Aiaiai Y-Com Earbuds
(18 August 2008) - The offshoot of a 200-member creative collective that was active in Copenhagen during 2005-2006, Aiaiai's headphones win points for their playful sense of design and sound quality. Collaborating with fellow Danes Kilo Design, the look avoids traditional black and chrome colorways as well as the dreaded all-white altogether, instead opting for a contemporary palette. Their latest model, the Y-Com, is a more streamlined version...

Tobias Wistisen Shrunken Heads Necklace
(03 August 2007) - Creepy, beautiful and cute, these necklaces by Danish designer Tobias Wistisen feature silver mini shrunken heads. Their mix of highly detailed garish features (like the stitches over the mouth) and hair made from delicate silver chains makes for an unusual accessory that's tough to categorize. We recommend the many-headed version for rockstars or review mirrors, but the single pendant works for a more subtle...

One of the most attractive decanters I've come across is this one in glass and steel, designed for Danish company Menu by Louise Christ Frederiksen. Besides looking good, the broad base significantly improves aeration. Menu also has...
