Toothpicks aren't glamorous but they beat food in the teeth. Instead of hiding them in a drawer, these porcupines allow guests to help themselves as needed. The Suck UK Pick UR Pine by Studio Mango is available at Greener Grass Design. Holding 29 sticks, the porcupines are made from food-grade silicone and available for $18 each.
I love freshly cut pineapple but it's a pain to start from scratch. The Vacu Vin Stainless Steel Pineapple Easy Slicer allows you to ignore the outer-layer while getting rid of the solid core. I've always thought Williams-Sonoma had already released every possibly kitchen tool possible but here's one to add to the collection. The slicer was found on The Fancy and available for $14.62 at Amazon.com.
These pieces from the Umka & Kera for World Wildlife Fund Project are (unfortunately) not for sale but the designs are great and have endless possibilities (given multiple sizes); they would be perfect as paperweights, souvenirs, keychains, centerpieces, public sculptures, etc. Found on The Fancy, you can read more at atelier29.
As graduation nears and I search for housing, I've been trying to find new decorations for a new home. The posters below come from two collections found on Minimalissimo, "a blog that celebrates minimalism" across multiple platforms. The first poster comes from Donna Wearmouth while the latter two were created by Andrea Gallo. All three, including the rest of their collections, would be great decorations that feature some of the most famous architects (all have been mentioned on this blog) without being too distracting.

The Jensen Steel Elephant Bottle Opener, designed by the Jacob Jensen Group, is small by nature but worthy of greater recognition. Simple and elegantly designed, the opener was found on The Fancy and available for $55 on Amazon through FJORN Scandinavian. If you enjoy Jacob Jensen's designs, check out the previously featured Telephone 3 and World Timer.
I recently discovered a plethora of websites dedicated to designing and selling modern reinterpretations of movie posters. The number of sites seem endless but I've featured a few of my favorite. Browse the websites and bring a few home.

These vintage bus blinds -- and various others -- are available on Rokett St George and priced from £210.00 to £985.00. Bringing the authentic urban landscape into your home is expensive but the decorations can add a unique decoration to any room.
