At ECAL, Joelle Aeschlimann decided to design Little Boxes that interact via rubber contacts with the surface of your iPad turning them into musical boxes.
Scandinavian Trinket Boxes
These trinket boxes from Scandinavian Iittala come in small and large and are the perfect size to store your jewellery, keys or even craft supplies. They are called Vitriini and would fit seamlessly into a lounge, entry hall or your bedroom, that’s how beautiful they are.The boxes are made from glass and come with either a glass, alluminium or wooden bottom.
The Vitriini boxes range in price from $45 to $130 each and come in a wide range of colours that can be see on both the Iittala and Fjorn Scandinavian websites
A Common Name For Geodes
Paige Smith is a freelance artist who began working on a street project that involved 3 dimensional geodes in pipes, wall cavities and empty boxes on the streets of LA. The geodes serve as unexpected treasure for the public to find and enjoy.
You can get the locations of the rest of the geodes on A Common Name
Giant LEGO Storage
From “A Place From Anything“, comes giant LEGO storage boxes. These storage boxes are very popular in their store and just like the original LEGO bricks, each box can be clicked together and stacked to create a giant LEGO structure. They are a great idea for storage, and the bright colours and similarity to the normal sized LEGO blocks will help kids make cleaning up and putting away their toys more fun, which hopefully will make them neater.
The giant LEGO storage boxes also fit neatly under beds for neat under bed storage.
Modern Music Boxes
I used to have a music box as a child, and every time I hear the tune it used to play, I still get transported back to playing it in my bedroom and watching the ballerina twirl round and round. Well music boxes have changed a little, now there are apples with worms and snowmen and flowers that play a variety of tunes to fit into the most modern of nurseries.

Roku For Streaming Television
Ever since Roku came out with the little box that enables viewers in the United States to stream television stations directly to their televisions, they have been thinking about the next stage in the box’s development – basically, getting even smaller, and guess what, they have succeeded.
TRoRoku now have a USB that plugs directly into the back of your television with all the capabilities of the box. However, for all its similarities to the Roku box, the Roku stick requires a special HDMI port, called MHL which is only available on newer TVs. [Read more...]

Mikoto is a range of bamboo knife blocks, lacquered to a high glossy finish on the outside. In true Asian sensibility, the bamboo knife boxes are filled with skewers that not only allows the user to insert as many or as few knives as will fit, but also to insert the knives is any formation desired. They allow free-form storage that is easily customised to the needs of the kitchen.
The bamboo knife boxes are designed by Austrian designer Martin Robitsch, handmade in Vietnam, and the skewers are removable and washable. The knife boxes are available in smoke, tomato, mandarin, lime, white and black lacquer. [Read more...]
