Beautiful wireless speaker system by Michael Young.
Hoooray! We are jumping up and down of joy here at swissmiss studio! Why? Tanya Romstad from Sweden just sent us the above picture of her swissmiss alpenglow project. Yay for crafty Swedes!
Jack Cheng's latest article on why he time tags his to-do list.
Beard Bird by Marc Johns. I love this man's immagination.
Dear happy internet traveler... A 404 Error page by Orangecoat that made me smile. Check out this collection of 404 Pages over at
Finally! Photos from Monday Nights's art jumping at MoMA. That can't be all? Did you go and take your own? Share the link in a comment below.
This lovely Ferm Living Tea Towel makes dish washing a little more fashionable.
Being the CritBuns fan that I am, I was happy to learn that they are now back, softer than ever! t's a new, baby-butt smooth formula designed for cheek-to-cheek comfort. CritBuns were inspired during an arduous design critique when Joe Gebbia was studying at RISD. Since then, they've been adopted by moms with aching backs, dads needing a comfortable office chair, and yoga classes during meditation.
They come in blue, and retail for $24.99 at the MoMA Store, or direct on Critbuns.com.
A flickr Collection of Bento boxes prepared by the posters girlfriend. I hope he proposes to her, she's a keeper!
BB, this Laputa Robot with Fox Squirrel Bento! is dedicated to you. Hilarious.
(thank you Julia)
I agree with HeadingEast: I like Joel Barhamand's series Stuck in a Strange Loop, because who among us has not at some point been stuck in a strange loop? (While I love the overall design of Joel's site, it bugs the hell out of me when sites go fullscreen. A big no-no in my book.)
How fantastic is this Eco House? Dolls and kids can add the rewards of saving energy to pretend-play fun when they set up housekeeping in this ecologically friendly home that includes a windmill, rain barrel, solar panels, recycling bins, shower, and motor bike.
This well-organized toiletry bag rolls up into a neat, easy-to-pack shape and unfurls to reveal a removable Velcro mirror, four zip pockets and a loop for hanging. And all that for a mere $20. Yay for an affordable gift that I might just order for myself as well!
Michael wrote up a post about the Nooka Zon. Matthew Waldman, the mastermind behind Nooka, was my first boss here in NYC and I remember the morning when he walked into the studio and showed me a sketch of his first Nooka. Wonderful to have seen Nooka evolve into such a big brand.
This morning I attended the AIGA Breakfast Club and had the pleasure to meet Tina Chan and Esther Mun, the unbelievably talented and much admired forces behind LittleFury. So wonderful to meet the designers behind the pieces you hold in such high regard. Hat tip and bow!
I agree with basement, I am a big fan of the Instapaper iPhone app. It basically let's your mark things to be read later. Now there’s Give Me Something To Read, a site (and feed) that bubbles up popular Instapaper articles pegged for reading later. Yay!
love these! adorable handmade felt barrettes embroidered in different colors with the days of the week.
olympus zoom ads. made me laugh.
This Postal Service Surplus Canvas Bag would make a lovely gift.

There are more and more sustainable products and options available for how we live our lives, but who are the real masterminds behind all this new stuff? Who are they? What shops do they work for/run? What have they done, what are they working on and what's their vision?
Do you know of any designers that made themselves a name in sustainable design? If so, please list their/your portfolio as a comment below. Just curious!
One of my alltime favorite gifts: Fisher® Chrome Bullet Space Pen
Tivoli Audio Model One
Beautiful illustration work by Olivier Tallec.
If you are in the NYC area, you have to go to MoMA tonight and Jump! Today's MoMA jump is scheduled to start at 6:30. MoMA will be open until 8:45. Brilliant!
DDDDOWNLOAD is an interesting small utility that allows you to download any FFFFOUND! collection straight to your harddrive.
(thank you Denver Egoist)
Sodapix, a swiss stock photo agency, offers a fun online memory game. I would love to have an actual copy of this to play with at home.
And while you are on their site, check out their impressive color search filter feature. After you've done a search, click on one of the colored squares to filter the results by overall color. Fantastic.
