Goat Mug by Desnahemisfera

Goat is a practical and sustainable coffee mug, paying homage to the goats that discovered coffee. Its horn shape not only tells the original story of coffee but also helps you drink the last sip and makes you look good (I bet guys know the thing about Georgian festive tradition of drinking wine from horns). The leather holder simply turns into a coffee mug stand, so you can easily keep the mug on your desk. Designed by Slovenian Desnahemisfera studio and available for preorder on Kickstarter Project (just reserved one for myself:)

Wong Kar Wine Winebar, Saint-Petersburg by Plan-S23

The expansion of European wine culture to Asia have not been that huge so far as during the last decade. The juxtaposition of classic winery and asian food went very well, and inspired a lot of urban food points. St.Petersburg-based happy three friends were no exception to open a new bar with a tricky name of "Wong Kar Wine" that has mixed up the love to good wine, movies and asian food at one place. Guys asked Plan-S23 design studio to create the space, and without any doubts Maxim Scherbakov and Kate Tolstykh did their best. The clean-shaped bar furniture has been created by VERSTAK Studio and unique wooden panels - by PROKK. So it happens that the full trio of studios came from Saint-Petersburg what make a big sense when speaking about local Russian design.

The Bold Bakery by Sarah Brockett

Graphic designer Sarah Brockett created the project Bold Bakery, an unconventional bakery that stuffs its cakes and cookies with sarcasm and sass instead of cream and sugar.

Though it’s branding may make it appear cute and friendly, the Bold Bakery is not where you want to purchase Grandma’s birthday cake from. It is, however, the perfect place to have a pie created for your cheating husband, or your bratty pre-teen daughter. This establishment simply oozes with sarcasm and sass. Don’t have anyone on your “shit list”? That’s okay. Plenty of our customers partake in “cake wars”, where they gift their friends with raunchy baked goods for no reason at all. Sometimes a little crude humor and chocolate cake is all you need to get by in life
