Poppy Petunia approves this message - Doggles are JUST COOL!
Even black out shades can be entertaining and this unique handmade roller curtain by Elina Aalto from Fiasco Design certainly is. It can be custom made in different city views from Tokyo to Helsinki to The Big Apple.
hmmm...never thought I'd be saying that roller blinds were JUST COOL but this one just is!
Transparency is what this architectural beauty is all about! This see- through Woodside Bay home was designed by Hillery Priest Architects and is anchored to the site with three solid towers that are bridged by a floating pavilion allowing for magnificent unobstructed views from every angle.

Fooled ya! These aren't really rocks , but the comfortable creations of Ronel Jordaan. This South African textile designer takes her inspiration from nature, and uses felt to give free rein to her imagination. Socially conscious as well as gifted, Jordaan has set up a women's workshop in Gauteng- Johannesburg-where her personally trained artisans transform interlocking fibers, made from 100% merino wool, into these freeform oversized "stone" floor cushions. Though they may fool the eye, they provide immediately recognizable comfort to weary torsos in search of a relaxing seat.
Soft yet buoyant, the veined, smooth textured cushions can be arranged to support seat and back. Children love them. Parents love them. Guests love them, too. Hand washable in cold water. See more of Ronel Jordaan's creations at her website here.
For Geek Dad Kevin Kelly, all it took was five years worth of saved styrofoam, lots of silicone glue, a foam cutter, inspiration from a North Carolina Museum and his building partner son to construct this StyroBot that stands almost 7 foot tall and weighs less than twenty pounds. It took many months to build but what a nifty project for father and son, don't you think?

The lightweight and compact design coupled with the soft carrying case make the LightWedge Reading Light the perfect gift for that reader on your gift list or for you!
Holeder Earphones - a design concept from Yoonsang Kim. The attractive shape is multipurposed, fitting snugly in your ear, and hooking together around your neck when not in use.

World-Renowned architects Pelli Clarke Pelli conceived its streamlined contours by focusing in how The Visionaire will be experienced from within, optimizing natural light and river and city views. A curved curtain wall;; horizontal bands of terra cotta panels and glass casement windows infuses the elegant verticality of the exteriors with the warm residential character of Battery Park City. The Visionaire builds on Pelli Clarke Pelli’s integrated approach and deep understanding of sustainable architecture, refining a relatively new field into an art.
The Visionaire is located at the southern tip of Battery Park City, a 92-acre community with 35 acres of open park space bordering the Hudson River. Battery Park City was planned to afford its residents a resort-like life in close proximity to water and easy access to midtown stores, museums and restaurants, the works financial Center, Wall Street, city Hall and Tribeca. Many of our purchasers describe their life in Battery Park City as a gated community without the gates-there us nowhere else in NYC with this type of access to parklands and water. The train lines servicing all five NYC’s boroughs are within five-minute walk and the highways on the East and West sides of Manhattan as well as the ferries traveling to and from Staten Island and New Jersey, are all conveniently accessible. The Building is sited with spectacular views of the Hudson, New York Harbor, The statue of Liberty and soon, the Freedom Towers of the New World Trade Center as well as dazzling city views of both NYC and New Jersey.
