Cork Cuff by Ami Kealoha
Wine-loving "cork dorks" need not worry about this cuff from Donna Piacenza of Chicago-based Studio 1a.m; made from recycled stoppers, they're no threat to the preferred method of plugging wine bottles. Using a single block of ground-up corks that have been formed using environmentally-friendly adhesives, Piacenza cuts the recylable, flexible, and water-repellant bracelet from the slab, which can be used to store the unconventional accessory. Or, with the cuff removed, the elegant C-shaped negative space makes a fetching display piece (pic after the jump).
Available for $48 from Studio 1a.m.

The latest edition, Ice Cream, is no exception with its rainbow mylar cover that takes us back to our sticker collection days. Fortunately, what's inside the cover doesn't disappoint, including some...

Hoopla
The black sandpaper book jacket says it all. Who else but the famed Miami-based advertising firm Crispin Porter+Bogusky (CP+B) would create a cover designed to collect DNA for passing on to future generations? It's this type of wildly inventive thinking backed by a playfully ironic attitude that has made CP+B one of the most commonly recognizable names in the field over the last five...

Suck UK Sun Jar
I'll admit that Suck UK can be a little bit hit and miss with its creations, but I think the Sun Jar is spot on. Using a solar cell, battery and LEDs, it effectively collects sunlight during the day so you can use it at night. Simple and effective, with the bonus of being eco-friendly, the Sun Jar costs around £20....
