Svenskt Tenn Rug - ugh!

How did I ever miss this rug from Svenskt Tenn available from Architonic? I thought I had seen all of Josef Frank’s designs ten times over, but no! Yes, it is probably so far outside my budget as to be ridiculous, but I had to post it. I mean, just look at it. Fab-u-lous.

Wood you wear these glasses?

I am something of a glasses aficionado, but I have never in my life seen cooler frames than these handmade wooden pairs from Urban Spectacles. Why haven’t I ever seen glasses made from wood before? It sort of makes sense doesn’t it? File that under things that make you go hmmm.

More affordable(ish) gifts…the Cooper Hewitt edition

Here’s a few nifty and reasonably priced items from the Cooper Hewitt Museum store. First off we’ve got a multi function knife, for those of us that need to save our pennies there is a New York rooftop reminiscent water tank bank, and finally a very sleekly designed ballpoint pen with a stamp built right in.
