ClosetsUnique Hanging “Closets” – Subtle and slightly retro in an unplaceable way, with a muted colour palette and functional design: It’s Wes Anderson meets Martha Stewart.

Available with 3, 5 or 7 bags, Tassenkast is the brainchild of Dutch designers Lotty Lindeman and Wouter Scheublin, who create bold, design-driven products from their Eindhoven-based studio.

SpaghettiarcSpaghetti Measuring Tool – What do rainbows and spaghetti noodles have in common? They both make people smile! At least, that’s what Thailand-based brand Pana Objects was thinking when they created this little rainbow-shaped gem for pasta-loving chefs looking to cook just the right amount of noodles and reduce unnecessary food waste.

Alarm CubeWooden Alarm Cube – Unless you’re one of those rumoured “early birds”, waking up in the morning can be tough. One solution? A cool cubic alarm clock that shows you the time as well as current date and temperature, while also allowing you to adjust the brightness of the LED light display (so you can read the screen during the day without being distracted at night). It may not be as effective as an extra hour of sleep, but we’re sure it will help make mornings just a little more bearable.

Phone DisplayWooden Phone Display Holder Stand – Perhaps the best way to resist the temptation of constantly checking your mobile phone is to padlock it in a desk drawer …and throw away the key. But if you really can’t do without it, then you might as well embrace the phone as a desk ornament, and give it a cosy place to rest. This phone holder in the form of a wooden beach chair is an amusing option that says: “If I can’t be on holiday right now, at least my phone can.”
