Cool Finds. The new design blog.

The Flap (almost) indefinitely adjustable sofa.
Designed in 2000 by Francesco Binfaré, the Flap's distinctive shape and multiple adjustable back rests make it one of the most instantly recognizable of the sofas designed in the last decade. USD 10,155:- plus VAT in fabric, USD 12,414:- in leather from Europe by Net. If it has not been sold since, there's a demo example in white leather for sale in the Normann showroom in Copenhagen for around DKK 55,000:-. That seems like a bargain at USD 9,400:-!

Sperm plate.
They say it's a biscuit porcelain plate with "relief" designs. And by all means, sure they are in relief. But they look a lot like sperm to me. Design by Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel for the Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum, The Netherlands. The plate is 5 inches in diameter and will set you back USD 120:- at Moss.

Eboniste stainless steel minimalist mailbox

Stainless steel minimalist mailbox.
Laser cut, press formed, machine fused, brushed hairline finish, key lock on back, even with a matching stainless nameplate for engraving. How could you resist this ultra minimalist stainless steel mail box even though it has not been submitted for USPS rating. Maybe because they want you to shell out a 50 percent deposit up front with your order. I don't think so. Would you? It's USD 750:- on Eboniste.
