Julian Wolkenstein's photographs of styled horses.

Enjoying the distorted forms of Michael Anastassiades Three Champagne Glasses and One Water Glass.

Tabula Rossa soaps by Megan Cummins - "You smell...like a lemon." I like the play on Tabula Rasa, "clean slate" in Latin.

A brushed aluminum wine bottle for Elk & Wolf by Social UK.

Nendo's Socket Deers - electrical outlet covers that you can rest your phone on as it charges - plus they look super cool! They are covered with a urethane rubber that keeps the phone from slipping and protects the antlers from breaking when bumped.

A necklace from Paraphernalia's soon to be released Victoriana Collection. Gorgeous!

Just a smidgen too late for thanksgiving but just in time for all of your upcoming holiday feasts - Fabrica's Roast Meat Dome.

Oppenheim Architecture's design for the Vault - an art storage facility for Artemundi & Company in Miami. The facade will display artwork by emerging and established artists.

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.

Masahiro Minami's Glory light.

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.

Interesting Chaos and Order installation at the Kobe Biennale by 000studio.

The facade of the Auditorio Ciudad de Leon by Mansilla+Tuñón plays with view and perspective in a beautiful way.

Gorgeous retro packaging from Hyperakt for Miss Jessie's cosmetics.

Gorgeous photos on Ferit Kuyas's website, particularly from the City of Ambition project, a documentation of the rise of the Chinese city Chongqiang.

Grosfeld van der Velde's S House. I like how the glass volume slips through the side facade.

BVD designed the nicest permanent marker for the Japanese store Askul that you ever did see...

Crazy wire frame jewelry by Ines Schwotzer, using weaving and braiding techniques.

Sigur Rós put out a delux edition of their fifth and latest album, Meó suó í eyrum vió spilum endalaust. The book is full of fun goodies, including 200 pages of artsy photos, a DVD shot in Super 8 of the band on the road and, of course, the CD of the album itself.

Some interesting "jewelry" by Jo Cope - the 'Non-collar' is designed to create the illusion of formality and conformity. 'Hand-bag' creates a visual extension to the arm when held.

Chris Kirby's Spiral Lamp is reminiscent of paper lanterns (and the design was in fact developed in paper). The lamp is made from a single sheet of slit material which is then bent to mesh together with itself.

A collaboration between Reona Ueda and Newwork - a wearable piece of art inspired by the traditional Japanese hair ornament, kanzashi.

I am digging the very simple packaging by Due Mani Non Bastano for Pandora Design's cutlery (post 6429).

Polish design firm moomoo created this home for photographer Szymon Szcześniak. The exterior patio can be closed off for privacy with a large curtain. The curtain also makes for a very dynamic facade when blowing in the wind.

Crazy renderings of MVRDV's winning proposal for the city center of Gwanggyo, a Korean town, which incorporates greenery into the buildings.

Gary Allson's wooden bowls & utensils have a really nice feel to them - the grain gives the bowls the illusion of being thicker and rounder than they are.

Alfredo Häberli's very lovely Los Bancos Suizos.

Jean Nouvel's aquatic complex Les Bains des Docks, recently opened in Le Havre, France.

Love this print by Jon McNaught of a monster walking through a town - I like that the lit houses are opposite what I expect them to be - rather than a trail of destruction the monster leaves a trail of light.

H&M is releasing a very nice looking home collection, which will only be available online, starting in February.

Enjoying the slight curve of the Method Lounge by Davis Furniture.
