I drink inordinate amounts of coffee on a daily basis. I haven’t made the Big Switch to espresso yet (and I stress the word yet), but when I do the You&Me espresso machine would be perfect. It’s the smallest in the world, as well as quiet and beautiful. The perfect combination, wouldn’t you agree?
MSLK is a Long Island-based design shop that strives to move beyond pretty-picture layouts and achieve accomplishments through strategy. In other words, their design has a goal of functionality as well as visual appeal.
I love these bookmarks, which are a great example of all that MSLK seems to stand for in the Design World.
Business cards intrigue me for a number of reasons. I love that each and every one (no matter how well designed – or not) is a little keepsake. Something that gives someone or something an identity. I love that of all the graphic pieces out there – and there are so many – business cards have become something that society chooses to express and communicate themselves through. And there is so much more. I’ve kept a collection of cards that stand out to me visually or functionally for as long as I can remember.
Now behold this Flickr gallery, where someone has managed to photograph and post their entire business card collection for the world to see.
The Poster List. One page. One in-house production team. One place to buy. Tons of amazing posters on the cheap.
With my favorite time of the year finally upon us, I can’t think of a more perfect fall-like dessert than this Molasses-Spice Cake. Yum.
I recently discovered Brocade Home and all they have to offer. These are just a few of the pieces I fell in love with. Be sure and visit them to find loads more.

How sexy is the new Apple Wireless Keyboard? It’s been completely redesigned, inside and out and is ultra-thin. It also has new function keys for play/pause, fast-forward and rewind, Expose, and Dashboard. Bluetooth lets you use it anywhere within 30 feet of your Mac. The keyboard automatically powers down when you’re not using it and turns on as soon as you start typing. It also has an on/off switch for when you’re away from your computer for a long time.
Tell me more!

molo, a Vancouver-based design studio, is dedicated to exploring materials and space making. Their float line of products is a great representative of that idea. float is a line of thermal-resistant glassware designed with simple forms and clean lines to emphasize anything served within. The suspended bowl design also performs the function of insulating your hand from the beverage. Pictured above are the float tea cups and float champagne flutes.
I’ve never served wine out of anything other than a bottle. Well, except for the occassional box. None the less I adore these Avian Carafes at Wisteria. One is extremely duck-like while the other remains a bit more classical in shape and design.
PaPaYa specializes in world-influenced artwork – sort of a fusion of global culture and modern times if you will. Run by mother-daughter team Anahata and Gina Katkin, PaPaYa is a melting pot of “creative abandon” with the end goal of creating arts and goods. The visual collage techniques used by Gina are incredibly beautiful. I’m in love with the mongram letters.
