Tykho Fans by SummerSeventySix

We've just had the hottest July day ever in the UK, so having a decent fan at hand is a necessity right now. Most on the market favor function over form, but the Tykho Fan looks, and keeps you, cool. Designed by Marc Berthier and made by Lexon, its safe rubber blades spin at two speeds, and come in several colors. An example is also kept in the permanent collection of Paris's Centre Pompidou. €45 from Singulier.

Limited Edition Alessi Wire Baskets from MoMA
Alessi's classic wire basket has graced the counters and tables of the terminally chic since its debut in 1951.

The Alessi square red wire basket ($110) and round yellow wire basket ($85) are available exclusively from the...
Riedel Decanters
New from the generations-old family glassware-makers Riedel, this series of decanters takes its inspiration from birds for a collection that's as striking as it is functional. Designed by Maximillian Riedel (also responsible for leading the stemless revolution) and his father Georg and handmade by artisans in their Austrian factory, the leaded crystal vessels are all aerodynamic lines and dramatic dimensions. While the Swan (above...
Bottoms Up Doorbell
A winner of a Red Dot award last year, Peter van der Jagt's Bottoms Up Doorbell is perhaps one of the best examples of repurposed objects we've come across. It's no surprise that it comes from the fertile Dutch collective that is Droog, circa 1994. A magnet (which adds bonus points for its exposed wiring) between two different sized crystal wineglasses creates the classic...
