Purisme Carbon Fiber Letter Opener
With the bulk of our correspondences now taking place digitally, it's no wonder letter openers have been relegated to the luxury gift category. But the humble object remains one of those iconic pieces of design; Enzo Mari designed a whole series of them for the Italian company Danese in the '60s. Now comes the advent of the carbon fiber letter opener. Designed by the Austrian...

Split Ruler
A cleverly subtle (and totally Japanese) update to the classic wooden ruler, the Split Ruler by Tokyo-based Cina has a pencil-shaped cut-out for placing pens or pencils when not in use. The duo behind Cina are the same two behind the snowflake-patterned flash drives that have been circulating around the internet this week, but in this case we're more captivated by the reinvention of...

Royal Tichelaar Makkum Work Table Lamp
After looking at an abundance of wiry, steel desk lamps that all felt a bit too stale, lifeless and boring, I found the Royal Tichelaar Makkum Work Table Lamp. Made of Oak, glazed white ceramic and using a low wattage halogen bulb, it gives off a certain warmth that others just can't compete with. Industrial tailor Dick van Hoff worked with the four-century-old Dutch...

Magnet Tacks
Part tack and part magnet, these office essentials designed by Hironao Tsuboi are capable of holding heavy-ish objects two different ways. The small, gold plated head is a double magnet so when objects are attached magnetically they appear to float (see images). When spearing notes into the wall, the thicker head also makes it easier to pry the tack out. Smart, bi-functional and sublimely...
