Graft: Kanera 1 E Sink
(19 August 2008) - Slated to open Spring 2009, the new W New York Downtown Hotel and Residences brings a number of media-worthy gems (a $2,000 per square foot pricetag, for example), but this stunning sink by Graft, the building's award-winning interior designers, is what caught our attention. Looking at the bathroom as "a place of purification, relaxation, revitalization and timelessness, "Graft came up with the 1 E...
Dyson Airblade
(12 August 2008) - Dyson's futuristic Airblade hand dryer has been around for about a year. It seems awfully good on paper (faster dry time, more hygienic and increased energy efficiency over conventional driers) but we needed to see it to believe it. So, to test the Airblade's claims, we installed a couple in our office. And after a few months of dry hands and conserved paper towels,...
Biggs & Featherbelle Body Care
(05 May 2008) - Before my friends at Biggs & Featherbelle urged me to try their Muscle Soak, I'd never been a fan of baths. Their inventive mix of Ginger, Alfalfa, and woodsy essential oils took me somewhere else. The no-synthetics and their packaging are equally inventive pluses for the body care company....
Granado
(01 May 2008) - Since 1870, Rio de Janeiro-based Granado has been incorporating local and natural ingredients in their hair care items, soap and lotions which come in different varieties to address specific beauty battles. One of my favorites is the Castanha de Brasil line which is specially made with chestnuts from the Amazon that help to heal dry skin and hair—the remedy was first used by indigenous...

Most toiletry bags are made of soft collapsible fabrics which are great for conserving space in luggage, but don't provide much protection to keep plastic bottles and tubes from exploding or leaking. The 182 Gram Toiletry Bag is made of durable...
Vintage French Soap Hook
(30 October 2007) - by Passa Chattra After realizing this wasn't an egg screwed into the wall, I had the "ah-ha!" feeling upon learning it is in fact a vintage soap hook. Made by Pro Ven Di, it was originally designed for French public school bathrooms and adds a little charm to a daily (at least, we hope) process. The solid chrome bracket can be mounted near the...
Lax(ative) Advertising
(11 May 2007) - Call it ingenious marketing or just plain bad taste, but a company promoting its laxatives on a bus stop billboard on busy Avenida Faria Lima in São Paulo has incorporated toilet lids attached to the seats where bus passengers sit and wait to further drive home its message. Those innocently taking a rest while waiting for their rides on public transport unwittingly become part...
