Glass Milk Container

Glass Milk Container
Buy

Your half-and-half will look way cooler served in Fred & Friends’ clear glass half-pint container. Just don’t use it for long-term storage – milk doesn’t keep as long in the light, especially left open.

Buy

Simple but very eye-catching, this ominous looking screenprinted lunar calendar from Brazilian designer Dimitre Lima politely leaves out the part where the Moon crashes into the Earth.

Handycan

Handycan

Combining our urge to crush cans with our bare (not bear) hands with smart industrial design, Emami Designs’ Handycan fits human (and bear) hands perfectly, and crushes like an accordion.

Keloid (Trailer)

Keloid (Trailer)

Big Lazy Robot’s short film Keloid looks promising just based on its AI-focused premise. It doesn’t hurt to realize that this trailer contains no live footage and is composed entirely of CGI either.

Yamaha Y125 MOEGI Concept

We love the retro styling of Yamaha’s compact MOEGI. The gas-powered bike weighs just 176 pounds, and can run 188 miles on a tank of fuel. Nonsensical Japanese promo video here.

Pin Pres

Pin Pres

Part plaything, part bookshelf, part storage system for kids, Pin Pres by OOO My Design is like a giant-sized one of those retro pin art toys. We want a whole wall of these, in adult-size, please.

Keys Wallet Cellphone Doormat

Keys Wallet Cellphone Doormat
Buy

A doormat for forgetful folks. Made of 100% coconut fiber with latex backing, stenciled with latex paint. It doesn’t come with a wind chime that reminds you to look down though. Flip 180° for best use.

Judson Beaumont’s ingenious chair design removes the excess bulk under the seat and arms, turning it into storage, and personalizing the look. It took over 600 pieces of CNC-cut birch to construct it.
