Simple minimal design that works hard. It seems the Scandinavians can do no wrong when it comes to engineering thought provoking, clean design. This two piece dustpan elegantly forms harmony as one piece as the handle of the sweeper slides inline within the handle of the funnel.
The funnel itself collects and then directs it’s contents to their final resting place.
Produced by MENU, this winner of the 2014 *wallpaper design award will also be a winner in your kitchen.

AquaFarm lets you create your very own ecosystem, with your very own fish tank herb garden.
Aquaponics, the science behind the water garden, is the relationship between aquaculture ( fish cultivation) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil), it allows good bacteria to convert toxic ammonia-rich fish poop into nitrates, which provides the plants the nutrients they need to grow.
To enjoy your fish tank herb garden, you won’t need to water your herbs, however you will still need to feed your fish.

Powerplay is a macbook cord organizer designed to keep your cables tucked away even while in use. Handmade by abovethefray.co, the organizer is made up of an elastic strap and organic leather reel.
Simply fit the elastic strap around your adapter, shape your cable into a U-shape to avoid strain on the charger, then wrap the cable around the leather reel. Once you reach your desired length, pull the cable up and through the right side eyehook.
The woven elastic strap comes in ethnic, stripes and camouflage, while the organic leather is available in 9 colors, which means this minimal macbook cord organizer will not only keep your cables in check, it’ll do it in style.
Being based in Thailand it’s also nice to know that the creator Achara Masoodi pays her workers well above the minimum wage.

These cartoon school bags by jumpfrompaper offer a window into the world of the surreal. Anyone old enough to remember “Who framed Roger Rabbit” will appreciate this non-postproduction trick.
Imagined by Taipei based designers, Rika Lin and Chay Su, these 2d creations are made to look as though they have come straight off the paper, and with their heavy outlines and bold color palette they really do!
The cartoon bag range was thought up in 2010 when Rika and Chay’s where drawing designer bags on paper. They thought it would be cool if the drawings could be apart of real life and jumpfrompaper’ cartoon optical illusion was born.
Available in cartoon school bags, clutches, handbags, and messenger bags be prepared to really stand out from the crowd.
