Forknelt

Genius in a fork! I am aware how excited I am getting over a fork but it's really a stroke of genius. What ruins tabletops and cloths? Fork prongs staining them. Ok not quite the dilemma of the year but it's pretty and practical - not unlike myself...

I can't find these available to buy as yet, but you can still gaze at them here.

Our Latest Arrival!

No it's not a baby - I have enough of a challenge feeding a 27 year old man! It's our shiny new espresso machine, signifying our move from 'people living in a house' to yuppies or dinkys! ('Young Urban Professionals' and 'Double Income No Kids') We managed to nab a bargain at a shop closing down - who said the recession is all bad, no we can't get a mortgage but we can drink espresso.

It also means our makeshift 'design house' has espresso to offer it's visitors - not that Egbert doesn't make an excellent cup of tea...

Excellent Waste of Time

When you hate your job and want to waste a long afternoon in the office (like me every day) look no further than the brilliant aM Laboratory's 'Tone Matrix'. Difficult to describe but it makes synthesizer tunes using pretty patters - it's so addictive I've wasted a whole lunch hour on it. Check it out here.

Polar Expedition

Oh It's been a while since I've wanted something so much that is so extremely impractical. I's the polar bear bookshelf called the Joe Bookshelf created by French designers - and design heroes - Ibride.

It's a mere £2,125 so maybe I'll get two....

Available if you're either drunk or rich or both from madeindesign.com

Father's Day

It's approaching fast and I've the perfect idea an Alt Mug available from Suck UK.For my golf obsessed father it's definitely the putting mug - job done. Sigh of relief.
