we try to stay clear of extension cables as far as possible, simply because they are downright unsightly but if there’s one that looks as good as the Anouk Extension Cable By Christopher Thetard, we wouldn’t hesitate to locate our electrical powered devices away from the wall outlets. of course, we wouldn’t do that on…
who doesn’t love a game of (sometime violent) foosball? we know we do and as you may have guessed, as a slave to style, a classic foosball table that’s predominantly wood is not going to cut it unless you have a hillbilly pub set up in your pad but that’s beside the point. the point is, a contemporary home deserves a foosball table that matches it and as such, going with a stainless…
usually kids outgrow their toys pretty quick but there are some toys that just wouldn’t let that happen. case in point: LEGO bricks. these myriad of tiny blocks offer kids to adults endless construction configurations and when you finally outgrown it, it came back haunting you with functional home goods like these table lamps made by Sean Kenny, a “professional kid” who happens…
as far back as the late 1800s, flashlight’s design has been largely cylindrical in shape and that design hasn’t changed much since, albeit modern day equivalents are more industrial-looking with aluminum or even titanium construction and uses more powerful LED elements. and hence, as sophisticated or how ever expensive they are, these lights-in-tube are pretty much still the…

funny that we never actually noticed but we have a quite a bunch of tiny objects that we stashed in our bags that seem almost bottomless when we tried to dig for them. of course, there are better solutions than dumping everything into one huge bag such as having individual pouches or containers to hold them. however, if you want to keep your wee items away from the elements…
