Loving the organic design of the Cocoon. Plant herbs in the top half and store fresh fruit in the cubby on the bottom. Because it’s made of clay, water is easily absorbed and during the evaporation process it keeps things nice and cool. I have the perfect place for one. {via Design Milk}
I get really excited to highlight locals and that’s definitely the case with evie s. Evie is smack-dab right here in Oklahoma City and creates some of the most beautiful things. (Not to mention has a great blog!) Recently she’s branched out into pillows and this week is giving away a Sky and Land pillow to one of you. It’s sure to brighten up a dark corner as we trudge through these last days of winter.

ABC Paper Cups are eons more visually appealing than the disposable paper cups I stopped buying years ago because of their unbearable designs. Seriously, where do they find those patterns and motifs??? {via The Dieline}
THERMOS Kanne by Jorg Boner is designed with being on the go in mind. Two mugs fit neatly under a strap until needed. Then the elastic strap itself turns into a handle, in effect converting the entire thermos into a carafe. Brilliant. {via swissmiss}
The Swiss Spice Salt and Pepper shaker was created to withstand all sorts of climates and conditions without clumping. Which is really just the icing on the cake when you see the stellar design.
The Japon jewelry box looks like a mini-boom box circa 1980s. And it would be equally at home in my office organizing supplies as in my closet organizing jewelry. Dual-functionality always get extra points from this girl.
I’ve been on the hunt for a vase that does its job or is okay with just sitting there and looking pretty. Yesterday I picked up a ceramic one that is tall, slender and adorned with a white on white raised honeycomb pattern. It’s new home in on my mantel.
But then I saw these. They’re actually called Pretty Vases. And I love the bold, bright colors paired with the unconventional pipe-mimicking design.

I know I’m not the only one out there who’s noticed a surge in subway art over the past few months. And I’m obviously not the only one who’s toyed with the notion of creating some of my own. Just look at this step-by-step tutorial from Ashley at lil blue boo and tell me you’re not going to be running out to the hardware store to pick up wood and spray paint this weekend. {via Shelterpop}
Great functional design in this Candleholder with Matches and the two never need be apart again.
I’m not a huge fan of wallpaper. Mainly because it’s so much more difficult to change on a whim when I get tired of it that paint is. But this wallpaper from Soy Este? This funnest of fun wallpaper based on multiples of everyday objects? This I could totally get behind. Check out the entire selection of brilliance right here. {via Two Brunettes}
