Decoradar Kits by Ami Kealoha
A 3-D take on the wall mural, these kits from Brooklyn-based artists Elisheva Biernoff and Jennifer Smith come with sculptural wall ornaments, paint, instructions, and everything else needed to create themed decor. Their debut design, "South" features wooden oranges to affix to cartoon-like trees, while the latest, "North" (pictured above), includes a pair of owls and carbon transfers. Look out for upcoming editions, "East" and "West." For the less crafty or time-crunched, Biernoff and Smith will create custom pieces in your home.
Available for $50 from Decoradar.

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)...

Kiosk: Finland
Our friends at Kiosk have just introduced their fifth and latest collection, this time sourced from the far reaches of Finland. Like always, the Kiosk team traveled abroad to find the best everyday classics.

Vinyl Wall Art
This artist-designed Vinyl Wall Art is the latest version of no-fuss decals for dressing up walls.

Available from Robio for $AUD110....

Angora Brick by Various Projects
Named for collaborations between the owners, Project No. 8, the latest NYC avant-boutique, carries some of their earlier projects (under the heading Various Projects) as well. The Angora Brick is an actual brick covered in hand-knit fuzzy angora, and one of many other knitted works that co-founder Elizabeth Beer conceived. A play on contrasts—softness versus hard right angles and the weight of the brick,...
