London Design Week 2012
12th March 2012
Well what do you know? London Design Week 2012 is on this week – and we’re in London! Perfect timing.
Will let you know how it is…
CommentBike Brooches
9th March 2012
How cool are these Ladies Bike Brooches over on Howkapow? I think my lovely friend Lynnda Needles would rock in one.
Goet
8th March 2012
I finally found out who make these awesome wooden stools! Another great discovery at Design Indaba…
Goet is a South African furniture and product design company and they make beautiful wooden furniture, lights, bowls and vases. Mmmmm.
Design Indaba 2012
6th February 2012
Design Indaba is fast approaching and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for 2012.
Spanish industrial designer, product designer and artist Jaime Hayón is high up on my list of people to check out (Hope Bird is one of his) as is MDC Interiors.
I am also crazy excited about “A Taste of Sónar” which is on at City Hall on Friday 2nd March. I love that Design Indaba is broadening its creative scope and throwing some awesome electronica into the mix!
Big Love
2nd February 2012
Thought this Big Love Bowl by Alessi was a beautiful shape, plus ice cream always tastes better shared.
Shine Shine
1st February 2012
Oh! The crazy illustrations and gorgeous colours of Shine Shine fabrics are bea-ut-i-ful.
Shine Shine graphics are designed by Heidi Chisholm, a South African who now lives in Brooklyn. Check out stores like Heartworks and African Image in Cape Town for their products.
Rememberings™
30th January 2012
Thought these Rememberings™ were cute. Wouldn’t it be cool if they were customisable?

iPod Nano Clock Faces
26th January 2012
I think I’m a little behind on this one, but these iPod Nano clock faces are cool. I love, love, love the Mickey Mouse one especially!
Restore
25th January 2012
I like this Restore storage basket made of recycled PET bottles. Too bad it costs £75!

♥ Bobble
19th January 2012
A few weeks ago I wrote about how beautiful Bobble Water Jugs were, but today it’s about how awesome the Bobble customer service is.
Si got a Bobble bottle for his birthday and we thought it was really cool, until the lid started to split for no apparent reason. It seemed so strange that I wrote to them and asked about it and you know what? They replied with a really nice email and sent us a replacement straight away.
Great customer service = customers for life. Thank you Bobble!
GreenZero Chargers
18th January 2012
Eco-friendly chargers are nothing new, but I thought these GreenZero charges by Bracketron were particularly cool. Green for the home, black for travel.
They detect when your device is fully charged and in turn shut off the incoming power. Good for the environment, good for you.

Balloon Light
18th January 2012
I love this Balloon Light by lighting company Estiluz. Happiness in a light.
Bialetti
13th January 2012
I’m a Le Cresuet girl myself, but these Bialetti Pasta Pots are pretty awesome too. The colours are great and I especially love the built in strainer.
(Thank you Mr.Kawasaki)
Wooden Finger Puppets
12th January 2012
Never in my life have I seen wooden fingers puppets! I thought these ones from Muji were lovely.
Eva Solo Pestle & Mortar
11th January 2012
We’re always on the lookout for the perfect pestle and mortar and I love this one by Eva Solo over on YuppieChef.
Chic and cool but still a little bit too small I think. Sigh.
Peligroso
9th January 2012
I love tequila and the only thing better than a good tequila, is a good tequila that comes in an awesome matt black bottle with an embossed snake on the front.
Check out Peligroso Añejo. Sexy and dangerous.

Aurora Display Case
9th January 2012
The Aurora Display Case by Felissimo is awesome. With each set holding 100 pencils, I’m curious to see what it would look like with half used pencils scattered throughout the lines. You could create images of almost anything if you had enough pencils to play with!
Colour like no other.

Julia Kostreva
6th January 2012
Julia Kostreva‘s notebooks and 2012 planners are awesome. I love all the East Coast style screenprinting, letterpressed goodness she’s got going on.
