How could I not post this?
From Minna Design, this little wooden handle called Motte affixes to your milk carton so you can drink it like a lady. Pinkies up!

Indie Nation
Australian brand Indie Nation has launched a collection of eyewear in raw wood textures. The collection was inspired by artists and designers whose works are created without boundaries and are for those who appreciate a subtle difference with bold details.
Recover Wood Apple Product Decals
Recover is a company based in Portland, Oregon who creates handcrafted wooden skins for Apple products. Recover wooden skins are precision laser-cut from authentic wood veneers.
Each unique piece is hand sanded, stained, and lacquered in Recover’s Portland-based woodshop to ensure long lasting beauty and protection. All skins are constructed with professional-grade 3M adhesive backing that allows for simple and strong adhesion while still allowing for removal if desired. Each one-of-a-kind piece is designed to fit your devices specific model and size.
Yard Sale Project
Yard Sale Project by Ian Spencer is just one of more than 220 highly talented designer/Makers have been chosen to exhibit at Origin: The London Craft Fair, which will take place September 23-29th during this year’s London Design Festival. This Yard Sale Project Roccapina chair — made from 20 different hardwoods — will be part of the exhibition.
Yard Sale Project describes the work as one-off handmade furniture that aims to break free of traditional designs and constructions with a strong sculptural element.
SEMIHandmade
SEMIhandmade, a line of custom doors, panels and drawer faces from the brand Handmade, is launching their line at Dwell on Design. Basically, they offer custom fronts for most standard big box cabinets so that you can get that custom feel without the custom price.
Founder and designer John McDonald sent me some photos to post since I’m not going to Dwell on Design this year (*sniff* darn airfare is too expensive!).
This is an IKEA pantry cabinet turned on its side. They dressed it up with mahogany side panels and facing, added drawers, and built a custom base.
Engraved Bamboo iPhone Cases by Grove
If you’re not a plastic hard case kind of person, then maybe you should turn your attention to these laser-engraved bamboo iPhone cases by Grove. There is a line of Artist Series cases you can choose from, the option to make a custom design, or a plain, blank case if you want it clean and simple. There are three bamboo color options and a variety of metal bezel colors to customize your own look. If you didn’t know, Grove is Joe Mansfield from Engrave, and Ken Tomita from Tomita Designs. They’re quite the dynamic duo. The duo now offers iPhone4 cases as well.
Grove sent me a case to check out, customized just for me. I opted for the medium bamboo color and a silver bezel. I wanted the Design Milk logo engraved in the back. It arrived a few days later. I can’t wait to show it off at ICFF. What I was most impressed with about the case was actually the packaging:
Tegu Wooden Toys
I received a loved package from Tegu, a wooden toy company who creates a fun, yet simple, block toy system that contains magnets. They’re super fun and I played around with them for what was probably too long! So, I guess that means they’re fun for adults too 
Chaos Theorie by Manuel Welsky
This bookshelf designed by Manuel Welsky makes me slightly nervous for some reason. The shelves look like they’ve dealt with some shaking up by a disaster, but this design ensures that the piece is able to resist the weight of many books.
From the website:
At first glance, this definition summarizes the supposed disarrangement of this piece of furniture and at the same time refers to the theory of books. The bookcase captivates with a simple rationale that embraces very clear structures.

Wooden Chandelier by Dizajn Nudrvetu
This oak chandelier by Dizajn Nudrvetu consists of 258 separate pieces that create a series of block shadows on the walls.
Eclipse Table by Stua
The way these tables by Stua nest together reminds me of a caterpillar with longer legs.
