Wig
Sometimes concept pieces have a way of breaking your heart when they aren’t available for sale. I’m crazy for Wig, a white ceramic vase by Tania de Cruz that allows the user to create insanely artistic headdresses through the placement of florals and greenery.

Brand Spirit
I’m completely intrigued by this project. Brand Spirit takes away all personality and just leaves functionality behind, right down to the design of the site.
“Brand Spirit: every day for 100 days, I will paint one branded object white, removing all visual branding, reducing the object to its purest form. Each object may be purchased for less than $10, something I own, something another person gives me, or something I find.”

Moon Glass
tale’s Moon Glass is designed for enjoying traditional rice wine. But here’s the beauty in it, fill the ceramic glass and as you drink it reveals a full moon, half moon, and crescent as the liquid level descends. It comes in both black and white – enjoy rice wine and sake in the black and colored alcohol and tea in the white. (via Design Milk)

Kontor Kontur
I love a good collection, make it a good color specific collection and I’m positively giddy (re: nerdy). These postcards from Kontor Kontur would be right at home on my wall.

May the Odds
Do I want to see the The Hunger Games when it comes out this Friday? Oh yes. Did I nerd out and read all three books over the holidays? Yup. Loving this print from Entropy Trading Co., whether you’re a fan of the books or not the message is perfectly positive.
