+ The Cutting Edge range of Selina Rose products includes wallcoverings, table runners and rugs, all in thick wool felt with intricate cut-outs. A nice alternative to traditional woven rugs.
+ RKS and JBL are releasing the next generation of EON portable speakers.
+ The Sumizara charcoal ashtray by Akihiro Kumagaya acts as a deodorizer when cigarettes are put out.
+ Christian Swafford's Partition tableware depicts the wall at the U.S./Mexico border.
+ X marks the spot on Luis Porem's FlaquƩ table, both as an aesthetic device and a pillar of support.
+ Ramon Ubeda and Otto Canalda's Inout lamp for Metalarte has won a 2008 Good Design Award in the products for interior design category. As the name suggests the lamp works equally well inside and outside.
