A Fountain Pen For The Modern

A Fountain Pen For The Modern

Fountain pens may lend an air of sophistication but damn can they get anymore dated? I mean all I need is a monocle, a bowler hat, a tweed suit and I’m all set. This fountain pen design but Vivien Muller updates the ubiquitous writing tool to where I wouldn’t mind using one. Okay ergonomics may have taken a backseat here but hell, it’ll look sexy just sitting on my desk.

Wheel of Fortune Telling

Wheel of Fortune Telling

Straight off the desk of George W. Bush comes the “decision maker”. Great for deciding foreign policy blunders, words other than “recession” to use while describing the US economy, and most importantly, what’s for lunch. Designed by Pu Tai, the “Decision-Making Compass Kit” is a fun little concept that takes the guess work out of most annoying choices in life.

Origami for Superheroes

Origami for Superheroes

If wearing bullet proof tights and bending steel with your fingers is no big feat for you, you may be into this pencil sharpener that is literally ‘folded’ out of a single sheet of stainless steel. Designed by Donn Koh, this “Origami Sharpener” design captures the spirit of origami with folds that create volumes for ergonomic handling and also form the channel walls to guide pencils into place; the grinded edge forms the shaving blade.

Fort Focus

Fort Focus

I am sure everyone at one point has felt the urge to crawl into a box and hide from the world. I know I can’t live without that sense of confined privacy I get when I am tucked away in my car while in traffic, hidden behind my tinted windows. Sure, I know people can still kinda see me as I pick my nose or pound on the air drums, but I don’t care. It’s my very own little fortress from the world.

Alice in Amsterdam

Alice in Amsterdam

What better way to arouse creativity and inspiration than clean, white spaces filled with glowing ambient light? Some might argue that the lack of visual stimuli might create the opposite affect, but I beg to differ, and so do the Amsterdam based architects UXUS. They decided to use their own offices to showcase their latest creation that is self described as a “mysterious and poetic atmosphere of old and new world fables,”

A Bookshelf As Easy As Legos

A Bookshelf As Easy As Legos

Flat-pack furniture is becoming more and more popular with younger people since it’s easy to ship and build. The Knockdown Bookcase uses no screws, glue, wrenches, or instruction manuals. Each identical wood board is modular and slips into a supporting wall behind it. Design your bookshelf however you want. I mean just look at the girl in the picture. You know she did that all by herself. Look how happy she is. Cheeky.

Tavi The Magazine Table Rack

Tavi The Magazine Table Rack

Doesn’t that sound like the name of some fairy tale reject? I digress, the Tavi Table combines the functional attributes of a coffee table and magazine rack. The table is supported by standard legs on one side, and modeled velum on the other. The velum leg is where you stow away your magazines which can be sorted thru from the transparent glass top.
