Tea Bag Lights

201001061001

Korean designer Wonsik Chae’s Tea Bag Lights are really cool but don’t try taking a sip! The cup is filled with a chemical intermediate and the teabag contains fluorescent molecules, when the two come together the mixture gives off a yellow luminescence. The more you steep the bag, the deeper the glow.

All I Want For Christmas-A Wish List!

We know Santa has been tightening his belt this year but we decided were gonna send him our Christmas letter anyway. It never hurts to ask! Here is our Christmas List!

Nikon D5000 12.3 MP DX Digital SLR Camera

nikon d5000

We went to a Nikon event about a month ago with no interest in buying a camera. We left with a stack of brochures and a desire to take better photos. When, our crappy Casio petered out last week on a hike in the Catskill Mountains, and we were left with only our iPhone to capture our precious moments, we vowed somehow, someway we’d get this camera!  . :<  It is relatively simple to use  but has some highly-advanced DSLR capabilities. The Nikon D5000 is a good camera for someone who needs to take better photos but is still learning the intricacies of photography.

Nirve Paul Frank City Bike 700c Women’s Hybrid Commuter Bicycle

p6315660dt

Paul Frank City Bike women’s hybrid commuter bicycle by Nirve® is one hot ride! It has a vintage style, hand-built lugged frame,  three-speed shifter and a Shimano® coaster brake. It’s a tricked out ride perfect for neighborhood cruising. And we dig the luggage rack but we’d add a nice basket in the front for our hauling needs.

A Brain Pillow by HeatherWeathers on Etsy

il_430xN.109198115

We’ve gone all artsy-craftsy lately so if it’s handmade and a little quirky-we’ll take it! We love the use of the lace to represent the skull and the variety of quilted materials gives the user an anatomical study in cushion form.

Sushi Ring by CarolynTillie

il_430xN.58728915

More specifically a Tekkamaki roll sushi ring. You can never lose with teeny tiny replicas of food, when it comes to jewelry.  And we want to make our love of sushi known to the world!

Avant Garde, Mid-Century Stackable Tableware

avantgarde03dailyicon

This set of early 1970s tableware, stacks into a neat and tidy ball. Avant Garde by Helen von Boch, serves four and includes plates, side dishes and bowls in different sizes. When the tableware is not needed you simply stack the dishes together to form a curious conversation piece.

avantgarde01dailyicon

While I wouldn’t take this particular one to the beach, the idea of a fun portable table service is a good concept. We could see  a famous designer producing these for Target next year. Also a great idea for small apartments.

Golden Shopping Cart

Recession? What recession? We’ve seen some pretty tricked out rides over the years but we have to admit this is one we never would have expected.The Okko Store, a gourmet supermarket chain in Istanbul, decided to bust economy woes using a little guerrilla marketing.

U.S.A. Bookcase

us-bookcase

The name of this piece-’Oh, the Farmer and the Cowman Should be Friends’. A one off piece designed for Timothy Taylor Gallery in London by designer Ron Arad. The United States make an excellent storage space for your favorite tomes. Wouldn’t it be fun to give each state a theme? For instance: western novels in Arizona, beach reads in Florida, Oprah’s book club in Illinois.

Proust Geometrica Chair

alessandromendini

We’ve always had an interest in learning to upholster furniture. We like the idea of ripping a chair apart, tearing it down piece by piece then, tenderly reupholstering it, giving it a whole new look and feel. Just the idea feels us with such a sense of accomplishment! Since we love the unique and colorful, as we’re sure our readers know by now, we couldn’t help but think we may have found a new mentor in Allessandro Mendini for Cappellini.
