Power Strip Liberator by Josh Rubin
On a regular basis I profess the definition of design to be an exercise in problem solving. The Power Strip Liberator is a perfect example of what I consider great design. It's a one foot long extension cord that bridges your power strip to the bulky plug so that none of the outlets are blocked. Of course solving this problem creates yet another one-- a bigger mess under the desk, but until we have wireless power that may be a worthwhile tradeoff.

Hands on: My Beating Heart
My Beating Heart, the pillow with a beat, made it's way around various web sites last week when it was first announced. We got our hands on one to take a closer look... The heart shaped pillow, invented by artist Yury Gitman, has a small motor in it that is programmed to give a life-like pulse when turned on. The pillow itself is about...

City Kitty
I don't have a cat and probably never will, but if I did a CitiKitty mine would be. Invented by Rebecca Rescate and her husband when they moved in to a small NYC apartment, the training starts as a litter box placed on the toilet seat. Over time you remove the inner rings, reducing the amount of litter used and teaching the cat to...

The Ashhole
As an ex-smoker I really find the habit quite gross. So it's with great apprehension that I mention this product, but the fact of the matter is that it's a pretty brilliant design solution. Instead of putting butts in empties and making a mess along the way, pop on an Ashhole and get the benefits of an ash tray without the need to clean...

Liberty Tiles
Trend USA's new collection called Liberty, designed by the skilled Italian mosaic artist Giulio Candussio, is a modern update to the ancient artform perfected by Greek and Roman artists thousands of years ago. The way the hand-cut glass tiles catch light is simply exquisite. (See another image after the jump.) With a material make-up of at least 25% recycled content, your empty beer bottles...

Yoko Devereaux x DFC: Housewares
I don't smoke, but if I did, I would use one of these new Superflat Ninja Ashtrays (above left). A collaboration with Mexico City's hip houseware brand DFC, Yoko Devereaux expands beyond the tailored knitwear the label's known for to add some well-designed home furnishings. Also included in the collection is the Cabron Bottle Opener (below), a solid brass bottle opener featuring a brass...

Prepara Herb-Savor
Although it's common knowledge that fresh ingredients yield the best results when cooking, the organic locally-grown herbs I bring home from the farmer's market always seem to wilt the second I close the refrigerator door. Replacing the old tin can-and-plastic bag method, Prepara's Prepara Herb-Savor prolongs the life of fresh herbs for up to three weeks keeping them encased with the ends submerged in...
