The Daisy Vase is one of the smallest vases I know. Giffin’TerMeer used classic BIC™ ballpoint pens and hand blow-molded them into these little vases, each one is unique. You can buy one for $29 at the designboom shop, the designboom weblog has some making of pictures.

I quite like this combination of raw logs and these high-gloss colors. Log Bowls by Loyal Loot.

I saw Tom Price his PP Blue Rope Meltdown Chair for the first time over a year ago when he presented it during the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Apparently he made more variations of the initial chair with different materials. The production technique is quite simple. You take a pile of some sort of plastic, then you press a very hot metal seat in it and you’re done. These ones are made with fleece clothing. Excellent!
