Cool Hunting
It's true. The bounty never stops flowing here at Cool Hunting. These glasses showed up at CH HQ the other day. We laughed. We cried. Then we decided they were actually kinda great. The Glass Fox are purveyors of pub-style glassware who specialize in personalized mugs, pitchers and pint glasses. Just choose from one of Fox’s many motifs-- “Big Buck,” “All American” and “Wolf Den,” to name a few—then have them etch your name and the fictional founding date of your imaginary establishment into the glass for no extra charge. Whether purchased ironically or ingenuously, these barware sets are bound to incite jealousy. Our favorite is etched with three words we never thought we'd ever see together, "Rubin's Irish Pub." It would be even better if you could send your own design in...

A great solution to the age-old problem of where to put the tea bag or strainer after steeping tea, the Drop Stop Tea Strainer is the a clever all-in-one solution.

With his "Milk Jug Vase," Jatta Lavi has taken one of the most familiar domestic designs and hand-cast it in fine porcelain, thereby celebrating the classic form and expanding its function. The multipurpose carton, available on MoMa's online store, is a charming way to house floral arrangements or replace that run-of-the-mill carafe for milk, cream, or juice at breakfast time....
Karim Rashid-designed bottle opener from Magppie (yes, it has two Ps). Sure, it looks like a space-aged Weeble or Gloop and Gleep from the Herculoids, but this elegant device does a lot more than worry about falling down. Its ergonomic design sits comfortably in your hand, while the splash of orange in the groove adds just enough color to give this piece a hip...
You love your morning coffee in that classic New York deli cup, but lately have a pang of guilt about wasting the paper. Problem solved-- Exceptionlab (creators of treehugger.com) brings you the same cup, seam and all, in ceramic form. $12 at The Museum of the Moving Image...
The household toaster serves a simple purpose, but some models do it better than others. At CH we take this responsibility very seriously, and in hopes of separating the best from the average, we recently pitted four models from different manufacturers in a head-to-heat toast-off and recorded our highly subjective results. The toasters we used were the Alessi SG68, Viking VT200, Breville Smart Toaster BTA820XL...
