a fun spin on the traditional piggy bank- 366cm’s save money bank has pre-cut lines along which you can saw to retrieve your hidden stash. requires you to have a saw but hey, some of you might? available right here for 32 euros plus shipping. thanks, vincent!

tivoli also added some great new patterns from by fribert today. i’m loving these fun summer napkins ($8) and petal table runner ($54). click here for the full collection.

brooklyn’s designGO studio introduced a fun new product called the door splat this year. made of 100% rubber, the door splat comes in five playful colors that would be perfect for a child’s room. the door splat won third prize in the umbra-pratt design competition this year and was designed by mino kodama, peter pracilio and ian collings of pratt. together they make up designGO and you can find more info on them and the door splat right here. enjoy!

kenneth at tivoli home added some great new kragh rosenberg textiles to his online selection. i remember a year ago when we all lamented not being able to find kragh stateside, but now tivoli has brought a huge selection to us (along with koo de kir). these new pieces range from $12-$84 and are available right here. thanks for the tip, kenneth. [i still wish i could get the bright purple linens, though!]

hi guys! i hope you’re all enjoying the holiday today. ac and i are getting geared up to leave for a much needed vacation on thursday so i though i’d reach out to you guys and see if you might be able to help us with some recs for the trip! we’ll be in paris and amsterdam june 2-12 and would really appreciate any tips on great shops, restaurants and destinations you’ve visited (they don’t have to be design related)! we’re staying in the marias and then montmartre in paris and we’ll be in amsterdam for my 25th birthday on june 9th, so if you know any fun restaurants or bars for that night, i’d be most appreciative. thanks so much guys, we’re so excited!

[i’ll be posting once a day while i’m gone, but the lovely kate klapfish of three square design will be doing the posting for me. i need a break from the computer so i won’t be answering emails or blogging while i’m away for the week. ps: kate’s a fantastic newsletter and web designer if you ever need someone!]

this week has been a blur of fabulous (and some not-so-fabulous) design. with icff, sideshows and the stationery show, we’ve all been inundated with some really fantastic new furniture, lighting, stationery and accessories. today will be my final icff highlights, but if you’re looking for some more icff coverage, be sure to check out apartment therapy and mocoloco. they’ve already got some galleries and interviews going, so you’re sure to get your icff fix between the three of us. so, the last throws of icff!
