Lalezar Turkish Restaurant
I recently ate at Lalezar’s in Montclair, NJ and had a delicious Turkish dinner. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant in addition to the way they presented the bill to us in this unique box.

Din-Ink
Today I came across a magazine tear from Fast Company for some time ago and thought I would still share. Zo-Loft design developed a Din-ink series of Bic pen tops which allow you to instantly convert the pen into ready made cutlery. Each pen cap is a fork, spoon or knife head. How eco-friendly and an interesting way to use an everyday product.
Pirana Joe’s
This past summer while I was in the Bahamas I came across this fun t-shirt and souvenir shop called Pirana Joe’s. I loved the detail in their packaging and t-shirt tags. It was very unique and well branded.

A friend of mine showed this to me recently. Amazing video taken and edited all on the iPhone 4.
REI
I was recently at REI prior to a camping trip and I had a great appreciation for the design of the door handles which are ice picks. I thought it was very appropriate for this outdoors store. The first time I remember seeing such a thing was years ago at Commerce Banks with their logo being the door handles.
Apple Nano 6G as a watch

Leave it to Apple and it’s 3rd party companies to make actual wrist bands to convert the 6G nano into a watch. The original idea was just done with a leather band from an existing watch. Amazing what people come up with.
Marni
At one of Las Vegas’s newest casinos, Crystals I stumbled upon Marni’s
window display. The window display of the store was playful as it represented an abstracted clothing line in a unique form displaying women’s clothing. While on Marni’s website, I came across a video for The Denim Project which was pretty fun as well.
