Add a burst of style to your home bar with this Smith Topless Bottle Opener. Made in the usa from forged steel, it features an angular, architectural design that's easy to handle and a notched tooth for better grip on the cap. It even comes with a black leather sheath should you want to take the show on the road — but with looks this good, you'd better keep an eye on it lest you return home empty handed.

It's rather counterintuitive that a light bulb would be designed around helping you sleep better, but that's the case with the Saffron Drift Light. Powered by high-efficiency LEDs, the Drift puts out warmer light than most bulbs — which is good for melatonin production — and mimics the natural sunset by slowly dimming over 37 minutes, providing a smooth transition to sleep. Need a little bit of light on? Not to worry, as it also has a Moonlight Mode that will keep you from taking up outlets with night lights.
Inspired by the small mouth Bell Mason jar, the Machine Era Tumbler is by no means cheap — but it's also likely the last cup you'll ever need. The 6.7 oz cup is machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, with thick walls to hold in the cold, a hard, food-safe anodized coating, and a handsome, hand-sewn leather sleeve that insulates even more while offering an added bit of grip.

Putting your hands all over your toilet is the last thing you should ever do if you want to keep yourself healthy — whether you're leaving behind your germs or picking up someone else's. But with Kohler Touchless Toilets, you can avoid most of those nasty touches, by either replacing your toilet entirely with one of their touchless models, or by retrofitting your existing one with one of their kits. Each uses motion-sensing technology to flush with the simple wave of a hand — so all you have to do is master lifting the seat with your foot. But please, remember, this still isn't an excuse to skip washing your hands.
There's nothing quite like a classic — and few shoe silhouettes say classic the way the 574 does, with a legacy that dates all the way back to 1988. Though plenty of new colorways have been introduced since the original gray, black, and white, none stand out like the New Balance Neon Lights 574. Available in several bold color combinations accentuated by bright neon highlights, these shoes feature glow-in-the-dark technology that illuminates them at night. Combining luminous accent colors with the cushioning of an ENCAP midsole, they're the ideal blend of time-tested wearability and unique, exciting style.
It might be called an armchair, but the Armada Armchair is as much a sculptural piece as it is seating. Surprisingly devoid of arm rests — you know, the things that make an armchair an armchair — this sleek seat features a bottom frame made from solid wood like American Walnut, Elm, Cherry, and Pear, and a seat that's a combination of thin steel covered by high-quality leather or fur. Feel like adding a pillow? Not to worry — the Armada's clean lines are safe thanks to a magnetic attachment system.

Looking more like a piece of Cylon technology than anything made by human hands, the La Marzocco Mistral Espresso Machine would feel right at home in your geeky office space or quirky coffee shop. In slight of its intimidating appearance and commercial build-quality, this machine is easy to use once it's all set up, letting you brew great espresso and steam milk like a pro.

Designed in 1957 and produced until the 1970's — when the factory burned down — the Scandia Senior Easy Chair is a classic piece of Scandinavian design reborn. Working closely with the original manufacturers, this sleek chair has recreated in perfect detail, including the laminated and lacquered American Walnut seat, the dark brown leather cushion, and the satin chrome base. Guaranteed to look great in any space, from a SoHo loft to a mountain cabin.
You don't have to give up a ton of counter space to keep a great blender handy. The new Vitamix S30 can handle nearly any blending need while measuring just under six inches wide. Inside its sleek, built-in-Ohio body you'll find a powerful 790-watt motor that can handle ice, whole food ingredients, or nearly anything else you can throw at it. Hook it to the interchangeable base with laser-cut stainless steel blades, and then choose your BPA-free container — it comes with a 40 oz. container for soups, sauces, and other large batch jobs, and a 20 oz. container for single servings that even includes a flip-top lid to go directly from your counter to the road.

The frame is perfectly crafted from natural, solid beech wood, while the sling is made from full grain leather.

With springtime here, you're probably thinking you'd like to put your green thumb to use, but if you live in an apartment or a condo without a yard, you might yourself in a bit of a bind. But with the Modern Sprout Plug-In Planter, you don't need a green space — all you need is a window with plenty of sunlight and a place to plug it in. Concealed inside its attractive exterior (available in weathered gray wood, reclaimed wood, gloss white, or chalkboard) is a fully-functioning hydroponic system that automatically takes care of watering and feeding. So even if you have no idea what you're doing, you can at least look like you do.
After years of contention, litigation, and general difficulty, the mid-century modern design created by Norman Cherner, the Cherner Task Chair has reemerged. Based on original sketches and prototypes created in the 1950s, the update of this classic chair is the result of Cherner's sons' work to revive their father's vision. With its five casters, swiveling design, height-adjustable seat, and comfortable armrests, this task chair is a work horse that will get you through a hard day on the job. Made from steel and walnut, it has an aesthetic that reveals its strength and utility, while looking right at home in just about any workspace.
Your desk should make it easier to work — not get in your way — it should inspire you, keep all your tools within easy reach, and generally make your job more convenient. Crafted from beautiful maple or walnut wood, the Artifox Desk features slots meant to hold your phone and tablet, while cable management lets you keep all your devices powered without unsightly wires all over the place. A built-in dry erase board lets you make to-do lists, organize your thoughts, and come up with ideas, all within arm's reach. And its simple, yet highly-functional design means it'll look great in any space.
Electric coffeemakers make it far too easy to brew a cup of coffee — they remove you from the process, taking it out of your hands and resulting in coffee that tastes mass-produced — which is why pour-over brewing has become so popular among people who really care about their coffee. The Manual Coffeemaker puts the control back in your hands, letting you brew individual cups that perfectly suit your taste. The machine is handcrafted from double-wall sculpted glass, letting you view the process while holding in all the necessary heat. Just place a filter into the funnel at the top, pour water over the grounds, and let it fill the included carafe — it brews one cup at a time, making it perfect for small offices or individual use.
Most juicers are good at one thing: turning whole fruits into tasty, healthy liquids. While the Krups ZB500 Infinity Slow Juicer can handle that job with aplomb, it's got a trick that most juicers don't. Thanks to its two separate stainless steel baskets, you can choose the finer grid basket for making juices and cocktails, or go with the coarser basket for a head-start on sauces, smoothies, and coulis. And thanks to a super-silent motor, you don't have to worry about waking up the whole house every time you want a drink.
Notebooks are great, but unless you're writing in pencil, they're one-use affairs. Whiteboards are great for sharing ideas with others — but who wants to carry around a whiteboard everywhere? Nuboard combines the two into a slick sketching and sharing tool. This A4-sized notebook features multiple pages of whiteboard-like material, separated by translucent sheets that let you expand on your thoughts with overlays. It's like a full presentation, only in notebook form.
