Fat Fridge by Parker Hutchinson
The Little Fat Fridge is a fantastic and funky solution for refrigeration in temporary living spaces, small apartments and dormitories. The prototype, designed by Zev Perlmutter for Israel's Promise Design, is made from light, inexpensive materials-- PVC and styrofoam- -and runs on an electric cooling system. The highly-portable appliance stands only five feet tall and features six slots for fridge-front photos.

Floto + Warner Beacon Lamps
by Sarah Moroz Floto + Warner really know how to light up a room with their original creations. Their past project was both good-looking and sustainably made from recycled materials. Their current project involves a cheeky take on the natural world—by using fake bugs. Hoards of them crawl up the lamp bases designed by Kartell, Phillippe Starck, Martin Baas and others, swarming towards the bulbs....

Alison Berger x Blackman Cruz
Los Angeles-based glass artist Alison Berger creates glass forms that transform mere lights, vessels and objects into timeless poetic expressions. Her recent collection of bottle-shaped vessels for the L.A. design mecca, Blackman Cruz, is an exercise in balance. Combining the lightness of blown-crystal with the weightiness of hand-formed solid crystal, the objects allude to the momentous developments in alchemy and still life painting centuries ago....

Richard Woods Home Makeover
London-based designer Richard Woods extends his "Super Tudor" style to a home in Woodstock, NY, giving the nearly 30-year-old structure a completely new look. Known for the idiosyncratic faux wood prints he designed with Sebastian Wrong fittingly called "Wrongwoods," the upstate New York home is not surprisingly "a parody of what a weekend house should be" according to contemporary art collector and home owner...

Artware Vinyl Christmas Trees
NYC-based artists Markus Linnenbrink, Fred Tomaselli, Marilyn Minter and Phoebe Washburn collaborated with Artware Editions on an environmentally-sound (and avant-garde) alternative to the living Christmas tree. Each artist came up with a die-cut vinyl wall sticker of the life-sized trees that are the mainstay of the yuletide tradition and the results bear the mark of their creators. Tomaselli's tall and skinny version (above left)...
