Mest Turkish Coffee Set.
Yet another standout from designboom’s design in 2015 competition: the Mest Turkish coffee set from Israeli designer Esli Alovi.
“A modern interpretation for a turkish coffee set which still maintains its traditional values. The tray integrates everything required for the preparation of the coffee, from cooking to serving, all in the dining area. The materials used are copper and ceramic.”

Jorre van Ast Screw-Ons.
Brilliant just doesn’t seem enough to describe how I feel about these screw on tops by designer Jorre can Ast. By screwing on plastic tops everyday jars are turned into vessels with a specific function. The family includes a sugar pot, milk jug, chocolate sprinkler, oil&vinegar set and a water jug.

Barbara Barry Barware & Plates.
Interior designer Barbara Barry is one of my absolute favorite style icons. Now the celebrated lady has released a set of barware and plates, each depicting one of four of her famous chair designs. I may not know much, but I do know one thing: if I owned those plates they’d be on a wall somewhere, not in my kitchen cabinets.

Pick Up Mug and Tray Set.
I love the how the Pick Up mug and tray set is so closely related to those wine glass holder/appetizer plates that were so popular awhile back. This is a piece that would come in handy and be used so much more often in my opinion! Just use the cup for your beverage (hot or cold) and the plate for toast, sandwich, etc. Love it! The set is currently available in two patterns: yellow floral and green abstract, while the mug is available in glossy white and matte black. Mix and match as you wish.

Spaghetti Shallow Plates.
Designer Frank Martin has made first dates the world over a lot easier.
“This clever white melamine plate was designed to be used for spaghetti. Like other pasta plates, the shape is a bowl yet this piece features a small creater in the center which afford the user the opportunity to twirl the spaghetti using a fork only – no spoon required. Works wonderfully and a new essential for the pasta lover. This piece is also great for presenting a number of different foods using the center crater as a repository for sauces or dips.”

CupKozy II.
I love the little felt CupKozy II! A reusable, eco-friendly alternative to the cardboard sleeves typically used at your favorite coffee shop, they’ll fit most 12, 16 and 20 oz. disposable coffee cups. Yea for doing even a little bit to help out the environment and being stylish at the same time.

Pitcher with Insert.
As with pretty much everywhere else in the country right now, the weather is cold and gross. The freezing rain just started coming down about a hour ago and although it’s not bad enough to leave work for home, it is bad enough to make all of the idiot drivers drive even worse. Ugh.
I love this pitcher always, but today because it makes me think about the warm (okay, sweltering) days of summer that are waiting for their turn. It’s brilliant because of the nifty little insert. Put your ice inside of it instead of directly into your beverage to avoid things getting watered down.

Jessica Rust’s Birch Platter.
Jessica Rust is one talented lady and I’m digging her latest addition to the Personalized Birch line – this large oval birch platter. I love the detailing on the trunk and the personalized “carving” of initials that she can do when you purchase one. And that shadow? Makes the piece in my opinion by giving it some unexpected depth. Make sure and check out the rest of her site for lots and lots of stunning pieces.
