I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record about Gilt, but they just keep on having amazing deals. I just picked up two 3′ x 5′ Flokati rugs for $158. A little stitching and that will make one nice big rug for an amazing price! The rugs are hand woven 100% New Zealand wool. Approximate pile height 3 inches and contains 50 grams of wool per square inch for comfort and insulation. Available in 2.5′x8′, 3′x5′, 5′x7′, 7′x9′ and 8′x10′.

This Fridays “Way back when” is a film by Eames Demetrios on the history and the production of Charles & Ray Eames’ famous Aluminium Chair. I’m always fascinated to watch the actual design and manufacturing of furniture, and this video doesn’t disappoint.

Technically, these are folded greeting cards, but I think they’d look lovely in a simple frame and hung as prints! Drawn digitally and printed on 100% recycled, heavy weight card stock.

Set of 4 Chair Cards from Nouveau Designs: $8

We’ve blogged before about Modern Twist and their wonderful products and they keep coming up with great new ones. The Kidz Box is the new kid on the block. It is a placemat made of food grade hand silk screened silicone featuring art from independent artists. The Kidz Box also comes with 6 non toxic dry erase markers so that your little artists can color and doodle on the mat. The mat easily erases with a damp cloth. I can’t wait to see what other prints they come up with.

Kidz Box available from Modern Twist for $26

The use of pixels in home decor and accessories has been a noticeable trend for a while now. Most of the items I’ve seen though have been super pricey, designer pieces. If you’d like to get in on this trend without spending a boatload of money, consider the Squared Silly Rug from Flor. This 3×5 rug is available in four different colorways and boasts a low price of $159.99. Buy multiples of this modular rug to cover larger areas. Made from nylon with 41% post industrial recycled content.

I’ve been wanting to take a knife skills class, you know, so I can cut and slice, and chop and dice like a pro. I think having a sexy, modern knife block like this one from Crate & Barrel would encourage such skills, don’t you? Perhaps not, but it’s still pretty to look at! 100% Rubberwood with white painted finish and 6 slots. Knives not included.

Modern knife block from Crate & Barrel: $19.95

P.S. Any local Utahns know where one might find a good knife/cooking class?

I stumbled across Terofoma yesterday and was impressed by the collection of dinnerware and flatware that they have. My favorite is the Oyyo White collection shown above ($17 – $130) but I am also a sucker for their new felt flatpack breadbasket shown below. Why is it that I get so excited about anything made of felt? Pricing on the breadbasket is still pending, but it should be available this spring in soft white, spring green, deep brown, and quite grey.

Available from Teroforma.

If you are an Alessi fan, I suggest you head on over to Gilt.com ASAP! They currently have a smorgasbord of Alessi goodies at their usual bargain basement discount prices. The sale started yesterday, and experience tells me that these things usually sell out pretty quick. Remember, Gilt is for members only, but it’s free to sign up.

Alessi on Gilt.com from $17 – $168.

Created by Japanese design studio &Design, the Pentagon and Hexagon watches are inspired by soccer balls. I love the contrasting face/hands! Made of an ABS plastic case, acrylic crystal, and a polyurethane band. Available from the MoMA Store. Minimalists and soccer fans rejoice!

Pentagon and Hexagon Watches: $75 ($67.50 for MoMA Members)
