Rotating Outlet.

Just as I was starting to write this post I realized I’ve developed a sort of fascination with electrical outlets. No, not in a “Wonder what will happen if I just stick this fork…” sort of way. More of a sick obsession with their functionality. My latest? This rotating outlet. Perfect for when you need to plug your hairdryer and cell charger (or anything else with two of those big ‘ol boxy plugs) into the same place at the same time.

If Zoe Bradley has a signature, it is most definitely dramatic silhouettes. Bradley’s work combines sculpture, fashion and theater to create headpieces, dresses, and sets for ad campaigns, editorials, catwalk shows and window installations. All created with high quality papers and touches of fabric. The woman is quite simple this: Absofreakinamazing.

Rise and Sigh Bed Sheets.

Designer Martina Carpelan took sleeping (or a lack thereof) to the next level with the creation of her Rise and Sigh bed sheets.

Rise and sigh is a collection of revealing bed sheets that plays with incidents often taking place in hotels. Different sleeping positions give different imprints on the sleepers’ body. The imprints give you a hint about last night’s atmosphere, suggest you what to do and tell things about you.The Rise and sigh collection consists of three embroidered bed sets; for the bachelor, for the love affair and for the one night stand.
