Everyone has excess coffee mugs in their cabinets – it’s like they breed in there. I’m no exception, but think I could make room for a few more if they were these sleek designs over at tabletools.

I came across ATYPYK about a month ago on my daily web search and was really impressed with their ability to find design that is both conceptual and useful. With the holidays right around the corner they offer a plethora of unique gifts that will be sure to have the recipient asking “Where did you find this?!”
Clockwise from upper left: Pause bookmark, Bullseye bib, Book cutting board, Bzzz fly swatter, Ticket bookmark, Future-telling coffee cup.
A designer’s dream layout pad. Pick one up here.
I want one. Pronto so I can have it around for the weekend Labor Day festivities.
The Fold Flat BBQ is brilliantly designed, packs super thin and opens up to provide a 45 x 30cm cooking area. Solidly made from pressed steel, the sides provide a built-in wind break. Since it’s so portable you can head out any time you like to BBQ your little heart out. What an amazing contraption that’s so well thought out. And only around $40.

Start Here linkable notebooks are evil genius at work. Simply slide the back cover of one book into the cover of another and voila. The process is never ending and your plans for world domination can procede in an organized fashion. Besides lined and blank notebooks they also carry planners. The pockets are also really handy for storage if you’re not linking the books together.
My allergies and I are wishing we had one of these today.
The Toro Tissue Ring is an stylish alternative to the always unattractive tissue box. Made of stainless steel, Toro’s simplicity is the result of a perfect balance of weight and size – just right to let one tissue through at a time while staying firmly planted on the tissue stack.

This is quite possibly one of the coolest inventions in recent history – Le Beanock. Basically a beanbag converted into a hammock that can hang at any height and angle. Le Beanock is crafted out of marine quality sailcloth finished with zig-zag stitching for extra durability. Chain and eyelets are another marine quality feature – making it more than tough enough for two people. We can thank fashion model turned expert sailmaker/weldress Tracie Herrtage for her innovative design. As of now Le Beanock is available in both natural and black, as well as small (250£) and large (495£) sizes.
Fly-Bird is full of curious little items that make every day life even more interesting. I love little tea-party ready sugar and creamer sets and the Anna set ($204) is divine. The Juicy Salif ($79) is an incredible piece of alien-like design that I would love to have sitting on my kitchen counter. And the Stackable Number Cups ($16) are stark white and beautiful. I can think of several things I could use them for other than drinking eight million cups of coffee.
I’m going to stick with my coffee theme for a little longer today as I introduce to you the Coffee Machine by Jasper Morrison. This beautifully modernistic machine is entirely self-contained: filters, spoon, measuring table, etc and was noted as one of Fortune Magazine’s 25 Best Products. Love it.
