Cool Hunting
Where do a luxury sex brand, an infamous nightclub and the "pop" artist of the moment all come together? We found the answer to this question in the First Exposure exhibition and a vibrator. The Ultimate Member Limited is a collaboration between Jimmyjane, purveyor of sleek sex toys, Kabaret's Prophecy, the exclusive London play den and Jamie Hewlett, the illustrator who created Tank Girl and the animated band Gorillaz. The six crazy characters Hewlett created for the walls of Kabaret’s Prophecy have been etched onto the classic Jimmyjane Little Something, combining art, sex and erotic nightlife in this colorful limited edition series. The characters have been described as "too glamourous, too seedy, too sexy, too dirty, to ever really exist." So this is all about fantasy. (Click images for detail.)
There's Dick Ward ("Style stud and he-hunk hung like a sartorial clotheshorse"); Omaha Hi-Lo ("Queen of the Texas Hold-Em, known from Monte Carlo to The Strip this lady's got more hustle than Larry Flynt"); The Profit ("He's the spiritual king of kerching for whom the till rings"); Vanity Unit ("Krug guzzling, slick-crude-pumping billionairess. Black gold; oil that is, Texas tea"); The Honorable Van Sackful Smythe ("The heir abhorrent to tea tycoon Lord Terence "Typhoon" Sackful Smythe." Philanthropic, misanthropic, alcoholic, Vane is the be-bop, shop 'til you drop, bachelor de rigeur"); And finally Major Maja Flink ("Major Maja 'Mother Load' Flink's bomb bay doors are lubed up and primed. One flick of her switch is all that it will take to send her ballistic").
Choose the character that does it for you or get the whole box set and pick whichever one takes your fancy in the moment. Each are limited to an edition of 1500 and are available from JImmyjane for $275 or $1,650 for the set of six.

Launching tonight as part of Milan's furniture festivities, the latest collaboration with leading designers and the second with blob lord Karim Rashid and Veuve Clicquot is this reinvention of a chandelier in the form of a glowing pink champagne holder that doubles as a cooling tote. The design, an asymmetrical sensual ellipse, was the result of Rashid's initial scribble after asked to meld the...
A collaboration between Italian designer Luigi "Allergic to Straight Lines" Colani and German piano-makers Schimmel in the late 1990s, the Pegasus grand piano looks like something you'd see on a Star Trek set. Updates to the classic form include a slightly curved, ergonomic keyboard (eliminating any need for the player to move their body), an electrically-controlled hydraulic lid (to control projection) and a fully...
The second crop of Friends With You Mimobots drops today and the collaboration between the character-themed thumb drive maker and the rainbow-splashed art collective couldn't be a better match. Adding three Malfis (smiling, the original, and super) as well as Mr. TTT (pictured above from L-R and in detail after the jump), the diminutive guys will store either 1GB, 2GB and 4GB your data....
We have a winner! Of the dozens of entries, voters at Popdeck narrowed it down to three and after a close vote here at the CH headquarters, we ultimately chose CSJ 89's hyperbolic take on OCD. The contorted facial expressions interpret OCD in its worst form, depicting a visceral reaction to something as seemingly inconsequential as misaligned fringe on a rug. Limited in quantity—only...
Everyone's favorite dueling spy duo, Spy vs. Spy, are making their way from the pages of Mad Magazine onto a new limited edition sneaker. Inspired by the classic comic, Puma and Boston-based boutique Bodega got together to create a special shoe based on Puma's classic Sky II Hi silhouette, aptly named the Spy II Hi. Made of premium leather, I especially like the translucent...
Barely into her 20s, designer/illustrator Kate Moross has a client list as long as some established design firms. You might recognize her distinctive work from Vice and Nylon magazines or U.K. bands like Klaxons and the Maccabees. She cut her teeth designing flyers for London shows three years ago with a penchant for throwback psychedelic graphics and lettering. Her more recent work favors a...
