Look no further! Philou le Caribou is a clever, cruelty-free cardboard trophy deer head with the perfect touch of kitsch for the home or office! It’s a fun piece of decor during the day, but nighttime is when it really shines. A light at the nose produces a large, looming shadow to create a visual oddity that’s sure to be a conversation starter. DIY, flat-pack ready, lightweight, easy to ship, and even easier to put together!

Playtime Table!

We loooove Duffy London! Their latest design, the Swing Table, puts a little extra fun into dinner time or collaborative meetings by using an unorthodox structure with suspended chairs that swing and sway. Chairs that can be adjusted to the seated person’s liking, making the design as functional as it is playful. Not to mention, it makes vacuuming a breeze. Get it here! Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Chopping Slide

Love this unique and sleek chopping knife by Andreas Kalt! Reminds me of how Nigella goes on a chopping spree with her herbs. Because of its bulk size and sharp blades, the knife disassembles and can be safely stowed in a drawer. I bet your kitchen can do with this baby, and so can mine!

Sinking Bath

Sink into the perfect bathtub, sink into The Comfort. Designed with a unique W cross-sectional form, the bathtub is designed ergonomically contoured to the human body. Even if you drift off into sleep, the bathtub design ensures you don’t accidentally slump into the water. A good thing about the form is that it features two distinct, one that allows babies to bathe safely without the need of filling the bathtub to full capacity.

Designer: Vergillio Serra

Little Land Rover

The super compact CliQ concept is a futuristic look into the Land Rover brand’s inevitable need to design smaller EVs if it wants to hang in for the long haul. Designed with modularity in mind, the CliQ’s primary feature is a “remixable” exterior of body slices (yes, slices) that make it possible for drivers to easily change up the aesthetic of the vehicle on a whim. The aim was to create a vehicle that’s not only clean running, but has a long and evolving lifespan to further reduce it’s overall carbon footprint.

Flip-Floppin’ Bench

Part functional public seating solution, part kinetic sculpture, the Bend Bench was designed around a unique frame that makes it possible to rotate both vertically and horizontally. It can spin like a merry-go-round to face any direction for different views. Once in position, one side can be flipped vertically to provide shade or cover from the rain over the other. Simply flip it back down to double the space for others to sit. One of the most versatile bench designs we’ve seen!

DO WANT iPhone 5 But What About Cases?

One of our favorite accessories maker Mujjo just announced the iPhone 5 sleeves and wallets. They’re based on the same design characteristics of the Originals collections that we so lovingly praised a few weeks ago. Worried about fit? Don’t because those genius Dutchies have been walking around with a dummy demo unit for awhile so these products are true to fit. Want one? We’re giving two away. Just leave a comment! Ends Sept 13.

UPDATE: Big thanks to Mujjo. The two winners are Chris and Richard. I’ve emailed you for info.

Ultimate Action Cam

The E-Clips video camera expands on the capabilities of the compact handheld with an easy-to-use system of quick-release mounts. The snap-and-go design makes it possible to seamlessly transition between uses in seconds. Snap to a bike, attach to a helmet, or mount it on any other surface and control power and recording options wirelessly using the included digital wristband!

Designer: Christopher Terella

Very Smart Pan

The Heating Smart Pan addresses the need of a portable cooking appliance that can double up as the cooking utensil as well. There is a lot that we expect from our cooking aids these days; some folks like traditional methods and others prefer to explore high-tech appliances that give freedom of space and minimal worries about cleaning up. Heating Smart Pan is meant for the latter, for people who like to cook without using up too much space or fuss, the pan itself is a heating device and uses battery or electrical power to fire up. Neat!

Super Clean Food

Tabii is a food sterilizing and washing unit that gives storage life with a drying option. The focus of the project is to come up with solution to combat future water shortages and the ‘Turkish habit’ of food drying. Hence the unit works as a sterilizing, washing, drying, and dehydrating appliance.
