Concrete: Natura Morta by Studio Toogood and Martin Luther Church by Cooop Himmelblau

Rachel Horn and Justin Kreizel Airstream

I admire the sensibility with which Rachel Horn employed the concept of eastern nomadic lifestyles into this all American nomad's habitat.

Quoting from the NYtimes:

" Rachel Horn, an interior designer, and her husband and business partner, Justin Kreizel, renovated a 1969 Airstream to take to the Burning Man festival, which runs through Sept. 5 in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. The couple splits their time between Los Angeles, where they did the renovation, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

The Endangered Species Erasers could make a boring work day slightly more fun?

The gorilla, polar bear and hippo erasers are by Kikkerland ... you should not have to pay more than $9 for each.
