The MoMA mail order catalog has page after page of great gift ideas. Everything offered is absolutely first class, something you’d be proud to present as a gift. The Museum of Modern Art catalog carries the very latest designs from around the world. Even the toughest challenges are no match for this catalog. If you’re looking for a big ticket or small ticket gift, you’ll find it here. For INSPIRING DESIGN, there’s a STRiDA 5.0 Bicycle (compact and portable) at one end of the spectrum and the Windrunner Bicycle Clips (keeps pant leg free from chain) at the other. From several hundred to just a few bucks, either one sports the latest in styling.The Zub Zen Watch is a departure from standard timepieces because it displays the progression of time graphically. The Travel Speakers are innovatively designed and pocket-sized for stereo sound on-the-go.
Everyone needs a reliable resource for great gift ideas. FOR THE HOME, here’s a sampling of what I found interesting. There’s a small table with a striking design — a single piece of sturdy ribbed aluminum is bent to create a top with two shelves beneath. You’ve got to see it! Who couldn’t use the Cordless Doorbell with a chime offering five tunes. You’ve got to hear this one. The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is considered among the most significant and collectable furniture designs of the 20th century. (We’re talking “big ticket” here.) Smaller ticket — the Lounge Watering Can in matte stainless steel, a Metz & Kindler design. Designer ADAM FRANK created an unusual Lumen Oil Lamp: a small oil lamp that produces a flame just half an inch high is combined with a detailed silhouette of a tree so that it casts the sharow of the tree.
There are special items for all occasions that are DESIGNED TO ENTERTAIN: For serving salads, designer David Mayhew wsas inspired by the graceful shape of a whale’s tail when he came up with Magnetic Wooden Tongs made of Jamjur ee wood. A set of Woven Placemats and Coasters makes for a distinctive yet inexpensive gift. Designer Sandy Chilewich uses a complex technique of weaving resulting in vinyl placemats with elegant gradations of color. Simple but striking! This one’s really neat — Chalkboard Napkin Rings that double as reusable place cards. Use the furnished slate pencil to write your guests names directly on the napkin ring. A sponge eraser removes the names later so your ready for another party.
Now that we’re talking party, how about gift ideas FOR THE HOST. Check out the Pop-Up Bottle Cap Remover. Designer Giovanni Alessi Anghini created this egg-shapped bottle cap remover that uses a pressure mechanism to open bottles with ease and flair! Monika Lubcowska-Jones designed the stunning Kolo Tumblers. These mouth-blown whiskey glasses each have a unique complementary shape. For the wall, Jacob Wagner was inspired by coiled and branching grapevines when he created the Grapevine Wine Rack which makes bottles appear to float horizontally near the wall. The polished aluminum gives the rack a rich look. For wine lovers, Martin Stone and Torben Flanbaum designed a Decanting Wine Pourer that aerates wine instantly as it’s poured and prevents it from spilling. It’s a imple device of stainless steel and rubber that inserts into the top of the wine bottle. Magnetic Coasters, designed by Will Prindle, are made of attractive aluminum with cleverly embedded magnets so they can be stracked perfectly.
That’s just a quick sampling of gift ideas in this free catalog. As you go through it, you’ll find ideas for DINING IN, DESSERT TIME, the WORKING KITCHEN, DESIGN THAT WORKS, ideas FOR HIM, FOR HER, for the MODERN TRAVELER, ideas UNDER $50, stuff that’s DESIGNED FOR KIDS, and FUN & GAMES FOR ALL AGES.
