Cool Hunting
Combining the performance of a fork and knife in a single utensil The Knork was conceived as a solution for eating pizza but has developed into a versatile tool aiming to revolutionize the dining experience. With an edge sharp enough to cut through many foods—but too dull to cut your mouth—and a finger platform for comfort, the Knork is available in various grades of stainless steel as well as heavy-duty reuseable and disposable plastic. Perfect for picnics and camping, yet classy enough for restaurants or home dining, Knorks can also serve as a great asset to the disabled or for busy mutli-taskers who need a free arm while eating. Starting at $4.50 for a single stainless steel Knork or $1.50 for a set of four in reusable plastic, they are available from Knork or Amazon.

Created by industrial designer Mathieu Lehanneur and Harvard professor David Edwards in 2007, Andrea was one of several concepts by the designer to be featured in MoMA's critically-acclaimed exhibition, Design and the Elastic...
Portland-based husband and wife designers Dominic D'Andrea and Tram Pham have just launched their ceramic Nature planter. The unique design requires a six-part mold and seventeen cuts and is hand finished. There are eleven areas for planting and the largest one on the top is long enough for deep-rooting plants. The Nature planter (18" tall and 22" wide) comes in white, yellow and grey...
The Sèvres Vase Clock, a prototype by Georgios Maridakis, indicates the hour with an audible knock. Just place the vase of your choice on the brass and wood stand and the hammer will strike the vase each hour. Each vase makes a different sound, but adding different amounts of water for different pitches and notes takes it one step further. The modern take on...

by Sawyer Trice Bringing a little more joy to the humble act of cleaning and maintaining the home, Newport Beach's Alice Supply Company focuses on the process more than the end result. Their line of “hip housewares” still manages to get the job done, but brings a little flair to it with products like a lime green dustpan with pink and orange stripes. Other...
