Snap and Dine by Doug Black

Fine dining and plastic utensils don't often fall into the same sentence but Demelza Hill wants to change that. The British product designer, whose works seeks to shine a different light on everyday products, created Snap and Dine, which approximates the traditional three-course meal using an interconnected mold of disposable plastic plates and cutlery.
Easy to use, the meal setting comes in a single, transportable format. The plate and utensils have the decorative flourishes traditionally reserved for fine china so that the user can then add a touch of class and elegance to the low-key occasion of a picnic or bag lunch.

Paralda HEPA Air Purifier
The tragic irony of many air purifiers is that while they remove toxins from your breathing space, they also spew ozone-depleting gases into the atmosphere. Instead of relying on this decidedly non-green electrostatic technology, Alen's new Paralda Air Purifier uses the EPA-recommended HEPA filter, which removes even smaller particles from living rooms while respecting the greater habitat. The first purifier to get both an...

Gin and Titonic Ice Cube Molds
Nothing shakes up a cocktail party like talk of tragedy, and there may never be a classier catastrophe than the Titanic. With that in mind, the clever folk at Fred & Friends designed the perfect conversation piece with Gin & Titonic. It's an ice cube mold shaped to depict miniature Titanics and icebergs. When sunk into your drink, they form a dramatic diorama befitting...

Rachael Cole Pillows
These Village Pillows by Brooklyn illustrator Rachael Cole are a set of cushions that work like a puzzle to build a country town, including houses, trees, a car, a horse, a dog and a duck. They paint a beautiful picture as a group and work just as nicely as individual pieces. What I like about the Village Pillows is that they're playful yet mature,...

Kyouei Design: Liquid Bookmarks and Lamps
by Laura Neilson For all the devoted bibliophiles who refuse to save their page by dog-earing their favorite pieces of literature, this startling bookmark instead applies a faux drip of liquid making for a cheeky alternative. It's designed by Kouichi Okamoto of Kyouei Design, the same company that brought us the cleverly-conceived umbrella pot last spring and that's known for their inventive lighting systems. Just...
