GROWLER CAGE

Cup holders aren’t really conducive to growlers. It makes traveling with 64 ounces of some fresh brew a tad annoying. What’s even more challenging? Transporting that beer while you’re riding your bike. The Growler Cage will make sure your fresh-from-the-tap beverage makes it home safely when you’re riding your two-wheeler. Each is made with a steel core that is wrapped up in a soft, waterproof neoprene to keep that fragile growler secure. Available in 10 different colors, Growler Cages are made one at a time in Minneapolis. Now you don’t have to worry about your beer rolling around in a basket on the front of your bike.

GALAXY S4 SWITCH COVER BY 11+

Galaxy S4 Switch Cover is a minimalist design created by Cloud&Co for 11+. The case is composed mainly of polyurethane, which is a material that can be either rigid or flexible. The front cover can be removed to allow the user to mix-and-match various combinations of colors. The current selection of colors are inspired from Pantone’s accent color palettes, and include Clay Brown, EJ Blue, Dim Grey, Inspiring Orange, and Gold Pink

The back cover uses a special re-appliable adhesive pad that is easy to apply and leaves no residue upon removal. The pad was designed so that the cover is taking up as little space as possible, while still encasing the phone from external shocks and impacts. The front cover sports small pockets that perfectly fit credit cards, business cards, and cash. The Switch Cover is perfect for going out at night, as it eliminates the need to bring a separate wallet alongside the phone.

While 11+ typically commits $1 of every purchase to charity, the brand intends to donate the entirety of their sales profits from the Switch Cover to UNICEF’s ‘Gifts of Water’ campaign. Aside from the Switch Cover’s beautiful minimalist design, I love the texture and feel of the polyurethane material, which feels a bit like rubber, but smoother.

HAND-PAINTED GEOMETRIC FURNITURE BY VOLK

Brooklyn-based company VOLK introduced some new pieces this year during New York Design Week that feature hand-painted designs full of geometry, color and pattern.

Gorgeous, hand-selected wood pieces are embellished with hand-painted patterns on linen in sun-washed colors. Brass details further adorn them, adding a bit of elegance.

These modular tables create triangular and hexagonal shapes when joined as a whole, but look great no matter how you decide to arrange them.

RAINBOW STORAGE BY EMMANUELE MOUREAUX ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN

Collaborating with German furniture company, Schonbuch, Emmanuelle Moureaux created a colorful series of storage units called Mille-Feuille. Resembling layers of rainbow-colored sheets of paper that were tossed in the air and then settled randomly into the off-center piles they are now, the units reflect the designer’s love of color, as seen in her previous work on theSugamo Shinkin Bank project.

The handmade storage units are made out of layers of lacquered MDF and are available in three sizes – 21 layers for a multicolor cabinet, 12 layers for a green-blue low cabinet, and 8 layers for a yellow-pink bedside cabinet, each with their “hidden” drawers.
