With the holidays approaching this is a great gift idea! This well designed, humorous knife block will definitely look beautiful on any kitchen counter top. Designed by Raffaele Lannello the man knife holder comes complete with five quality stainless steel knives included and is avaliable in red, black, pink, white, chrome or gold effect finishes. The Ex Voodo Knife Block will definitely be a conversation starter. This can be purchased in the US at Amazon.com and other online stores.

So I came across these wonderful Mac OS doc icon pillows. I now believe in love at first sight. I absolutely love these! Throwboy created these awesome pillows as well as a bunch of others consisting of RSS, chat and halloween themed doc icon pillows. The set is $149 or $29 each. This would make an excellent gift for the holidays.

In today’s mail pile was my current BMW Magazine. I flipped through and saw these awesome concept car designs for BMW in 2025. Students from an Italian design school submitted their visionary concepts for the BMW brand the future of the look of the BMW car.  I really liked the two above and wonder if this is what cars will really look in the future. If and when this article is available online I will post it.

As you all know I love design, food and cooking. Most of my decision purchases seem to be based off of design of the product that it’s packaged in but sometimes it’s the actual product design. I am a very organized person and tend to like things that can make my life easier and more organized. It’s even better when it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and the functionality is just as good. Chef’n's design of the measuring cups allow the cups to collapse and can be stored together for space saving with quick expandability, dish washer safe and heat resistant. I really think design as a whole is slowly changing everything around us from canned goods to eco-friendly products.
