I’m completely taken in by these porcelain penguins: these ceramic table toppers are part of the Pinguin Reitableware series by Luiz Pellanda & Aleverson Ecker. Each sleek little penguin can be either a vinegar or oil dispenser, and their accompanying icebergs hold salt and pepper.

I can’t decide what I love most about these– the simple and clean shape, the glossy whiteness of their bodies, or the little gold crown atop their heads. They look quizzical but willing to help, and would fit in perfectly with a variety of kitchen decor. You can buy them from Holaria here.

Vera Wiedermann has created a very clever pendant glass alarm clock powered with water.

” Social conventions are defined by time and success. Every day, we are pressured to complete many different tasks. This daily rhythm ignores our need to sleep, and yet it is sleep that makes this rhythm possible. We need to pay closer attention to sleep.”

By filling the alarm clock with water, we focus our attention on the duration of sleep. The task itself becomes a ritual which positively influences our rest. As opposed to the incessant ticking sound of a regular clock, here time passes silently and purely mechanically. As the drops of water fall, the glass bowl becomes lighter and finally lets the hammer fall. As the tone bounces between the singing bowls, we are gently awakened and a new day begins.Time is something hard to grasp, but sleep is an experience!

The special, limited edition Behance DODOcase is a handmade iPad case inspired by the journals of your favorite artists. Made in San Francisco, California using traditional book binding techniques, the DODOcase brings a classic look to protecting your iPad.

The DODOcase was founded by a small team in San Francisco with the desire to manufacture things locally and help keep the art of bookbinding alive and well. Behance partnered with DODOcase to design a limited edition version - each with a Behance mark on the spine and interior of the case.
