If you are anything like us and get bored to tears sifting through websites to find the glassware you’re looking for, you’ll want to run over and plant a big kiss on the designer who created the Flash [Ed note: thanks Daniel] javascript design for Luigi Bormioli’s site. Instead of clicking from page to page, the entire array of Luigi Bormioli’s lovely fifth collection are displayed in silhouette at the bottom of the page. If you’re looking for a decanter, click on the image of the decanter and you’ll see the curvy piece in dazzling detail. Want a short mug? Click on that and an image and facts about the item will be displayed in the center of your screen along with the rest of the collection which you can then easily scroll through. We think you get the picture, but just in case, we urge you to check out his site. More websites should take our needs into consideration. Speaking of, where is our afternoon massage?

We miss arcades. Mainly because they were a great place for scoping hot guys and eating massive amounts of sugar. But now, we can relive those moments — home decor style — with Surface Tension’s HangUP Arcade Coat Hooks. The wall-mountable organizer comes on the sneaker-clad heels of their modern arcade table and allows you to show off your geekiness without looking like a total nerd. Though the standard designs feature four sticks and the 3-player or 4-player button, but you can choose from a variety of colors and 1 and 2-player buttons are available options as are a variety of backdrops if black walnut is just not your thing.

When looking good and doing good come together, we at Josh Spear are happy. In this case, this feel goodness is being brought to you by a fictional character and her store. In 1998, Ben Sander conceived of Brini Maxwell, a British woman who is “part Doris Day, part Mary Tyler Moore,” and had her share retro domestic knowledge via an NYC cable access show – which was picked up for a time by the Style Network. And recently, Ben had the idea to have Maxwell launch her own company, Felix Populi.

Coasters, aprons, and dishtowels produced by Felix Populi are mostly available in cheery, bold colors. However, the fictional Brit has also designed a mod-inspired line of pillows that features the designs of a rotary phone, a VW bug, an LP, and the face of Maxwell herself. Even better, each month Felix Populi gives 10 percent of their profits to charity. This month, it’s MANNA, a Philly-based organization that delivers food to those who have life-threatening illnesses. So shop happy.

Always ones to mix the expected with the unexpected, La tete au cube returns with more unique items for the fall, including a votive candle that burns for 48 hours and updates its progress via a bar on the side, a coat hanger/candleholder that makes it even easier to burn your house down, and precious cotton napkins that will make your picnic guest think they’re crawling with ants.
