(11/30/08) Tobi Wong is a master of turning what at first seem to be utilitarian objects into clever new luxury items that always have a deeper meaning than what is obvious at the surface. A wonderful example is this gorgeous black brooch. Intended to be worn over the heart, at first it seems like nothing spezial – unless you consider a black rose something special. But this spezial bloom is made of heavy duty ballistic nylon, turning it into a high-tech talisman for the tender hearted and a wry fashion statement.See less

(11/30/08) The last time we checked the weather here in California it was bright and sunny and there was no sign of rain. But we have been told that it is still raining in quite a few other places around the world and so we thought it would just be appropriate to tell you about this pretty nifty accessory for those rainy days... Now granted, it's not rocket science as it is nothing more than an umbrella, but the beauty lies in its pretty neat feet. Yup, feet. Umbrellas of yore have a point and are placed into a corner to stand when it's closed. Not this little fellow here, it comes with 3 little feet that add impressive stability and make it stand on its own, so whether dry or wet, he needs not lean against anything to prevent him from falling into the dirt. Nifty, yup, we thought so too...See less

(11/30/08) This is Konstantin Slawinski's brand spanking new product. If the name sounds familiar, then you might know him from the uber successful s-xl cake mould that was sold out within days last year. This looks unusual but is amazingly smart – it's both a trivet and a measuring device for pasta at the same time. How does it work? Easy, just guide your pasta through one of the 4 different openings to see how many you will need for 2, 3, 4 or more people. Once the right amount is chosen, the Noooodle (4 holes, hence 4 O's.) turns into a trivet for the pot with the pasta before preparation. Sounds fabulous, no?See less

(11/30/08) Oh when it comes to placemats we are picky! We adore our Pop Up Placemats, and our vintage linen, but there isn't much modern that we really like! But when we came across this set of four felted place mats, we had to add them as a Soupe, they are simply adorable! Designed by Gabrielle Lewin, these placemats are not just easy to handle – just clean with cold water – but are also super pretty on the table. They are just the right blend of casual and elegant, so no matter what the occasion, they will look great on your table! Dinner is served!See less

(11/30/08) The Cablebox! What is it you ask? Well, probably the simplest way to do away with the cable mess that is undoubtedly behind your TV, under your desk, in your kitchen anywhere where you have a power strip! Simply put your power strip or surge protector inside the Cablebox – no need to unplug anything beforehand – sort your cables with the included twist ties and close the lid. Voila, the mess is gone. Well, not really, but it's out of sight and that pretty much does the trick! The Cablebox is designed to fit various shapes and sizes of surge protectors and power strips, it has outlets on either side of the box and has plenty of room for excess cables inside. At about 40 x 15 cm or 15 x 6" it is a great foot print that's not overly big either and for added stability it comes with soft rubber feet as well!See less

(11/30/08) We’ve mentioned it often enough, we’re suckers for gadgets and we adore kitchen contraptions, with that said, how could we not jump on this product? It’s similar to the fabulous Noooodle, but lacks the trivet ‘functionality’ that our current fave Noooodle provided. But then again, the Godfather adds some street cred, looking like some good old brass k...See less
