List: Bright Ideas

We love functionality and we love all things colorful, so when we find functional items in fancy color palettes we do a little dance of joy.

Here are a few things making us dance this afternoon:

1. In addition to being practical and lovely, the Pure Nomad Hotel Box confirms yet again the triumphant state of Danish design. These pretty-patterned cartons make home storage a work of art, and fun too. They stack, they collapse, they contain. We love ‘em.

2. Brits travel in style with Globe-Trotter luggage, handmade trunks that are durable, lightweight and (drum roll please) great looking. We like their Cruise collection. Anything that comes in colors like Jewel Pink and Cruise Blue can’t be bad, right?

3. We love Catalonia for its energy, and we love that this energy is transmitted to Camper’s line of shoes. These shoes are fab. We especially like the orange ones, as well as the “twin shoes” in green.

Perhaps it’s time to dance again, this time in new shoes.
