Designer Vadim Kibardin may still be looking for a manufacturer to produce his Black & White Clock, but the idea is definitely worthy of serious consideration. The four digit digital clock features OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) lights that change from dark during the day to white at night for added visibility.

We recently featured the Alder series from Brent Comber and thought we would follow up with his "Solids" collection which as the name implies includes an array of solid wood benches, stools, and occasional tables. A shot of the Chambers Art Hotel in Minneapolis lobby shows the Long Saddle 13 d x 60 w x 18 h 160lbs, and the Rite round table 17 d x 23 w x 17.5 h 150lbs at home among their modern art and furniture. Most of the collection is Douglas Fir with a clear finish which allows all of the natural graining and characteristics of the wood to show through. See the rest of the Solids collection and the equally stylish Shattered series here.

It seems that many recipes call for chopping onion or garlic which can be time consuming. I have a large Cuisinart that is useful, but at the same time quite a lot to contend with depending on the size of the recipe. This product from Williams Sonoma is called the "Vegetable Chop & Measure". There are currently 84 reviews which for the most part are very favorable. I just got through watching the video. Tell me what you think if this is a worthwhile kitchen gadget or not? It did meet my first requirement that it is dishwasher safe! Price: $30. Available: here.

See the rest of the Itay Ohaly collection of totally different (in a good way) furniture and decorative accessories that invoke thought and a second look here.
