vivid strada placemats

i really really like these splashy, moroccan tile pattern inspired rubber coasters and placemats from strada. i just saw these a few days ago while shopping at porte rouge on division, and was so pleased to see how bright and substantial they were in person.

purchase them online at vivre.

nooka’s new zub zen 38 watch

innovative new york designer matthew waldman has added a new timepiece, the zub zen 38, to the zub collection for nooka designs.

it features a hefty wide rubber bracelet, and measures 10.5″ x 1.5″.

the face has 2 bars that represent the hours and another for the minutes. there’s a numeric display for seconds and days of week. 

it’s also waterproof, has an alarm, chronograph and backlight, and comes in several bold colors.

i love the hep watchface and the urbane unisex design.
