Designer Screen Printed Solar Cells

Via DesignFlute, I found out about designer screen printed solar cells. ‘Instead of mounting the solar module on the roof, it could be integrated in the glass façade of a building. It is possible to produce it in desired colours, print images or text on the module.’

Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player

‘Newly available in the United States, this minimalist wall-mounted CD player features a single speaker built into the player’s case. Sleek and functional, the player’s power cord hangs straight down and turns the unit on and off with a simple tug.’

Ann Sacks

I was exploring what was under my rugs the other day and was quite disappointed to find that there is not hardwood in my foyer. Then I came upon this picture of a gorgeously tiled entry, and now I’d love to see my foyer tiled.

I don’t have the patience for that mosiac and was on LotusHaus today and saw a tile by Ann Sacks that might do the job quite nicely if it wasn’t so expensive! I’d like the black and white zigzag paccha for the foyer but liked the others as well.

I am taking some time off between now and September but do check in as I will do a few posts over my break.

Wireless Earphones

I have a pair of wireless earphones, but they are the kind that wrap around the back of my head and I kind of hate them. I’d much prefer this pair which look to be similiar to ear buds and they are a lot cheaper than the pair I currently have….if only I had known…

Convertible Compact Desk

This compact desk from Crate & Barrel ‘looks like a 30″ cabinet but converts to a 55″ full-size desk, making it a clever solution for studio apartments and multipurpose rooms. A quick slide of its top panel reveals hard-working amenities. When open, the top of the cabinet reveals generous storage space for a laptop, plus cubbies with removable dividers to stow paper clips, rubber bands and other smalls. Cord cutouts in back let you charge iPods, laptop and cell phones. Below are a storage drawer and one letter- and legal-size file.’

The Perdur lid to this tape dispenser by Norman Foster pushed the tape up for use. When removed, the tape sinks down, allowing the box to be covered by the lid.

Eva Solo Balancing Act Waste Bin

‘You can open it the Balancing Act Waste Bin by Eva Solo from any point around the rim and the lid is designed so that when it’s flipped up, it balances on the rim until you tip it closed. It’s a little bit magic and kind of makes throwing trash away fun.’

Planters

I’d seen the round over the balcony planters awhile ago but wasn’t taken with them enough to post them. Now I see they have a square and rectanglar version that I like a lot better.

Wood Placemats

So I posted the Wood Coasters the other day and saw that the same site sold Wood Placements. I liked the coasters better and didn’t think about the placemats again until I saw a post on Apartment Therapy showing them used as a window treatment.

AT lists the source of the wood placemats as Hygge, however the ones I found are by Sarah Finn and they look very similiar to me.

Mood Bracelet

I’m not sure if this is a mood bracelet in the typical American sense, similar to a mood ring, but I’d like it even more if it was.

Mood is a dashing bracelet plaited with nylon, designed and handmade in Denmark by designer Nané Køllgaard. Available in red, transparent and black.

‘Sarah Finn brings her architectural sensibility and woodworkers skills to the humble coaster, playing with flowers and patterns to create this coaster set. Laser cut and stained, these dark chunks of ornamented wood provide a base for the libation of your choice. Sturdy (even though they look delicate), and wipeable. Set of 8 (two of each design).’
