Drip Tease from Reiko Kaneko is a classic tea set with a contemorary twist – normally unwanted marks and stains become desirable decorative details. My style usually skews modern, but this tea set is beyond. I think I’d have to start hosting monthly tea parties! (via Design Milk)

Neon Animals

Louise McNaught‘s mixed media neon animals take a traditional subject matter and kick it into this century. Her drawings/paintings “depict the presence of nature in her work, where the animals are God-like, sublime and ethereal in their luminescence.” I love that, don’t you? (via Colossal)

Paint Stacks

There’s a spot in me that wants to save everything, and I think that’s the level that Leah Rosenberg’s Paint Stacks resonates on most. (There’s also the fact that her inspiration is layer cake, which is its own separate level in my life.) Each piece is created by pouring acrylic paint into trays, allowing it to dry, then peeling it up and stacking with others. Each piece represents layers of piled up time, emotion, and memory. (via Design Milk)

The Mod Collective

The second I saw The Mod Collective‘s porcelain collection I knew that if forced to choose one line for my entire kitchen this would be the one. Each piece is created by a combination of design software and 3D printers, then hand finished and glazed on the inside to make it food safe while the exterior is left raw. My favorite feature is that raw pigment is added to the porcelain slip, which means that if a piece were to chip you wouldn’t see white on the interior like most pieces.

Flight Tag Prints

Airport codes have always fascinated me, the fact that three little letters assigned to each location are responsible for keeping the entire system organized the world over. Pretty amazing. Neil Stevens seemingly agrees, he’s created a series of flight tag prints based on vintage luggage tags dating back to the 1950s. Which one is your favorite? (You can purchase each by clicking the BUY button on the lower right of each image.)

Kipik Toothpick Holder

This little hedgehog toothpick holder is basically the cutest thing ever. He holds 22 toothpicks and can either stand on the table or perch precariously on the edge of a bowl of your favorite hors d’ oeuvres! I love him.
