I am really liking the color of the Cyan Nylon Messenger by Incase. They do it right over there. The cam buckle on the strap and the zippered pocket on the flap are both smart touches. And the tapered/seated buckles are nicely done too.

The retro-futuro watches from Lip look like they were designed in the 1950′s for the flying car age of the 2000′s. The brand was recently relaunched, and the Mythic (left) and Fridge (right) are two watches in the new line. They are available at Watchisimo.

I thought that these table saw blades from Freud Tools were interesting when looked at together. Each blade caters to a different need based on cut and material type. And if you’ve ever pushed a large piece of wood through a table saw, having the right blade can make a big difference.

Tal Mor sent over a link to his industrial design studio – Dag-designlab. There aren’t many projects up yet, but I love what is there, especially these salt shakers – a pebble-like plastic container holds the salt, and a silicone wrapping hides the plastic – you squeeze the shaker to reveal the holes. Seems like a great way to protect your salt from moisture.

Also nice is his Negev Table – a side table/coffee table that was inspired by the Negev desert.

Finally, Tal’s Stopper Postcard – for those of you not satisfied with the post office’s cancellation stamp – the sender hits ‘start’ when the postcard is put in the mail, giving the receiver a way to measure the exact duration of time from when the card left the sender’s hands to the moment that the card is in their own hands…unless of course the postman decides to stop the clock first…

More of Dag-designlab’s work is available here.

Two nice vessels from the Cooper Hewitt Design Shop. One will cost you bank and one might help you get there. Left is the Paro Goblet designed by Achille Castiglioni and right is the TankBank designed by Larry Dinkelman.

The Stowaway from Timbuk2 smartly solves a very important problem: how to build an 2x expandable bag that actually works well. Walking around the city, it helps to have a versatile bag that is both small and big at the same time. 240 cubes is still fairly small, but big enough to go from carrying bare essentials to a fleece, a camera and a water bottle.

The Newton is another stunner of a watch from the crew at Nixon. I like the how the two ‘electrons’ whirl around the center. The look is reminiscent of imagined space travel gear by 1960′s Italian designers.

How awesome is this? Kenji Miyazaki designed these EAT wallet for Erect. They help keep the environment clean by providing portable storage space your cigarette butts, until you can dispose of them permanently in a garbage can. No offense to smokers, but discarded cigarette butts are one of my pet peeves, and this provides a nice solution to the problem! I would imagine this could be a great coin wallet, as well.

The Leica M8.2 Special Edition “Safari” looks pretty slick. I have never had the privilege to own a Leica, but someday I hope to join the club. They’re just so well-designed for what they do: durable, compact, unassuming. The green fatigue color is the only thing that really sets it apart from the standard M8.2. I wonder about why a 28mm lens would be for the wild safari types, you would have to get pretty close to the animals, wouldn’t you?

I came across the Lippi Selk Bag in an issue of Backpacker this past weekend. Instead of a sleeping bag, you would use one of these insulated suits to sleep in to allow more freedom in sleeping positions. The temperature ratings are for moderate to cool weather. It would be fun to wear one of these for a snowball fight, you’d feel like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
