Izola’s 24-ounce stainless steel cocktail shakers are engraved in four different themes guaranteed to draw attention to your bar and kitchen.

Kinfolk Magazine can be described in one word: beautiful. As you turn each page, you become more and more engrossed in the endless string of wonderful photography and writings. The whole magazine itself seems effortless. It’s impeccable balance of things like color and negative space is remarkable. Really well done.
Lamps Made From Coffee Grounds Smell Like Fresh Java
“Some folks just can’t get out of bed until the scent of freshly brewed java comes wafting in from the kitchen, but Raúl Laurí’s Decafe fixtures achieve the same aromatic effect on their own, with or without the flip of a switch. The Spanish designer experimented for two years with various culinary techniques to perfect Decafe’s composite biodegradable material, a unique combination of coffee grounds and natural glue.”
I love when designers mix metallics and matte colors. It creates a really elegant and sophisticated look. Pair that with a beautifully executed label, and you’ve got a winner.
“We were looking for something that was consistent with our brand. Our chocolate is only made of beans and sugar, with no added emulsifiers or flavorings, so we wanted our packaging to also feel very real, but also elegant and special for customers.”

I love this collection of pet furniture by Chimère. It so impeccably designed, it would look fantastic in any apartment.
“In a meticulously appointed apartment, pets pose a daunting design problem: How to distract attention away from plastic cat-litter boxes, wire cages, and tattered dog beds. Chimère, a French company specializing in contemporary pet furniture, takes an altogether different approach, with a collection of high-end, superbly crafted pieces that will make your Design Within Reach sofa look like a thrift-store buy.”
“This is CUPPOW - our solution for easier drinking from a canning jar. The canning jar already makes an awesome platform for a travel mug: it’s easy to clean, made of heat-resistant glass, cheap, durable, and when sealed it doesn’t leak. The only problem is that with their large openings, canning jars are not great for spill-free sipping while on the move. So we adapted it - made a new lid that lets us drink like a boss from virtually any wide-mouth canning jar. It’s a simple eco-friendly alternative to poor-performing and messy disposable hot cups, and over-built and expensive travel mugs.”

[As a means of promotion and dissemination, the workshop ”BangBang“ created matchbooks, a medium somewhat neglected, featuring three of their signatures. Screen-printed on the outside, these boxes contain the website and phone number as communication.]
