The Hypnose Sofa by Rafael Simoes Miranda features a hypnotic optical illusion pattern that's really cool but is sure to make you feel a little dizzy. I won't post the optical illusion picture because I don't want to feel queasy every time I look at my blog but if you're curious you can see it here!

The Whirl Collection
The Whirl Collection by Kim Westad Ceramics is a selection of hand thrown porcelain serving platters and bowls that feature a whirl or swirl in the center. They look like delicate seashells to me and many of them are perfect for serving crackers and dip or salsa and tortilla chips in a beautiful and unique way.

Key To The City Ring
When I was growing up many of my favorite books involved keys and what they symbolize has always been interesting to me. This whimsical Key To The City Ring is a golden key that's been transformed into a beautiful ring!

Milk Glass LED Lamp
This may look like an ordinary glass of milk (aside from the fact that it appears to be glowing eerily) but it's really an LED lamp (which explains the eerie glowing). The lamp turns on when it's upright and it turns off when it's placed upside down.

Brainforest
Booooooom.com has made a fantastic post about this piece of art by Gerda Steiner and Jorg Lenzlinger named "Brainforest". The photos are incredible and though I've only included a couple in this post I can assure you that I had a very difficult time choosing just one or two.
Click here to see the rest!

KAI P. Dental floss dispenser
This KAI P. Dental Floss Dispenser by Koziol is shaped like a cute little fish with really big, sharp teeth. I don't think I doubt this guy's ability to cut my dental floss to just the right size...and he looks like he might know a thing or two about dental care.

Retro Valentines
These retro valentines are absolutely adorable and I couldn't resist sharing them here. They really bring back memories from when I was a kid and I forgot how much I enjoyed choosing valentines for every child in my class. I know I got my fair share of classic kitschy valentine's day cards like these in return too! These ones are available for $8 from Fred Flare.
