Not a big fan of vases, unless they are sculptural like this one. The Pik Vase is part of the modern craft collection by the trio behind France’s Y’a Pas Le Feu Au Lac, a popular phrase that loosely translates as “no need to hurry.”
I love my glass carafes but dread the cumbersome cleaning. The Rig Tig Carafe Cleaner seems to offer a stylish and simple solution. Fill the carafe with water and dish soap, put the Rig Tig chain into the water and shake the carafe. The chain will loosen up the calcium without damaging the glass. No scratches – only clean glass! The carafe cleaner comes in a nice and stylish holder. Brilliantly simple, no?

I just nearly fell off my chair. In a package that was just delivered here at my studio, I discovered a Silk Bacon Scarf, named Fou Lard. We just all had a good laugh, but my Studiomates agreed, this is so utterly ridiculous it’s awesome. Fou Lard is a brainchild of Swiss designer Natalie Luder. The scarf is made of 100% silk, digitally printed and hemmed by the artist herself. Available on her site for $170. Bacon lovers unite!
