design accessories. * Packaging: gift box * Size: * Truss 2.6"w x 2.6"d x 4.1"t * Mansion-3.9"w x 3.9"d x 4.7"t * This item normally...See less

(11/23/08) Argentinian-born Alfredo Haberli designed these glasses for the Finnish company Iittala with an essential idea: fewer glasses while still being able to serve a full range of fine wines. The Essence trio are unified by the angular shape of the bowl, while the stem and base of each glass is the same size providing a sense of balance at the table. They are easy to handle, designed to expose the true taste and nose of whatever wine you pour in them.

(11/23/08) Harry Allen obtained a suckling pig that had died of natural causes, and instead of roasting it, he cast it in resin and created this piggy bank. Hes such an animal fan that he donates $10 of every pig bank sale to the Humane Society. The bank is part of the New York artists Reality Series, an ongoing collection of sampled forms reimagined with function. The level of detail is amazing: We particularly love the critter's smooth nose and tiny tail. A shiny silver pig sits on our dining table and holds our loose change. With a slot on his back and a cork in his belly, he becomes a shiny amalgam of the decorative and the useful. * Packaging: Gift Box * Size: 19"l x 4.5" w x 10h * This item normally ships in 48 hours.See less
