Rolex watches are generally known for their use of opulent materials and straightforward designs that don't exactly scream playful. But this customised Submariner, designed by the Bamford Watch Department, eschews the diamonds and gold and platinum in favour of something a little more sleek and stripped down. Ever think you'd see a Rolex packaged with a NATO band? Read More >

This is the Kororodesku, a diorama-like workspace designed by Tokyo-based Torafu Architects, that is one part desk, one part office cubicle, and entirely charming. Its plywood frame can be purchased with an interior polyester veneer in any one of over 1,000 different colours, making the Kororo desk an irresistible addition to just about any home office decorating scheme.

Because they're commonly banished to rec rooms and basements and bars, foosball tables are rarely judged for their looks. In fact, the vast majority of them are very ugly. But after seeing this fine piece of design work by RS Barcelona, maybe it's time to reconsider. Read More >

Despite everything you've learned in the Super Mario Bros video games, stomping and burning are not your only two options in the kitchen. When you need to chop that magic mushroom before wolfing it down, you can hack it up on this Coin Block cutting board. Read More >
Although part of the beauty of a slice of pizza is that eating it requires neither silverware, nor plates, there are still plenty of people who wouldn't think of eating a meal without the proper tableware. They should consider serving their slices on three-sided Pizza Plates that—surprise—are divided into slice-shaped wedges Read More >

"That's ludicrous. The point of a plate isn't just to hold the food, it is also to stop any crumbs or pizza topping from falling on the floor." More »
If you wear headphones often, you don't just care about how they sound, you also care about how they look. These tortoise shell earbuds (£50) from Nixon are seriously cool. Read More >
This is the ZecOO, an electric motorbike that can reach 75mph with a range that goes from 55 to 85 miles. Not bad. But what I really like is its weird, anime jet fighter aesthetic, from its retro-futuristic profile to the extruded gauges to its front suspension. Read More >

Have you ever noticed that the desks in your office form a cubicle version of Rome's Circus Maximus? And since battling lions and gladiators to determine who gets the last doughnut was phased out before you joined the company, perhaps a winner-takes-all chariot race is more appropriate? Read More >
Recently unveiled at the Aero Expo in Freidrichshafen, Germany, Pipistel's new Panthera four-seater plane can be ordered with a standard, albeit highly efficient, gas engine. But it's also available in an all-electric model for those preferring an aircraft that produces less air and noise pollution. Read More >
You can now bring one of the simplest of joys from your childhood—enjoying a leisurely swing—into your office without having to hang cables from the ceiling, or move furniture out of the way. At least you can if Florent Coirier ever decides to actually sell her swinging Portique Armchair. Read More >
When guns came along and became mankind's primary weapon, axes were relegated to chopping firewood and other mundane tasks—ending the medieval golden age of axe design. But thanks to a recent spike in zombie popularity, designer axes have enjoyed a renaissance. Read More >

Having somewhere to hang a jacket when you walk in your front door is nice, but the problem with having a proper coat rack is that you end up with a critical mass of outerwear occupying your entryway. A very simple—but very nice-looking—piece like Florian Saul's Servus rack might just do the trick. Read More >

It's dim, it gets hot, and it will probably chew through batteries faster than an electric car. But damned if this vintage Swiss Army torch dating back to the '50s and '60s isn't a lovely piece of hardware. Read More >
