Knife Towel $18.00

You're staring down into the kitchen drawer. There are the 'nice' towels, you're not supposed to use. Then there are the 'gross' towels you use waaaay too much. These knife towels from Mujun are 'nice' but not so nice that you can't use them and use them often. Where you put them in the towel drawer is completely up to you.

Wooden Tray from $96.00

It's a tray and it's made of ash, but it is NOT an ashtray. Like all things HASAMI, it's supremely elegant and multi-functional (it's a tray, it's a lid, it's a plate).

The world is awash in reusable drinks containers that just plain underperform. Right as we were about to give up hope of ever finding one we liked, this elegant travel tumbler caught our eye.

Le Klint 375 Table Lamp $1,000.00

Even if you watch an hour of video about how these lamps are made (like we did) it still remains a mystery. From a long, flat sheet of paper to precisely rendered sculpture, all through a careful sequence of precise, repeated folds in the paper. Otherworldly stuff.
