Cool Hunting

Danish company Stelton's stylishly handy ice scraper combats the frosty downside of winter.
Industrial designer Troels Seidenfaden (also Danish) created this chic t-shaped solution to the perils of ice and frost using his extensive experience at his eponymous design firm.
Made from stainless steel, the weighty tool lives up to its Nordic heritage through simple functionality and, of course, beauty. (Click image at left for detail.)
Pick one up from Unica or Emmo for $59.
For a more pared-down version (also produced by Stelton) Klaus Rath uses stainless steel and rubber-coated hard plastic to avoid scratches.
The Danish designer's hinged device features one side for scraping snow and another for ice and folds flat for easy storage.
It's available from Dansk Design for £28.

Here's an early look at what's to come from one of our favorite snow wear brands Idiom.

Following suit with Burton's plans to become more environmentally responsible, going green...

Portland-based husband and wife designers Dominic D'Andrea and Tram Pham have just launched their ceramic Nature planter. The unique design requires a six-part mold and seventeen cuts and is hand finished. There are eleven areas for planting and the largest one on the top is long enough for deep-rooting plants. The Nature planter (18" tall and 22" wide) comes in white, yellow and grey...
