Love the Light Blubs by Pieke Bergmans - a series of unique, often site specific crystal lamps. Pieke has imagined a series of projects infected by the "Design Virus" which can be found on his website.

Expressionist Bass - nice looking desktop sub-woofers by Altec Lansing.

Interesting pixelated facade by Splitterwerk for the Prisma Engineering. The interiors are worth a look, as well.

Tap'dNY is a bottled water for the new age: an honest and local alternative for all New Yorkers. They purify and bottle New York City's famous tap water, leaving out the malarkey and far journey included in other bottled waters.

Beautiful portraits of Sikh-Americans by Fiona Aboud.

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

Beautiful packaging portfolio by Esther Chaye. Above is CMYK, packaging for a DIY Mix Acrylic Paint set.

I love the Roto family by motion designer Yann le Coroller. See his other sweet character, Carl, on post 5439.

One of two beautiful new prints by Ah-Yi illustrating the story of Princess Kavalan, the only daughter of the Dragon King of the East Sea, and her forbidden romance with the Turtle General Lusheng.

Super gorgeous photos of Iceland by Tim Gasperak. The landscape of Iceland looks so unique and lunar...these photos make me want to hop on a plane and lie in a spring somewhere...

Barca chair by Jacob Joergensen.

Very cute elephant bookshelf from DwellStudio Baby.

Dirk Winkel's Minai Chair. The central aluminum bars allow different kind of shells (wood or upholstered aluminum) to be clamped in.

Charlotte Skene-Catling converted an old dairy into a five bedroom home with a bathing pool. I like the way the wood exterior references traditional barns but allows a tremendous amount of light into the house.

Labware lamps - just one product from Benjamin Hubert's newest line debuting at 100% Futures next week.

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

Siri Brekke's fruit bowls are made out of ceramic and playfully take on the appearance both of a bowl and of the fruit they're meant to hold.

Malin Lundmark's new MagBag...a magazine holder designed to look like a handbag.

Concrete tableware from Alexa Lixfeld.

Offbeat paper goods by Letterpress Delicacies.

Japan's answer to the Lomo is the Blackbird, Fly - a split-frame camera from Superheadz that shoots square images on 35mm film. They are priced at $100 and will be available some time this month.

An interesting renovation of a building in Cádiz, Spain by MGM Arquitectos. Love the contrasting plywood shutters and white walls. The use of plywood is interesting, as it is the material typically used to board up buildings while construction is in progress.

B-Scanner by Sungwoo Park & Bongkun Shin. This is a handy little device I hope becomes more than just a prototype - it's a portable business card scanner and portable Rolodex...

Interesting typographic experimentation by Daniël Maarleveld.

You relax in the bathtub as well as in a chair. Baek-Ki Kim's Seatub explores the similarities between two disctinct every day objects to create an interesting chair.

New Lydia Fong - AKA Barry McGee - solo exhibition "A Moment for Reflection" at Ratio 3 in San Francisco, until October 18.

Frida Jeppsson’s Brilliant ring for the Bombay Sapphire Designer Glass Awards. I love the ridiculous size and the way it references both a diamond and a cocktail glass.

I'm so bummed that these are sold out - a pair of Dorthe Alstrup's photos on 20x200.

Interesting tableware by Piet Hein Eek- almost looks like they are inside out.

Love the illustrative work of Ryan McLennan. His website is full of goodness.

James Owen's Clip Chair - I like the side profile better than the front, but I definitely dig that there is the possibility of storing magazines underneath the seat.

New work by Richard Saja of Historically Inaccurate - he's reworked his Frankentoile concept, and I love the recontextualized imagery.

Odd but interesting "Skin of the City" t-shirts by SQY-T.

Heart & Design is staging an auction to benefit the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospital Charitable Fund. A bunch of great work is being auctioned, including pieces from Matthew Williamson, Tom Dixon, Marcel Wanders & Karl Lagerfeld.

Interesting workshop, 'Darkmark', on experimental type, run by the Dutch design studio Underware. Attendees were asked to create type with shadows, with lots of interesting results.

Mark Robson's Kolorado Collection - made of ebony-stained beechwood. I love the fluid base most of all.

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.

Cammeo, by Louise Campbell - a collection of bone china jars, held together by colorful rubber bands, designed for Kähler.

Tokujin Yoshioka's Honey-Pop chair - love that it can be flattened down to next to nothing.

Studio Mono's new identity for Kingsbury Press. Love the simplicity and the colors. Lots more great work to be found on their website.

Jennifer Anderson's Drove chair. I like the faceted seat.

If you are in Paris 9/30- 1/11 stop by the "Mingei Spirit in Japan, From Folk Craft to Design" at the Musée du Quai Branly. The exhibit showcases the work of Japan's artist-craftsmen, a dying tradition with today's mass-production methods.

Love the guerrilla nature of Paprika's stationary for Auberge de la Gatineau.

Tobias Berneth created the Thinner Table - perhaps the worlds thinnest table at only 6mm thick. It comes in a variety of veneer finishes: oak, birch, walnut, white laminate, and black-stained oak.
