MacBook Pro Packaging by Josh Rubin
MacBook Pro deliveries started happening in the last few days—I got mine yesterday. In between data migration and device lust, I couldn't help but admire the packaging. Some have noted how slim and minimal the box is, while others have appreciated the streamlined set of accessories and documents. I was most impressed with the protective materials that safely suspended the MacBook. With clear reference to Eva Zeisel (left, after the jump) and Erwin Hauer (right, after the jump), the molded styrofoam is beautiful to look at and respectable for its reduction in overall material usage.

Lulu Organics Hair Powder
Hair washing in cold weather is a tedious burden for those of us with long locks, not to mention the health risks. I don’t have the time or patience to blow dry before braving the elements, which is where the Hair Powder “for hair on days of unwash” from Lulu Organics comes in. It soaks up the shine and leaves my hair smelling great...

LCDP Liquid Detergent for Delicate Textiles and Lingerie
La Compagnie De Provence Marseille (LCDP), one of the most traditional and long-standing French soapmakers, reinvented lingerie soap with their Liquid Detergent for Delicate Textiles and Lingerie ($21).

Created by British shirt-maker, Thomas Pink it's officially called the "commuter tie" and has a pocket sewn on the reverse to hold an iPod Nano....

Note Book & Pencil
Let's be honest, as much as we try to go electronic, we're all still scribbling away on paper, writing todo notes, stock ideas, and grocery lists on plain old parchment. And as long as we're writing on paper, we're going to need a pen or a pencil. Designers "Sam and Jude" deserve a great big thanks for making our lives a little bit easier...

Starck Beer Bottles
Continuing his crusade to touch every product segment imaginable, Philippe Starck has done a package redesign for the 340 year old French brewery, Brasseries Kronenbourg.
