Cube Clock

$38.00

Designer Natalie Sun’s streamlined Cube Clock is sure to bring an element of elevated artistry to anyone’s morning snooze-button smacking marathon. Its anti-tech persona—it looks like nothing more than a simple wooden cube when idle—is quickly transformed by the snap or tap of a finger, each of which activates the illuminated display and reveals the time, date and temperature. Though “the blend of streamlined organic object and technical function” is likely the last thing you’ll consider as you tap that snooze button, just one last time.

Time

$25.00

Exploring the mind-bending question, “What does contemporary actually mean?” The MIT Press book, “Time,” explores how we measure minutes. If clock time is but a construct of capitalist structure, how else can we examine this abstract concept? Essays from thinkers like Walter Benjamin and Bruno Latour do so through the lens of recent art, which eschews this chronological experience for a new perspective. A heady read, this book is a great choice for academic intellectuals who appreciate art and want to dip a toe in further to the subject.

Lucid Dreaming Mask

$95.00

On average, we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping. Therefore, any investment in a better sleep experience—be it high thread count sheets or bank-breaking beds—is completely acceptable. Yet, no matter how wonderful our down pillows, a bad nightmare really sends the whole experience straight to hell. Welcome, a dreamcatcher for a new millennium. Designed by Remee, this robotic, LED-flashing eye mask guarantees the wearer more lucid dreams–—that is, the ability to understand that you are dreaming while in the dreaming state, to take some control and fully relax.

Doggy Radio

$2,500.00

Cult-favorite Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara’s iconic lonesome puppy has taken on many forms throughout his work, from larger than life statue to magical storybook character. Having confessed dark memories of a real-life abandonment of his own childhood pup, Nara’s dog interpretations are said to represent the ideal of a permanent companion, stable and eternal, if not somewhat menacing to behold. Now, in collaboration with MoMA, Nara has released a replication of his iconic sculpture reincarnated into an interactive radio, which responds to the same actions as a real-life pet: touch his chin to turn him on, pet his chin to change the volume, and so on. Only 3000 of these collector pieces were produced, with only 1000 available in the US—a rare breed indeed.

World’s Greatest Laundry Bag

$49.00

Scavenge for quarters, haul a heavy load down three flights, embarrassingly sort dirty gym clothes in semi-public space—and that’s only the beginning. But we continue the task because the reward of clean undergarments far outweighs the hours lost amidst the machines. This sturdy bag is roomy enough for even the least frequent of launderers, and is sewn in Massachusetts from a natural army duck canvas, revered for its stench-rearing capabilities. Best of all, the sack is emblazoned with a mantra we can chant along with each spin of the dryer and try to understand where that other sock went: “You will feel great when this is all done.” Amen.
