Gunther Skull by Josh Rubin

This little (1.75" tall) skull was designed in the 18th century by Franz Ignatz Gunther for a chapel in Munich. The original moulds are still intact, and German manufacturer Porzellan Manufaktur is making them once again. Moss is selling a limited number for $355-- the perfect bauble for a rich rocker friend.

Georg Jensen x Brooks Saddles x Sögreni Wheels Bicycle
We liked the Georg Jensen x Brooks Saddles x Sögreni Wheels bicycle collaboration when it was announced last fall. Now that we've had the opportunity to see one of the 14 limited edition fixed gear bicycles in person we really like it. It makes sense that Georg Jensen reached out to Sögreni (both are Denmark-based). The bicycle is basically a Sögreni Classic with a...

Frankie Table Lamp
Brazilian designer Fernando Akasaka continues to impress, this time with Frankie, a skull-shaped table lamp with eyes that emits piercing light beams. Using luxe materials like those in his recent and fun Cowboy Junkie saddle stool, the 11-pound light features interchangeable, colored LED or halogen bulbs. Because these options are different wattage power, customers can control the degree of fierceness they'd like for their...
