The modern Rope Stool takes inspiration from the most widely used drum in Korean traditional music, the janggu. The form of the slim waist drum is hinted in the hourglass shape of the structure. Free of adhesives and screws, the raw design is held together with tension created by just 3 ropes and a single dowel.

I just finished reading up a rant by a fellow tech online-writer about how we should not be covering our Smartphones with cases. He probably hasn't seen many people go through the agony of busting one up due to accidental spills and drops. Or he hasn't yet seen this witty Vitamin Shield Case. A labor of love by UX agency Light Brain and Joongho Choi, this durable waterproof case has a double zipper feature, making your Smartphone available for use underwater. You can even access the touchscreen functionality with ease. Simple and smart!

Yes, You May Play at the Table!

The Attention! cutlery set takes it’s name from the upright position of the knife, spoon and fork trio when placed in the space-saving dock. The clever design utilizes magnets to bond groups of utensils together, making them easy to set and ensuring that strays don’t go missing. It’s a playful conversation starter that dinner guests will love!

Hand-spun Lighting

Vim & Vigor’s SF lamp series pays homage to the vanishing art of hand spinning metal. Each of the 3 shades are spun before a signature “key hole” is punched in the side. This gap creates a visual perplexity that makes the otherwise symmetrical design appear to change depending on the viewing angle.
