Bringing a new meaning to the word “lampshade” this little number is called “The Celebrity” – an Austrian-made table lamp made from 40 pairs of aviator sunglasses.  Even the switch is the arm from one of them.

If you’ve ever thought that traditional playing cards with all their fleur-de-lys and fussy designs are a bit old hat in this brave new world it appears you’re not alone.

This new watch from Diesel is either meant for the constant traveler or the unashamed nerd, but who cares either way – it looks like a crazy device from the future!

These wall graphics by Hu2 Design are awesome.  The ideas are really creative and fun, and look like an inventive way to add character to bold-coloured walls especially.

If anyone’s wondering what to get me for Christmas, I’d happily accept this new Palindrome Too watch by Philippe Starck for Fossil.

As if there weren’t enough ways to spend well over 2 thousand dollars here’s another – a beautifully designed clock that features copper digits welded on to a bicycle chain that rotates around a gear to tell the time.

These chunky cufflinks are hand made to order using real watch mechanisms salvaged from vintage watches, and as such no two pairs are exactly the same.  You don’t need to be a watch nerd or know what “steampunk” means to appreciate their industrial design.

LaCie are no strangers to creating well designed computer accessories – from FA Porsche designed hard drive enclosures to brightly-coloured flat cables, they certainly seem to care about style as well as substance.  These new speakers, the Sound2, are no exception.

OK, so it may not be the ideal time of year to be investing in cooling devices, but you might want to put this on your Christmas list in time for next summer.  What you are looking at, strangely enough, is a fan – although not as we know it.

I love this shirt by Holiday Matinee and sold via Supermarket – I can’t quite put my finger on what it is but it’s a brilliant retro design.
Yours for $20 (about 12 quid to you guv – plus shipping of course) from Supermarket.
