Screwhead and Dovetail Tape by Josh Rubin
Shift designers Richard Shed and Sam Johnson created these tape rolls for last year's London Design Festival. They are both a tongue-in-cheek look at modern versus traditional structural solutions. Conceptual explorations aside, they make for some fun packaging.
Limited availability, contact Richard Shed for more information.
Thanks, Greg!

Atypyk
Like a cross between Duchamp and Archie McPhee, the French company Atypyk makes witty, conceptual gifts that play on everyday objects. My personal history with the company dates back to 2003 when I visited their Paris studio and Ivan Duval (one-half of the Atypyk team) regaled me with stories and sent me home with a Cowstick, a sticker kit that transforms a refrigerator into...

Lace Tape
Call it a transnational tape-off, two designers, one from the East coast and the other from the West, both recently came out with a roll of packing tape printed with lace. San Francisco collective Boiler's design pictured right, features a design printed to the edge that can be doubled up for a fancy pattern and we like how the application here recalls the femi-graffiti...

Active Furniture
Active Furniture, a project by Spanish designers Virginia Pol, Ferran Lajara and Cristina Guardiola, uses counter-intuitive design as an antidote to our increasingly sedentary lives. The three objects—a floor lamp, a desk and a wall hanger—each require a level of exertion on the user's part to function. The floor lamp must be held upright, both to illuminate the bulb and keep the lamp vertical....

OuTable
OuTable, a collection of conceptual plastic utensils for outdoor dining, brings the poetry of nature to such humble items as the spoon. Designed by the clever Israeli-based firm d-Vision, the "neo-naturist" project takes inspiration from the simple beauty of eating outdoors with friends or family. With varying shapes and sizes that echo the organic forms found in nature, the collection also speaks to an...

Frederik Roijé: Two of a Kind Ring
Bucking nearly every Valentine's Day gift cliché out there by dispensing with traditional materials, colors, ornamentation and the like, this porcelain double ring is a minimalist piece of jewelry that still packs a sweetly sentimental punch. Designed by Dutch designer Frederik Roijé and produced by Droog, "in breaking the ring an engagement with each other will exist." We can't think of a more elegant...

Francesco Sommacal: 360
Adrenaline nuts searching for the latest extreme sport have a new toy, the 360. A recent recipient of a the Red Dot luminary design award, the 360 simulates the mechanics of snowboarding, surfing or skating, using a pair of wheels connected by a flexible, highly adjustable crossbar. The innovative design places the rider's feet inside the hole at the center of each orbital wheel....
