Ready to leave the cold period behind you? Here's a little something to get you thinking Spring/Summer: a super cute little matchbook that holds a clever secret inside.

Each tip of a match has a seed stuck to it, ready to start growing with a tiny bit of TLC… Wondering what's included? The herbs are Basil, Chives, Parsley and Thyme and on the flower side you'll be looking at Cornflower, Shasta Daisy, Corn Marigold and Field Poppy.

Arnout Visser might have designed this in 1993 for Dutch design powerhouse Droog already – yes last century – but this is still the reigning kitchen contraption when it comes to oil and vinegar vessels. What's so special about it? Just the simple fact that it uses physics to create a stunning accessory. If you've listened to your physics teacher in high school, then you should have a vague idea about the density of oil and water and why one floats on the other. The same principle is applied here. Oil is less dense than vinegar and as such floats on top. So if you need some oil, you use the spout on the left of the picture, and if you need some vinegar you use the one on the right. Who knew that physics could be an accessory on your dinner table... See less

One can never have enough salt and pepper shakers in our opinion, so here's a brand new one from Designfenzider Ron Gilad. We are sure you've seen his iconic work before, maybe even own some of his unique pieces. His work is so special that Forbes magazine included Ron in their annual tastemaker list, and if you know his products, you know why. We'll bring you three days of his work and to kick it off we'll present his brand new salt and pepper shaker. You might wonder why it actually looks like a mortar and pestle? That's the whole trick, the pestle is for the pepper and the mortar is for the salt and together they are a great set for any table... Made out of porcelain and cork, the entire piece is 2.5" x 2.5" (6.5 cm x 6.5 cm) wide and 5" (12.5 cm) high. – what's left to say? Nothing really, well maybe only that we love it! See less

Sometimes turning things on its head can be a very good thing – from what we understand especially for astronauts and artists... Now Tsur Reshef is neither, he studied industrial design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and worked for a firm of architects there before founding his own Dutch design studio in 1998, but maybe he'd just emptied a few too many glasses. In any case, by sealing the mouth of the glass and making a lid of the base, he transformed two glasses into a cruet set for oil and vinegar and the inverted effect is pleasing and disorientating in equal measure, it somehow seems to defy gravity... The set comes with a cleaning brush and a cute little funnel for refilling but the final clever touch is in the name. 'MING' is the word 'WINe', reflected... Clever, eh? See less

As a regular here at C&M you know how much we covet smart kitchen gadgets. As a regular, you also know how much pleasure we get in finding brand spanking new products. If you get a kick out of any of the above, then you should definitely have a look at this. It's basically for the baker in you, or for the server – whichever you prefer – but what it does is simply brilliant. It looks like tongs with a triangle on top, and it functions as a cake cutter and lifter. Simply slide it down on your cake and then slightly squeeze the tongs and a perfect piece of cake is on ist way to a plate. Brilliant. It takes the pain out of serving, cutting and dealing with cake that needs to go from presentation plate to serving plate and it comes in 5 lovely colors, so you can flaunt your style! See less

AlissiaMT should be known to all of you design aficionados out there for her wonderful collection of 'diamond' rings and her unique nested appetizer plates 'A Handful of Plates'. After the runaway success of the Champagne and the Liqueur glasses we are now so excited to get ready for the third installment: The Martini Glass. The InsideOut Collection of barware turns the common knowledge of what a drinking glass should look like on its head. In AMT's collection of barware, the well known and oftentimes iconic shapes of glasses are hidden behind a neutral and discreet outer shape, unassuming and simple. But once you pour the drink, the glass' inner identity appears creating an unusual and highly fascinating effect. The Martini glass is particularly amazing because it is a lot shorter than the usual Martini glass, but it creates a wonderful presentation and is a lot better to hold than balancing an overly wide glass filled to the rim on a thin stem... Besides the visual beauty, there is... See less
