Lots of great illustration work by Pascal Blanchet.

Jonas Trampedach's Tea Bag Coffin - a tea cup that provides a tidy solution for the used teabag.

Intriguing facade by Future Systems on London's Oxford Street. They call it a "vibrant jewel-like glass frontage...Through the repetition of crystal-like glass bays, a sense of scale and rhythm is created."

Foster & Partners' new Sperone Westwater Gallery - slated for construction on Bowery near to the New Museum. Included in the design is a 'moving room' that will oscillate between the lower galleries and the lobby floor.

Vintage Mayan playing cards designed by the Soviet State.

Love the idea behind the Parr House by Pezo von Ellrichshausen Architects - a rectangular home with a series of rooms, each which gets its own sloped roof and skylight, and a series of internal (but exterior) courtyards dispersed throughout the home.

Phaidon recently released their 2nd in the series of architectural tomes, the Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture. Featuring projects built after 2000, it catalogs 1,037 of the world's most interesting built projects. And it comes with its own suitcase.

Taxidermy art from Toifu - hunting trophy wall decals.

Jethro Macey's Textile Side Unit, in collaboration with Decode London. Love the texture of the doors.

Re-Cycle Laundry Centre, by Fernanda Villanueva & Arturo Ariño - literally inspired by the recycling logo both in form and function. The 3 units include a washer, dryer and a water tank/filtration system. Minimal water is used, & dirty water is recycled.

The Nabana no Sato theme park in Kuwana, Japan, has set up approximately 4.5 million flower-themed LEDs for the annual winter light show. The show is scheduled to run until 03/08/09.

Love the 2F folding chair by Hannu Khnen of Crea Design - made from a single piece of birch that has minimal waste and can be stored flat.

Interesting furniture from Lars Contzen's System Crash series.

Beautiful bird seed bags for All Season Wild Bird Store by Imagehaus.

We Made This showcases their lucky find of one of Adam Neate's prints from his "London Show" - on 11/14/08, Adam claimed the streets of London as his gallery and scattered 1000 editioned artworks around London, rethinking the idea of the 'private view'.

Gorgeous PCs from Plush Department, including new limited edition Pure* Art PCs, with designs commissioned from Zender, Delft Blue, Mijn Schatje, Piet Boon (in concrete!), and Edward van Vliet.

Christopher Bettig of theMountainLabel makes these awesome laser etched drawings of Richie Tenenbaum (from the Royal Tenenbaums). The figures can be made from poplar, oak, or ash and are around 12 inches tall.

Turn your iPhone into a numeric keypad for your notebook - NumberKey, by Balmuda Design.

Interesting project, 'Touching Strangers', by Richard Renaldi, where he photographs (you guessed it) strangers touching. Some are awkward, some aren't.

Nice collage drawings by Weston Takeshi Teruya.

Skeet Wang's Meltain eraser - an eraser that reminds us of the significant effect dirty snow has on global warming. Dirty snow absorbs more of the sun’s heat and therefore melts more quickly.

Love these "still lifes in the style of colour-shifted 3-dimensional images" by A Nice Idea Every Day.

Sebastian Bergne has a new exhibit called 'Cru' at the Aram Gallery featuring his amazing 'Corked' series of decanting and serving vessels. The exhibit will run in London from 11/28/08 to 01/10/09.

Love the base detail of Demacker Design's Take.Off Series.

The George Console by Oly Studio has an Eiffel-tower-like metal base with the option of a resin or shell top.

The DogPot by Young-Long Choi is about as hands-off and pleasant as you can get when walking your dog - a recyclable alternative to the plastic bag, and it keeps your hands from getting dirty!

Yoon-Hui Kim and Eun-Kyung Kim's Solar Vertical Lamp is envisioned as being integrated into window blinds that are powered by solar energy during daylight hours, which can then be used to light a room at night.

Love this intricate t-shirt design by Paramodel, called Huge Tokyo Mansion.

Yuri Majic's conceptual design for a limited-edition Orangina bottle - designed around the French catchphrase "C'est la vie", and incorporating lyrics from Alanis Morissette's Ironic.

Alejandro Chavetta's awesome collage work.

Karim Rashid's Happy People glassware is designed to be reversible - eg. a margarita glass that becomes a shot glass when reversed. Love all of the contrasting shapes.
