Cases for the iPad, Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 (sorry eReaders) with licensed classic book cover art. Handmade using book board and book cloth, the same materials used in paper book hardcovers.

A pair of snow globes for all seasons seasonings. GamaGo’s bear-filled salt and pepper shakers are decorative and practical. The transparent globes make it easier to see if you need to refill them.

A creepy encounter in his childhood inspired designer Scott Ogden to redefine the Ouija Board. We hope no one is possessed by an evil spirit while riding it. Limited edition of 250.

A clever iPhone 4/4S case which turns its LED flash into a colorful notification light, glowing when you receive texts, calls or emails, yet still allowing you to use it for photos. Available in a variety of colors.

Yeongkeun Jeong and Aareum Jeong devised this clever system of stick-on dots and a lengthy strap which can be woven around the triangular frame of most bikes, creating storage space out of the void.

A reversible jacket made from a special three-layer fabric. The dark side keeps you warm while the light side is for keeping cool. The jacket is also breathable and waterproof.

Made from flexible silicone, the Pack-Away Bucket folds flat when not in use, minimizing storage space. Works great for gardening, but also as a serving piece for outdoor dining.

A clever beach-side promotional display for Sprite looks like a giant soda machine, but we’re thinking that it dispenses water and not lemon-lime soda or else it would make for one sticky mess.

For his Brecce collection, designer Marco Stefanelli combined sawmill scraps and other waste materials with resin and LEDs to make wonderful organic lamps that are eye-catching yet still subdued.

Architect Haiko Cornelissen’s whimsical aluminum outdoor table combines modern urban sensibilities with a bit of nature, adding a live grass table surface beneath your plates. Ants not included.

A concept garment for the future, the Aegis provides not just protection from weather, but sensors which track pollutants, and alert you to don the built in respirator when air quality is poor.

Designer Elie Ahovi’s lightbulb uses clean, modern LED tech for illumination, but pipes it through a fiber-optic tube to provide the illusion of a classic filament. We sure hope these get produced.

A chair inspired by the Brothers Grimm tale Little Red-Cap aka Little Red Riding Hood, the Wolf Within appears to have a wolf-shaped shadow that is actually a faux fur rug.

Designers Feng Cheng-Tsung and Cheng Yu-Ting have come up with an innovative way to deter bike thieves, with a pedal that transforms into a wheel lock. Break the lock, and you can’t ride the bike.

Artful, but reasonably priced speakers which break out of the mold of the ordinary black boxes, replacing them with bold decorative stands covered with works by some awesome indie artists.
