I love a design that makes you go “why didn’t I think of that?!” … and this is certainly one of them. The Pliable Coat Hanger (which is small enough to fit in your pocket) expands from a mere 7 cm to 40 in just one easy motion. Super-compact and made of durable, lightweight aluminum, it’s the first truly travel-friendly hanger I’ve seen!

Nico Yektai’s handcrafted Desk #2 is focused on the notion of movement to create not only a functional and ergonomic piece of furniture but also a striking structural decoration that will look great in a number of settings from the craftsman cabin to the ultramodern loft.

Fully Precious Beans are ambient solar-powered light balls, intended to be a playful fun accessory to your interiors. For most part of 2011, I focused on serious designs, ones with a purpose in life. However I think 2012 is the year to unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures in life…a time to have fun with green glow balls that enjoy sunlight as much as I do!

The Umbra is an ultra cool clock concept that works on the principles of the sundial. Two strips of concealed LEDs create the illusion of the hour and minute hands. Although a bit bulky, I love the fact that you can tape the clock vertical or horizontal, thanks to the gecko tape in the rear.

This is the perfect season to be discussing hot coffee and methods of keeping them just that – HOT!
Re-Warming is a reheating stick that restores tepid drinks to their piping-hot glory. It is sleek and creatively wand-ish with a very Harry Potter vibe to it. Not a new concept but definitely a sleek iteration for the next step in refinements.

It’s clever of us to hide socket boards behind furniture and out-of-sight places, however plugging up lamps or devices is another story altogether! Aligning the plug prongs can be a challenge and Donut resolves this issue. The socket allows you to hook up the plug in a ring-shaped ‘hole’ so that it can be inserted at any angle. As the red dot winning designers say, “there is no need to align the pins with two specific small holes.” Superb!
