Maharishi Bonsai Championship Backgammon Set by Ami Kealoha
For long train rides or rainy days, Maharishi's new Backgammon set adds a little style to the classic antidote to boredom—and continues Maharishi's mission to liberate the pattern from military associations at the same time. Dressed up in their house bonsai forest camo, the game includes dice, playing pieces and dice rollers that come in a briefcase-style case that includes combination locks. The orange and green colorway is also a Maharishi standby, dividing teams into Tigers and Dragons. £1,200 from Maharishi.

Le Corbusier: The Art of Architecture

Blown Ups Lightbulbs
Melding the frivolity of balloon animals with the function of illuminating your personal space, these Blown Ups are quite the eccentric offering from Thelermont Hupton of London.

They can be ordered...

Seven Deadly Glasses
The Talent Zone at Tent during the London Design Festival was a rich source of creativity. After being wowed by Debbie Smyth's Pins and Thread installation, the nearby dramatically-titled Deadly Glasses caught our attention. The elaborate opulence of designer Kacper Hamilton's work directly contrasts the minimalism of Smyth's. His seven hand-blown red wine glasses were exhibited in and around a beautiful wooden box with...
