Ironwood Gourmet's new Grind Design Mills bring a new twist to the table. The mills come in four shapes and feature segments that can be rotated individually; each rotation not only grinds your salt or pepper with a ceramic mechanism, it also creates a unique "sculpture." The mills come in two sizes (7 3/4" and 10") and light or dark bamboo.
Their new Tapas set (below) features a three piece system for serving small plates in a party setting. The core holds small plates, which can be easily separated and then placed on top of a wine glass; the fitted bottom of the plate sits perfectly in the glass, allowing guests to eat comfortably with one hand while securely holding their glass and plate with the other. Smart.
Visit Ironwood Gourmet for more information on pricing and availability.

One of the participants was the Yoshikawakuni Plastics Company which displayed its like-it line of home storage solutions. Similar in aesthetic to Muji, the...
by Paolo Ferrarini of Future Concept Lab In recent years the term “luxury” has been abused and misused, making it often difficult to identify with certainty. Riva, an icon of style and opulence, with a long history of quality and excellence in the boat industry, leaves no question.

Carved out of wood from Japanese trees, Hidetoshi Takahashi's new series of cups for design-oriented boutique Merchant No. 4 are excellent examples of his meticulously executed work. The series offers two styles, the Cara and Kami. The Cara cups, designed by Rina Ono, include a tea cup, a milk cup and an egg cup, all comprised of wood from the Linden tree. The Kami is...
by Ariston Anderson We've broken more wine glasses than we care to remember. And forget about putting out the good stuff at parties, but drinking wine out of a plastic cup kills the taste. However, not all plastic cups are created equally. Made of shatterproof thermoplastic polymer resin, Govino wine glasses are designed just like crystal stemless ware. And like crystal, there is no leaching...
