Culture Club: Fleur De Lis Pendant Necklace
Wearing the Fleur De Lis Pendant Necklace ($27) as your signature charm is a great way to show off your excellent taste and sophistication. For centuries, the Fleur de Lis has been a symbol of greatness, even gracing the coat of arms of both French... [More]
Culture Club: Playbutton Mark Borthwick Light Up
"Playbutton is a wearable button that plays music: A record that plays itself." A clever idea needs equally intriguing content. A British experimental filmmaker, photographer, author, and musician gives us what we want. Mark Borthwick's Light Up ($35) is a collection of soft songs characterized... [More]
Culture Club: Tracey Emin Teapot
We were struck by the quality of the wildlife silkscreen on the Tracey Emin Teapot ($300) before we realized what it was. Oh, it's a Tracey friggin' Emin piece that originally showed at the Goss-Michael Foundation, an organization dedicated to British Contemporary art and based... [More]
Culture Club: Equinox Foyer Lantern
The only thing we don't like about the Equinox Foyer Lantern ($162) by Progress Lighting are the flame shaped bulbs, but we can switch those out, lickety split. The interlocking pivoting antique bronze rings steal the show here. Somehow this look is a throwback, but... [More]
Culture Club: Lodis Athena SmartPhone Case
Shimmering blues and a marbled pattern raise the Lodis Athena SmartPhone Case ($48) to a cut above the rest. The detachable wrist-let is a great on-the-go option for when we're running out the door. And, oh yes, snake printed leather - that's totally goddess worthy.... [More]

Culture Club: Shepard Fairey OBEY Card Case
Colleagues will take notice of your business card when it comes out of the Shepard Fairey OBEY Card Case ($39). Artsy clients might even take you more seriously, depending on their view on street art. Yes, of course, you want to know more. Catapulted into... [More]
Culture Club: Tim Burton Playing Cards
There's a different creepy sketch on every one of the Tim Burton Playing Cards ($5). That means at least a few hours of friendly fun between gals and ghouls. If you're looking for a novelty set, it's a good thing we just saved you some... [More]
Culture Club: Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert Clouds
Granted, the lighted installation, Clouds, doesn't resemble actual clouds a whole bunch, we still fell for it pretty hard. It's something about organic light fixtures that gets us. Dreamy and contemporary, this art glass is the tops. French glass artist and designer Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert... [More]
Culture Club: Carved Wood Coffee Table
The Carved Wood Coffee Table ($299) is artisanal by way of Jaipur, India. This gorgeous piece is hand carved from solid mango wood and decorated with rosettes. This table does us a solid in style. Although this was made in India, it takes its inspiration... [More]
Culture Club: Tord Boontje Come Rain Come Shine Chandelier
There's not a hard edge in sight in the Come Rain Come Shine Chandelier ($4950) by Tord Boontje for Artecnica. Crocheted cotton, organza, silk and fabric flowers hug the round metal body underneath. Go with black for drama or choose the multicolored option for a... [More]
Culture Club: Camilla d'Errico Postcards
Notes on the Camilla d'Errico Postcards ($11) get a bright manga inspired makeover. We like that when you send a friend a note on these, you send them into another world with this imaginative set of images. Her fusion of surrealism and anime have made... [More]
Culture Club: Amrita Singh Seneca Necklace
The Seneca nation, or the People of the Hill, were one of the six tribes that made up the Iroquois League--a federation of indigenous peoples who lived in and around New York and Southeastern Canada. They call themselves Haudenosaunee, or People of the Longhouse. Faced... [More]
Culture Club: Andy Warhol Flower Watch
Bangle watches are a dime a dozen these days, but the artsy Andy Warhol Flower Watch ($55) has something else going for it - kitsch. Mr. Warhol merged consumer culture and celebrity iconography to high art status, and here his bright colored blooms do it... [More]
Culture Club: Shachihata Ballpoint Pen with Heart Stamp
Spread some love around the office with the Ballpoint Pen with Heart Stamp ($50) by Naoto Fukasawa for Shachihata. Phone message: ATTN: Supervisor Mr. Doe called. He's still crazy. Couldn't understand a word he said. You could call him back (555-555-5555), but I wouldn't. Shachihata... [More]
Culture Club: Rothshank Flora Platter
The Flora Platter by Justin Rothshank combines digital and hand drawn images in a lovely serving piece. Overlapping decorative motifs and botanical studies make this way more interesting than a regular garden party theme. Tea sandwiches would look great on this curious dish. This story... [More]
Culture Club: Alessi Cohndom Condom Box
We can't think of anything sassier than the Cohndom Condom Box ($50) by Susan Cohn for Alessi. Better safe than sorry, we guess. Better them protected in this metal case than rolling around with nail files, pens, and other pointy objects in our tote. Influential... [More]
Culture Club: Red Carter Jackson Pollock Bikini Top
The Red Carter Jackson Pollock Bikini Top ($53) would give us crazy tan lines, but we can't take our eyes off the splatter print and extra straps. Metal ring hardware and tie strap beading add some shine to this artsy design too. A great, unorthodox... [More]
Culture Club: Lazerian Radiolarian Sofa
We've seen people talking up jewelry by Lazerian, but we're really impressed by their Radiolarian Sofa ($Inquire), part of their Honeycomb furniture collection. Designer Liam Hopkins and artist Richard Sweeney found inspiration in the body structure of the microscopic sea creatures called Radiolaria. This sleek... [More]
Culture Club: Surf Taco by Steven Speir
Hey, college kids, you think yer a real kick, huh? Well, if you wanna get goofy wall art and show off your funny bone, don't get a non sequitur without any artistic sensibility. The Surf Taco by Steven Speir ($15) is amusing and has nice... [More]
Culture Club: Boom Necklace
Nerds unite. Comic-con attendees and fan-girls alike will like the Boom Necklace ($25), if they don't mind a boatload of graphic color. Other gals who wanna pose to get geeky guys (I know, they're too cute), be warned - you might be expected to know... [More]
