Insula Cup.

The Insula Cup, designed by McKay Duncan, has a really organic feel about it. Th exterior texture is gently rippled while the insulated double wall makes the cup cool to the touch while keeping everything inside hot as can be. I think it would also make a great little vase or pencil cup to display on an end table or my (oops, I mean your) desk.

Be Tough Tee.

Sebastien and Ivan over at Atypyk created the badass Be Tough t-shirt some time ago. It was even curated for bit until being brought back to life. And I’m so glad it was because I’m 99% sure that wearing it would be the one time in my life when I got to pack some heat.

A City of Magazines.

Aside from simple unfinished-wood magazine holders, these are likely the only ones I would allow to adorn my shelves. Together this series of illustrated holders creates an entire city block of different styles and periods: Jugend, Renaissance, Gothic Stle, etc. Designed by Happy Forsman & Bodenfors and illustrated by Klas Fahlén for The Swedish Museum of Architecture, the magazine holders are only available for purchase through the Museum Shop. How beautifully tragic!

Violet.

I recently discovered Violet and couldn’t think better of it. What’s so different is the way in which they’re organized – in traditional categories as well as in ways that reflect a person’s personality, tastes and emotions. All of the thought Violet has put into their organization makes it that much easier (and faster!) for you to find that Perfect Something. And there are scads of Perfect Somethings to choose from. These are just a few of the things that caught my eye.

Sweet's Candy.

The morning after Halloween most people are at their candy saturation point. I said most people. *wink, wink*

Sweet’s Candy creates some seriously quality candies out in Salt Lake City. And some seriously clever packaging for their Twist Box series filled with classic candy. I love the idea of opening a big piece of ‘candy’ to get to the rest of the goods.
