ALISSIAmt "Diamond" Rings
by Ami Kealoha
Dutch native and former IDEO resident Alissia is the designer behind these faux gems. Currently based in Brooklyn, she sold out of them at the Designboom marketplace at NYC's last ICFF in New York and for good reason. Elegant, modern silhouettes in clear or colored acrylic, silver, or gold mock tradition and the subtle punchline looks as good on a finger as worn on a chain around the neck.
Available online through the Moma Design Store starting next week.
Sony DSC-N1
by Josh Rubin
In the 2 years that have passed since Sony launched the revolutionary T1 there have been several iterations (5 to be exact) on the 5.1 Megapixel, big screen small wonder T series. The N1 is their next big step-- it features more megapixels, a bigger screen, a better lens, improved overall image quality and a whole new touch screen user interface. All this is in a package not much larger than the original T1.
Sony also tuned in to the fact that people were using the screen on the T series to show photos to friends and turned that in to a feature on the N1. It's smart because items put in the separate sharing album are only kept at the low resolution needed to display on the camera's screen, leaving room to take more photos.

Salvor
by Josh Rubin
Though we've loved Salvor T-shirts and pillows for a long time, it was only last week that we had the chance to meet Ross, the creative mastermind behind the brand. A man of many interesting projects, he ties them all together through his attention to graphic detail. This Fall he's introducing a few new animals to his repertoire of t-shirts. Dog Skull is printed in brilliant silver ink on gray stock, Pigeon is a simple black on pink and The Rack uses safety orange on beige. The t-shirts are also going to be printed on a new custom stock that is super soft and tubular (which means there's no seam down the side and therefor no torquing).
Shop list after the jump.
Laces

If you're not a purist who wants only original parts, here are some funky laces from a skate shop in Poland.
