I Love Picnics

I should really plan one more often and these tablemats from Empty Me by Asli could certainly coax me along. So cute.

Bleu Nature

Be inspired by nature.

Leolux

I love this swivel coffee table by Leolux. It serves its practical purpose (plus has storage to boot), all the while functioning as a work of art. To find out more info (like where to buy) check out their site. Enjoy!

Make it a Green Day

Teresa Cole of Teresa Green Design will be at the New York Gift Fair. If you're lucky enough to be going please check out her work. I would so love it if her products were available in the U.S.

Someone to Watch

Lily'66. Keep an eye on this site.

Wonder Twin Powers Activate!

No, they're not twins, but they are a dynamic duo. I am absolutely in love with the ceramics created by the complimentary talents of Alison Milner and Christiane Kersten. To learn more click here.

Put a Fork In It!

I ran across these wooden forks by Daisung Kim over at Designboom as part of the 2006 100% Design Tokyo. What can I say? Maybe not the most practical, but they are definitely something I covet. I want that deer!

Joanna Bylicka

For those wishing to purchase Joanna's work you can go here. I don't know if they'll ship to the U.S., but for those lucky devils living overseas, you're in luck.

For Your Eyes Only...

Because they're not for sale. I came across these pillowcases during one of my marathon google searches. They're so bright and cheerful, reminding me that Spring isn't so far away, even though its 28 degrees outside . By asldesigns. Be inspired!

Knock on Wood

I'm sure many of you out there have already seen this fascinating, inventful product. This post is for those who have not because I think it is just such a clever, clever idea. Memory sticks for your USB ports made out of...sticks. By Oooms, they're smart in every way, functionally and aesthetically. You can get them here for $99.00.

People To Watch

For the last 5 years Elle Decoration magazine has held its Prodeco competition to find the best-designed everyday objects on the Polish market. The competition is open to producers, distributors, craftsmen and design studios.

My favorite by far were the chest of drawers designed by Jarosław Bełza. It is composed of wood from around the world in a patchwork-like pattern and the ceramic trivets called Koronki (Lace) by Joanna Bylicka.

Talk about your metallics...

What about this disposable plastic bottle covered in silver from Pampaloni for 40 euro? I think I just might consider drinking water again. :)
