The Pisa Tower shelving unit gets its name after the famous tower and borrows some of the aesthetics, but leaves the wonky design at the door. The unit is made up of nesting boxes that sit on top of each other when they are skewed. A bit of extra stability is provided by way of an elastic rope.

With a stunning Russian-made vacuum tube as its centerpiece, the Ice Cube Clock Kit from the Maker Shed looks like a fun project for the holiday season. There are only 25 in stock, but the folks at the shed do aim on getting some more in, so if you miss out it is not the end of the world.
The Zero Gravity spice holders, one rack and one stand, look a pretty good way to keep your most frequently used spices within reach but out of the way. Each of them hold twelve, the rack puts them in an over-and-under configuration (make shore you put the caps on properly) while the stand holds all of the canisters horizontally.
There are tons of well-designed spice holders/racks on the market, but I really like the idea of having magnets.
Price: The Spice Rack and Spice Stand are priced at $44 and $49, respectively.
If there is one thing that the Dyson company is good at, it is testing the boundaries of what people are prepared to pay for cool versions of common household items. Which is why the Air Multiplier comes as a bit of a surprise – it is expensive, and it has a cool design, but it falls short in the performance department. (more…)
