"At first glance, this clever ad by Ridsect Roach Trap looks like it features a beautiful wallpaper pattern. Once you look closely though, you’ll see that the dots are actually … roaches!"]]>

Koope, a chandelier designed by Phillipe, a swiss architecture student. Very practical for tiny NYC apartments. Finally a place to put all of our wine glasses and free up some valuable kitchen cabinet space.]]>

"Bears, the first book by Kent Rogowski, is a series of portraits of the most unusual sort: ordinary teddy bears that have been turned inside out and restuffed. Each animal's appearance is determined by the necessities of the manufacturing process. Simple patterns and devices never meant to be seen are now prominent physical characteristics, giving each one a distinctly quirky personality: their fasteners become eyes, their seams become scars, and their stuffing creeps out in the most unexpected places. Together these images form a topology of strange yet oddly familiar creatures. They are at once hideous yet cuddly, disturbing yet endearing, absurd yet adorable, while offering a metaphor for us all to consider. These bears, which have lived and loved and lost as much as their owners, have suffered and endured through it all. It is by virtue of revealing their inner core might we better understand our own.]]>

"This NY snowball adds an unexpected element on the typical souvenir: there’s a tiny plastic bag floating around gracefully with the snow. It’s ironic because snowglobes usually are idealized little realms of places but this one actually tries to portray the reality of the city." By Andrew Coates.]]>
