We’re pretty sure almost no one enjoys washing dishes, but we’re positive that this dish drainer from Ernest Perera ($146 USD) will make up for it, and add some pleasure to this mundane task! Made of wood and melamine this sleek design, smoothly assembles and disassembles for easy of storage. And not to worry if you forget to put it away, it will look fantastic sitting on your counter as well!
We love all our gadgets, but it seems like our wires are always getting tangled – soooo frustrating! Luckily we found Naoto Yoshida’s ingenious WrapWrap wire management system ($17 USD). WrapWrap is designed to keep all of your small wires (e.g. iPod, iPhone or phone chargers) in check and neatly organized. Made from scrap wood salvaged from furniture manufactures, this organizer cuts down on excess in more than one way.
Fortunately, we’ve outgrown our piggy bank, and luckily we have found a more sophisticated and mature way to store our spare change. The Ideaco & Associates Coin Storage ($32 USD) serves double-duty holding our loose coins while its unique bowl shape is perfect for placing our keys, lipgloss or anything else we may need to empty from our pockets. The wooden bottom easily pops open so we can retrieve change for our morning coffee or sunday newspaper.
Whether you’re a morning person or not, trust us, you’ll love waking up to this unique alarm clock. The Emily Alarm Clock ($129 USD) mounts vertically onto the wall so that you can easily read the time with your head still resting on the pillow while trying to catch those last few blinks of sleep. The red LED display, walnut base and brushed aluminum casing make this clock a modern minimalist masterpiece.
Based out of the UK, Rockett St. George has the most wonderful selection of handcrafted wooden vintage signs – we couldn’t resist the “Every Day I Love You” Sign ($378 USD) framed with reclaimed aged wood. Each vintage sign is unique, signed by the artist and made to order. Say no to that mass-produced pseudo art that Ikea sells!
