If this lamp looks like its a folded piece of paper that’s because it is. The Claesson Koivisto Rune w101 is a high-tech LED task light that is made of bio-degradable paper. It is built from sandwiched paper sheets of DuraPulp, a mix of paper pulp and starch polymer. For being paper, it is very strong and durable. But the folded geometry of the lamp also makes for rigidity, and is not just for sculptural effect.

Bellroy Take Out Wallet

A little while ago we recommended that you replace your George Costanza with a Bellroy Slim Sleeve Wallet, well we have another option for you too. We liked the Slim Sleeve Wallet so much that we hunted around the Bellroy site for more gems. What we found was something that could probably hold everything you have in your Costanza, but won’t be bursting at the seems. You see, the Take Out Wallet lives in a zipper pouch that can hold a ton. However, it can also shed its coat and let you take it in those tight trendy jeans you’re wearing. Watch the video if you don’t catch.

The Selvedge Chino Tie is a fashionable piece made of 100% cotton. The style is skinny and the color is black with a single line of light stitching at the very end.  The company behind this tie Hill Side also makes other beautiful ties, scarfs and handkerchiefs. Most of their pieces are simple and utilitarian with fabrics sourced from Japan.

The Furo by Toshiyuki Kida is intended not only for bathing but complete relaxation and self reflection. Furo directly translates to bath in Japanese, which is appropriate. It is modeled to be a finely textured bubbles that you can fully submerge into. We kind of see it as a cloud that would float in your bathroom while your float in it.

Jaim Telias is an industrial and interior designer that blows us away. We definitely need to utilize his skills when we redesign The Swag Mag offices. We’re feeling the Alè Lamp and could see it acting as the centerpiece of the whole new interior. Just look at it, it is pretty amazing; however, this is not a surprise from Mr. Telias. He has created many other memorable works and concepts… all of which could find a place in our new digs.

The Briggs Adams Bow is a colorful plaid bow tie. Made with 100 percent cotton the pattern is on the front and back. For ease of wear the tie is self-tying and adjustable. The colors are soft but enough to bring life into your outfit and with the various colors its easy to mix and match with different color shirts.

Oh, boy! We can’t wait for the Dunny Series 2011. They’re like Pokémon with street cred and you pretty much have to catch them all. The only problem is that each box contains a random Dunny from the corresponding series and each one has its own odds. Kidrobot knows what’s up… it makes getting all of them rather difficult but oh so addicting. We’re going to have to make room on our shelf ASAP.

Time to upgrade that George Costanza wallet – maybe downgrade is a better way of saying it – to a more suitable level. With the Slim Sleeve Wallet from Bellroy you can have your cake and eat it too. Yes, it’s “slim” but it can carry up to 15+ cards if you really need to lug that many around. Plus, there are two quick access slots and pull tab to get out all those tight fitting cards. GREAT SUCCESS!

Sometimes all you need to complete your room is light from a single source and a bare light bulb is a great solution. The Lokolo is one of the cooler ones we’ve seen in awhile. When it comes to simple lights its all in the detail. The bulb has a frosted cover with a clear portal. The eye catching element is for sure the red cloth cord that extend out of the fixture.
