Talking about weird creatures… can you guess what it is?

Is there anyone else besides me who has this urge to jump right in the middle of this thing? Cause then they would be right, since this crocheted tentacle proliferation, Snork by the german PYG, is a chair. And in the tentacles you can hide your favourite things.

As they write on the website: take a can of beer, a remote control (or a laptop?), and you would never want to leave again.

It’s interesting when the thing you’re supposed to stare at is staring back at you.

This tiny little TV that fits in your hand is a Sony concept TV.

It’s soft, it’s small, it’s weird and it’s one (big) eyed. I want it.

We’ve seen enough weird umbrellas, but this one most be the most unusual of them all!

Shuella is an umbrella made to save your shoes from bad weather. They are available in black and fun colours, they are easy to put on or remove, and after the rain, you can simply put them in your pocket.

I don’t know how this stays still, but it certainly made me want to keep some flowers at home.

I think we should all buy one and then we should organise a flashmob!

It is - or at the moment was available at Shop Ecko.

We did grow out of it eventually, but I know some of you still sleep with their teddy bears! Ours are watching by the bed. Have you had any embarrassing moments when others found out you still carried your teddy bear everywhere? Time to avoid it.

It’s an average looking pillow…

…but if you turn it inside out…

…it transforms into a teddy bear!

The secret Wollip Bear is the work of Maja Ganszyniec.

Who needs the office on the top floor with those huge windowns? All I need is the Globus!

Closed, it could also be a great interior design item. But when it’s open, it transforms into a mobile personal workspace, with a comfortable chair and a pull out table top. The design, that reminds us of the space age era is the work of Michiel van der Kley from 2007.

My favourite project from last year was the Everything Is OK caution tape by MINE. Let’s just say it found me at the right time.

This year, you can vote for the design at the People Design Award, and even though the competition is big, we did cast our vote.

And if you feel like spreading good news, you can get your own activist kit for only 16 dollars.

We know everyone is back to school already, but if you’re still looking for that perfect notebook,we can help you!

The group MonoBlock from Argentina gathered 17 artists to create the ‘Happy Together, Live the Love‘ notebook series.

The motto is clear: “where there’s love, there’s freedom, and if there’s love and freedom, there’s creation”. 

I’m sorry in advance if it’s only me, but I got really excited seeing these shorts: the answer to all my questions. They’re on the top of my wishlist at the moment!

GymGirl Ultra, in every size and in five colours.

We already wrote about cute paper clips, now we show you another lovely office accessory: these organizer tabs.

They’re cleverly named Smile-It by the designer, J Story. The website is in korean, so it’s easy to get lost on it, but it’s worth it if you like stationary as much as we do!

You must have heard about the legendary eastern german car, the Trabant. Now you can own one.

As a candle holder. After all, both produces smoke. Lots of it.

The designer is Maxim Velčovský.

I love emergency kits, let it be a real emergency, sadness or a camping far from civilization, because I never know what to pack anyway. And for daily use, here’s the Shemergency Survival Kit.

It might look small, but it contains 24 items, such as a folding hair brush with mirror, hair spray, clear elastics, earring backs, hand lotion, nail clipper, a mending kit, a safety pin, lipbalm, and I stop here. Buy it.

How does the perfect keyboard look like? Exactly like this.

The Space Invaders flexible keyboard might be a perfect present as well, especially since it is available in a girlier, less black version.

We all have to learn to appreciate little things, to see the beauty in the details. Like Mi-So Sim does.

And to show us, he designed these sweet paper clips. YOu can choose one according to your mood, to your feelings or to your intentions.

It’s just a tiny thing, but it makes us smile.

I still can’t afford everything I see, but if I had only one choice, I would definitely choose to get one of these. I would be so happy I wouldn’t want anything else ever again. Not for a while, anyway.

The cute mushroom pillows are by the german brand Blutsgeschwister whose name I have no idea whatsoever how to pronounce. Besides these, there are many other cute home decoration items on their site, as well as cute and trendy clothing, that would deserve its own seperate post.

These should be great housemates.

You would never feel alone. This monitoring apparatus lamp was designed by aliens iLoomi.

Not for the paranoids.

Now that after a long break I have to get up early again, all I want is some chocolate to comfort me.

Once every hour, of course. Combine work with pleasure, only for 20 pounds. Because I’m worth it.
