Fresh Snack Packs
(20 May 2009) - by Laura Neilson As the fervent war against plastic wages on, Fresh Snack Pack reusable sandwich and snack bags are a clever and eco-friendly alternative to the disposable kind. Made from PVC-free, non-toxic plastic, the Packs come in two sizes (sandwich and snack). They feature an easy-to-open velcro closure and, because economizing doesn't necessarily mean eating PB and J sandwiches every single day, these handy...

Backblaze Online Backup: Mac Beta Access
(06 January 2009) - Perhaps the most intuitive backup solution on the market, Backblaze launched last September as an online data storage center emphasizing simplicity at a reasonable—if perpetual—price. While initially drawing ease-of-use comparisons to Apple's Time Machine, they recently released their own Mac platform, currently in Beta form. Like the PC version, Backblaze continuously monitors files for changes and uploads them to an offsite server. Though the...

Zak Designs Ice Cream Keeper
(18 November 2008) - Screaming for ice cream is easier than ever with Ice Cream Keeper, an insulated foam-core container than keeps your ice cream frozen while in transit. From Zak Designs, a leader in dinnerware and lunch kits made from melamine, a very durable thermosetting plastic. In combination with the insulation is the keeper's screw-off lid with freezable gel insert, which helps keep ice cream cold for up...

Bruno Super Deluxe Reusable Veggie Bags
(23 October 2008) - Now I'm sure you think you've got better things to talk about than storing vegetables in your fridge. Well, that was until you heard what the designer for Bruno Super Deluxe was up too. This Boston-based label is redefining mushroom and garlic storage as we know it by creating reusable bags for veggies that just aren't used to this kind of attention. Sealed in...

Mondrian-Inspired Watch Cabinet by Smythson
(17 September 2008) - The spirit of De Stijl is alive and well, as evidenced by this Mondrian-inspired watch cabinet soon to be released by the revered luxury goods purveyor Smythson of Bond Street. Part of an entire men's collection for this fall, the cabinet is finished with a black pigskin leather exterior and contains a perpetual motion watch "rocker" that pulls out to reveal hidden storage at...

The Record Cabinet
(17 September 2008) - The Record Cabinet, the first offering from Jenn and Nick Atocha (the husband and wife team behind Atocha Design), is the happy result of two music fanatics needing a home for their newly combined vinyl collections. Unlike most LP storage systems, which store records sideways allowing you to only see the spine, the Record Cabinet allows you flip through your collection savoring the artwork...

Birsel + Seck for Herman Miller: Teneo
(22 July 2008) - by Tamara Warren The classic filing cabinet has the admirable function of safely storing documents, but leaves something to be desired when it comes to form. (Think square, metal, heavy and bulky.) Addressing the problem, Herman Miller wisely brought in designers Birsel + Seck to conceive their Teneo line. The storage system recently received the Best of Competition award at Neocon for Best of...

Simplehuman Grocery Bag Holder
(23 March 2007) - Not all that impressed with the new Simplehuman sensor can, I recently bought the basic, but arguably more functional, wall-mountable grocery bag holder. This sleek, brushed stainless-steel storage unit solved my problems with unruly plastic bags spewing out of drawers and cabinets. Instead, it collects, compacts and stores away my plastic bags to recycle them for future use. Surprisingly, it fits more than 30...

Franz Maurer: Vienna
(15 February 2007) - For those of us who prefer to hold on to our CDs for one reason or another, the problem becomes where to store them without overwhelming your apartment. Franz Maurer designed this CD shelf, Vienna, a wall unit for the design collection Anthologie Quartett. To help contrast the unsightly crooked stacks of jewel cases, he adds a hint of sophistication by housing CDs in...

Harry Allen Pig Bank
(11 December 2006) - These 100% resin money-banks were cast from a demised piglet (we're assured it died of natural causes)! A large cork stopper under the belly should holds all the treasure in. Available in fuscia or white. The Pig Bank is part of Reality, the first series of Harry Allen Products that consists of objects whose form is 'sampled' from existing sources. Literal, ironic, intelligent and...

Fruitree
(22 September 2006) - Fruitree is a concept piece designed by Chia Shee Loh, Antonietta Fortunato and Elena Godenzi. They were motivated to solve the out of sight, out of mind problem with fruit that goes uneaten and spoils. The fact that fruit grows on trees does not go unnoticed in this design, where the results are both decorative and literal. Circulating air is pushed throughout the Fruitree,...

Cyclepods
(23 June 2006) - The steadily-rising price of oil, and, in London, a congestion charge of £8 for cars entering the centre of the city, mean more and more people are traveling by bike. Cheap, quick and relatively healthy (if you don't suck in lungfuls of fumes) the downsides are being caught out by the British weather and where to put your bike when you arrive. So with...

Disc Hub
(16 August 2004) - Do you like to leave your current favorite CDs out for easy playback and quick visual reference? The Disc Hub lets you have a more controlled mess and less damage to your discs by gently holding them in neoprene lined slots. Alex de Rouvray designed this handy hub while still a student at Stanford-- now he's manufacturing and selling them. He even got a...
