06.30.2006Shoe rack attack from j-me
Industrial design houses are like cars. Once you notice a certain brand you'll see it everywhere. We've previously featured j-me's Big Head Coasters and a readling lamp that incorporates a slot for the book in question. These quirky little designs were simple and marvelous, and their newest piece is no exception. The newest offering from j-me is a cool negative space to slide your shoes. The redundantly named "Shoe Rack", is a single piece of bent stainless steel that grabs a toe hold on a pair of sneakers or boots. Cantilevered over a half shelf the balancing act gives a floating appearance, and turns shoe storage into an aesthetically pleasing part of the living space. Via our friends at Big Perk. Available in three and six pair lengths, the shoe rack retails for ~$125 and $180 USD. Posted by Johnny

06.30.2006iBag turntable
Summer has arrived. What better way to relax and beat the heat than getting into the ocean or finding a shady coconut tree to lie under? No coconut trees in Hong Kong? No matter, just as long as you brought some cool tunes, that’ll do for now. Okay, so this may not be a real turntable, but you sure can’t bring a turntable to the beach! This bag has amplified stereo speakers on the outside to play from the radio or the tunes from your iPod or music player. There’s also an inside pouch to hold your player or cell phone. Volume controls are located conveniently on the outside of the bag so you won’t have to dig. It’s also roomy enough for a towel and sunscreen, or other essentials that you may need. Available at Uncommon Goods for $60 USD. Posted by maggie

06.30.2006A cobbler in every kitchen
I know a bit about custom made shoes, and I can say that Mary's book uses some of the same methods that high end shoemakers do. She walks the crafter through creating a plaster cast of the foot and shaping a permanent last around which to make perfectly fit shoes. The tighter fit and lighter construction of women's formal shoes lend themselves well to craft room replication. Tear apart a few pairs of flats, and you'll find that most are only held together by glue! Posted by Johnny
