Chromatic RPM prints.
What an amazing gift for an audiophile. Prints of the artist's grandfather's LP collection. Gorgeous.

Chick-a-Dee Smoke Detector.
Seriously cute.
The Chick-a-Dee smoke detector was selected as the winning design in a design contest organized by the Union of Dutch Insurance Companies in the Netherlands in the fall of 2006. The design was selected out of 50 entries sent by industrial designers at universities all over the Netherlands because of its combined functionality and design.
The Chick-a-Dee takes its name and appearance from the American Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapilla). This name is a tribute to its warning call, the phonetic Chickadee sound. At the smallest threat, the bird calls chick-a-dee-dee, and in more serious circumstances, the call becomes a loud dee-dee-dee sound. As soon as smoke is detected a 85 db alarm signal is activated. Under normal conditions, a control light flashes once a minute. The Chick-a-Dee can be tested by pressing the test button.

BirdProject Soap.
Such a perfect concept. Environmentally-friendly, detoxifying, charcoal-activated black soap that degrades as you use it to reveal a lovely white ceramic bird. Half the profits go to cleanup and care of animals affected by the BP oil spill.
Through the daily act of washing, you will eventually free the clean, white, ceramic birds inside - potent symbols of restoration and recovery. The soap is shaped to be cradled in your hand and is a powerful representation of all creatures affected by the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Disaster.
The soaps are made with natural, locally sourced ingredients: biodiesel glycerin, fair trade olive oil, aloe, activated black charcoal, and a light cypress scent - reminiscent of Louisianan bayous. They are made by Emily Manger Davis of Sweet Olive Soaps, a third generation soapmaker from New Orleans.

I'm guessing most people can relate to this birthday card by Fomato. I certainly can.

Cuckoo clock.
Retro tick-tock chirps modern in asymmetrical white wood composite under hi-gloss burnt orange roof. Aluminum hands countdown every 15 to little white birdie tweeting on the hour from circular cutout. Fully finished in back to float on consoles and open shelves.

The ULTRA 10.
I hate clothes shopping, so I *love* this idea – just buy an entire wardrobe of essentials at once. (Kinda like grown-up Garanimals.)
10 Pieces, 365 Days
A core wardrobe of ten pieces for your year made of organic and recycled fabrics.

Honey Badger mugs.
Okay. EASILY my favorite product this week. Brilliant.
Honey Badger SET of 6 mugs by corduroy on Etsy
p.s. If you have no idea what this is about, you'll need to Google "honey badger." And, if you don't like swearing, you will not like what you see.

Karton Group Cardboard Furniture
This kind of makes me want to never buy real furniture again. (But I'm sure that would pass the first time my cats started chewing on it.) Anyway, VERY cool.
