Portland-based creative agency monogoto recently launched a colorful toy block collection called KUUM for Japanese brand Felissimo. The 202-piece set is crafted from beech tree wood and comes in 12 units (each in 2 color ways) that can be disassembled into 36 different shapes. Each of the 12 units represents a theme: soil, fire, flower, tree, mountain, sea, ice, stone, earth, moon, sun and sand. W
Japan is already renowned amongst aquarists for the segment of stunningly composed freshwater landscapes known as aquascapes, underwater arrangements combining the culture’s deep rooted affinity for naturalistic wabi-sabi composition and carefully groomed landscapes with aquarium gear. Japanese aquarist Takashi Amano is credited for creating the style back in the 1990’s, a naturalistic aquatic arc
With DIY culture on the rise, Israeli designer Ningal created a pair of open source chairs that allow you to build them at home. FABrics chairs were designed so they could be manufactured locally, anywhere in the world, by the user as their very own DIY project. CNC router milling, laser-cutting, and 3D printing are fairly accessible in businesses around the globe so finding someone to fabricate t
Categorize this design concept in the realm of “unnecessary, but we want it”. Royal College of Art student Simin Qiu’s Swirl concept was awarded a 2014 IF Concept Design Award for its innovative miniature turbine-powered, water flow shaping faucet design. In theory, Qui’s tap-touch bathroom sink faucet would use 15% less water using the same water pressure compared to a typical faucet flow while a
Vinylize was one of those brands that I didn’t see coming (see! ha! get it?!). Now, I’m still a big fan of playing records – the vintage sound of a record spinning is one that I bet (unfortunately) my grandchildren will likely never hear. However, it’s nice to know maybe they could use them in other ways… like eyewear! Wait… what? Yes. Vinylize is a brand of eyewear that upcycles old vinyl records
Fifti-fifti is a new German company that designs, produces, and distributes for different avenues of light. Their take-off light is a unique lamp that is made of two pieces of paper that are laser stitched with a very delicate pattern. That pattern can also be enlarged at will, changing the way the light passes through the shade. This opens a realm of possibilities with the interplay between light
It’s really hard to make 425 square feet look spacious but Specht Harpman Architects managed to do just that in this once awkward New York City apartment that’s set at the top of a six-story building. By creating “living platforms,” they were able to accommodate all the necessities an apartment might need while keeping the space open and bright. Helping with that was the fact that they were workin
Have you ever seen something so compact, adorable, and smartly designed? Built as affordable housing for students in Lund, Sweden, this tiny cottage, which is under 12 square meters, rents for about $370 a month (2500 kronor) and comes with everything a tenant might need – a sleeping loft, kitchenette with dining area, a bathroom, and study area. Due to economical housing being so few and far betw
Living and working in New York City, Japanese artist Kumi Yamashita has a series of work using simple shapes and objects with light to create the most incredible shadows. Using a single light source that projects light onto the material, Yamashita forms silhouettes of people and faces in the series entitled Light & Shadow.

Egg Box is a minimalist packaging design by Hungary-based designer Otília Andrea Erdélyi. Erdélyi is currently a masters student studying at Moholy-Nagy University. The goal was to redesign the egg crate using as little material as possible, while still providing enough protection for the eggs. The box is made of microwaved cardboard, and consists only of one piece using ellipse shaped cuts. Erdél
Let’s start out with a staircase we’ve talked about before: Ribbon Stairs. Designed by HŠH Architects to mimic a delicate rippling ribbon, these stairs are beautiful but maybe a little scary to run up and down when you’re in a hurry. Italian company 14 Ora Italiana has a collection of wood grain porcelain tiles that were inspired by the works of Andy Warhol. The Uonuon line comes in fourteen color
My laptop weighs about 20 pounds. OK, I’m exaggerating, but at about 3 years old, it’s already completely outdated, clunky and ready for retirement. Laptops are getting smaller and lighter – something I remember wishing for when I used to travel for work quite a bit. I’d love to get my hands on a new, ultra-fast lightweight laptop. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love my tablet for watching movies a
Jump From Paper makes bags that trick your eye – they look like drawings, but they are real bags! The designs were created by up-and-coming Taiwan designers Chay Su and Rika Lin. First, the duo draws the illustration on paper and then produces a three-dimensional fully functioning bag from their design. UPDATE: You can buy Jump From Paper’s handbags in their online shop.

Ditch that expensive, wasteful bottled water — the tap is where it’s at. Tapi by Australian company Dreamfarm turns your ordinary faucet into a fun drinking fountain without disturbing the normal flow of water. Simply press the bottom of Tapi to change the flow of water. I bet this would be a big hit with kids. Jaime Derringer, Founder + Executive Editor of Design Milk, is a Jersey girl living in

Bummer! These great new USB drives by Verbatim are only being released in Europe, but I can think of a few good reasons to keep them on hand at my office. With a color for anyone on your contact list, these paperclip jump drives would be perfect for handing over large files to clients in style. The Clip-it was designed by Arman Emami, and awarded a Red Dot 2010 design award.
