Ukulele Trivet by Ami Kealoha
Made from recycled die-cut felt that's leftover from the manufacture of ukulele picks, the Ukulele Trivet by the Los Angeles architecture firm Fung + Blatt is an example of creative re-use that's not only clever and aesthetically pleasing, but useful as well. Highly touchable, the thick softness of the material lends a warm presence to any dinner table. Treated for heat and stain resistance, the 100% wool felt trivets are available in heather grey and white for $27 from Fung + Blatt and include one of the egg-shaped picks in the reverse color. The runner, a longer and narrower version of the trivet, comes in grey and costs $196.

Deflower Vase
Alexander Reh's Fully Loaded chair made from shotgun shells, his new Deflower Vase is a clever and slightly subversive use of everyday objects. Where the chair adds an element of violence to a piece of furniture, the vase introduces a little something different, reinventing the condom by using it to sheath a common juice glass in color—Reh also calls it a "Banality preventer." Inspired by...

The Architect's Bird Feeder
Designed by architect Doug Patt (he's also one half of bi-coastal firm Rootphi), the Architect's Birdfeeder is made of eight interlocking polycarbonate (think bulletproof glass) pieces. Like Rootphi's Flat Pack housing, the structural elements ship flat and require no tools or fasteners for assembly. The upshot is product that's fun to put together, easy to refill and clean and eco-friendly. It also looks like a...
