Cire Trudon

Cire Trudon permalink

Cire Trudon are the oldest candle maker in France. They’ve made candles for the court of Versailles and they’ve stayed true to their original vegetal wax formula since 1643. This makes them way more O.G. than Ice-T.

“Reversible Destiny” Lofts permalink

Built by a pair of artist/architects who believe that “It’s immoral that people have to die”, these reversible destiny lofts are intended to outlaw aging and it’s consequences. It wasn’t our intention to get super deep here...we like ‘em for their whimsy quotient and their colorful exterior. (Via treehugger.)

Persian Jigsaw Rug

Persian Jigsaw Rug permalink

This modular “rug” from Katrin Sonnleitner is made from a recyclable mixture of synthetic and natural rubber and lets you create your own Persian style rug from jigsaw shaped pieces. You better have alot of coffee -or alot of time on your hands- to get this crafty.  Definitely for the Virgos. (Via Torc.)

Jeremy Fish Accessorizes permalink

First there was the Dalek shower curtain. Now Jeremy Fish throws his hat in the accessories ring with his Superficial line.  We like the lifestyle products expansion route some of our favorite artists are taking just so long as they keep it tasteful. Both these guys have done just that. Bonus: we’ve got ‘em.

Flavor Plate

Flavor Plate permalink

An obscure 1988 Flavor Flav reference yesterday and now a plate bearing his loony likeness? What are the chances?!? Imagine scraping your plate clean only to see handsome, roguish William Drayton looking up at you...that would make our night.

Ornament Discontinued

Ornament Discontinued permalink

In light of the very tragic gun violence that has plagued our home city of Philadelphia over the past few weeks, we have decided to discontinue offering the gun ornament featured in our holiday catalog. This item was always meant as an ironic twist on a traditional holiday staple and not in any way a celebration of guns or violence. We all share in this terrible crisis and our thoughts go out to the victims and the families of those affected.
