Urban Gnomes for your Garden

Vitamin Living are featuring some pretty cool little garden gnomes, that would look great in any environment, inside or out! Inspired by London's wide ranging expanse of street art, these little guys stand 21cm tall and are made of fine bone chine in the UK.

Not quite your traditional folklore gnome, but super sweet all the same! I love that street art is able to cross into modern design.

Anderson Horta

Anderson Horta`s designs are special because they are not only (lovely) objects, they also express emotions. Anderson, who was born and lives in the Brazilian countryside city of Sabará, transforms his childhood memories into products. In addition, he has a very good understanding of different materials, such as acrylic and ceramics.

Anderson is still looking for a partnership, to begin a large scale production. In the meantime, he keeps a blog and a website, where you can buy his creations.

ring bandage by atypyk.

Atypyk and Colette want everyone to have a diamond ring, even if there isn't a marriage proposal attached.

And while they aren't meant to last forever, they will fashionably protect your cuts and scrapes and possibly stave off those woeful marital urges.

This turntable ring by plastique is painfully adorable -- talk about a head turner!

"Excuse me, but is that a miniature record player you're wearing?"

"Why yes. Yes it is."

Enough said.

New from LZF

Great new lamps just in from LZF on 2Modern! A wonderful collection of multi-layered veneer hoops make up the new Onion Pendant Lamp. Reminiscent of classic asian paper lanterns, the Farolillo Pendant and Table Lamps are festive and fun for all occasions. And with its compact, oval shape, there's no mystery to where the Pod Pendant Lamp got its name.
