Obleeek, spelled with 3 e’s, sent over their beautiful collection of concrete planters. Makes me sad that it’s winter, but then again…I can still use a planter.

Tea bag Coffin
Where do tea bags go to die? (em homenagem as meninas do chá..)
Designer Jonas Trampedach provides a solution:
Usually squashed on the side of the saucer next to the cup, or if you have a little less decorum the table will probably be just fine. Jonas Trampedach has been observing the behaviour of tea drinkers and has evidently been learning a lot. Consequently he has developed a solution to the bag dilemma that is as simple as it is ingenious. With the ‘Tea bag Coffin’, the drinker can tidily bury the bag under the cup and out of the way. RIP.
The Karma Chair
The Karma Chair is a stylish piece of furniture designed for comfort and simplicity. It’s ergonomically shaped for lounging but the real story is the construction. Made from 2 identically shaped pieces of layered and formed bamboo veneer. They’re individually finished with opposing mating details so they slide-lock together with simple hardware.
Miso Soup Design
Miso Soup Design are the designers of the Za Stool, found in their furniture department. It looks simple and interesting. It’s a bent plywood stool, visually reminiscent of Sori Yanagi’s famous 1956 Butterfly Stool, with the exception that this one is stackable. Take the two halves apart, and voila! Stackable stool. Simple and brilliant.

The Hover Collection
The Hover Collection, designed by Kristoffer Kjær, is so simple and sleek that you would think you’ve seen it before. However, the craftsmanship is amazing, as each piece seems to hover above the ground.
