Recycled Glassware by Bottlehood

by cwhitmore | Posted February 1st, 2011 at 11:29 pm

When I saw these awesome glasses made by Bottlehood ($15+) I was instantly reminded of Mandles.  However, given the rediculous amounts of beer consumed at my place I think I’ll have way more of a use for these!  As you can see they are eco-friendly, “upcycled” glassware made from recycled wine, beer, soda and liquor bottles and you can get them in tumblers, juice glasses and vases.  It is pretty sweet to think you could be drinking that Dead Guy Ale from a glass that it was meant for.  Its like destiny or something…

A little birdie tells me that a couple of those tumblers will have a new home soon. Read More

Iron Design Company’s Firewood Holder

by cwhitmore | Posted December 16th, 2010 at 1:08 am


As it is now rediculously cold outside I decided going outside to get firewood sucked so I started searching for a fire would holder… and what did I find?  Well that would be Iron Design Company’s Firewood Holder ($360).  It has a killer design that definitely falls into that less is more category. I guess that’s required though since it’s made from one strip of steel.  Oh, and don’t worry, it features pine runners along the bottom to protect the floor.

They also make a really sweet Andiron.  Check out pictures of it and the Firewood Holder after the break. Read More

IdeaPaint: Draw on the walls like the kid you are

by cwhitmore | Posted August 28th, 2010 at 11:41 pm

IdeaPaint

As some of you may or may not know my “day job” is @ Matchbox Design Group where we use white boards everyday.  (usually for stick figures)  We’re currently in the process of moving offices and when we found this stuff we thought it was ingenious.  Instead of having to hang the white boards, frame them and make sure they’re level… Brent…. , you can just paint the wall with IdeaPaint ($30-$175).  Of course it can be used in places other than an office wall, say maybe the kitchen, garage, kid’s room or even your coffee table which I’ll be doing shortly.

This ain’t yo mama’s dishrack

by cwhitmore | Posted August 17th, 2010 at 12:09 am

That’s right, I just went there, but this thing is sweet!  Sometimes it’s the simplest things that stand out and this one is “Dishrack” created by DBA.  They worked really hard on that name…


A dense concentration of rods useful for holding cutlery and thin glassware fades evenly to a spacing large enough to accommodate bowls, plates and pans. A flexible mesh connects the posts, allowing the structure to be twisted open and rinsed. The excess water drains into a tray beneath, which can be easily emptied and cleaned. Both the main body and the tray are recycled polypropylene.
I’m pretty sure this would look kick ass on my counter.

The Classic Beer Glass Connoisseur Collection

by cwhitmore | Posted August 12th, 2010 at 10:32 pm

Sure, you may get called a beer snob for using the proper glass but at least you’ll look fancy.  With the Classic Beer Glass Connoisseur Collection ($35) you get a glassware set with four different goblet styles — there’s Belgian, Wheat, Imperial Pint, and Footed Pilsner glasses — each designed to enhance your beer drinking experience, and it even comes with a beer journal from the guys at 33 Beers that you can use to keep track of all your brews.

I’m pretty sure I need this…

The most energy efficient light bulb ever

by cwhitmore | Posted May 26th, 2010 at 7:59 pm

Well, I may be stretching that a bit given that it’s actually a candle but this Light Bulb Candle designed by Helbert FerreiraRemi Melander of System Design STUDIO is a sweet piece of work.  It screws into a standard socket and looks like a real bulb.  Probably wouldn’t work in a ceiling fixture.  Well I guess it would, you’ll probably just burn your house down.

Check out some other images after the break.

The Cornered Table by Dylan Gold

by cwhitmore | Posted March 11th, 2010 at 9:00 pm

This is a sweet coffee table designed by Dylan Gold.  I don’t have a lot of book but I bet that would be a perfect spot for all my beer and gadget magazines.
