The Loop Lounger


Not to be confused with last week's Loopty Loopy Loopita, this Loop Lounger from MoMa Store is something totally different. It's collapsible, which is always handy, but it doesn't look like your average folding chair, which is nice also. Made of rust-proof marine grade stainless steel, this indoor/outdoor chaise lounge chair has a white seat made of white plasticized mesh that's easy to clean, and the loopy open design allows for comfortable rocking to help you relax. Made in Italy it measures 34" x 28" x 55", $675.

YoYo Elmar Flototto Floor Lamp


I seem to be finding all the items with tongue twister names lately, but it's worth the risk of sounding like an idiot when their looks are as fun as their names (plus you guys can't hear me trying to read them out loud). Enter the Yo Yo Elmar Flototto Floor Lamp, which will bring to your home the vibe of a large Yo Yo sitting on the floor. The cord wraps around and forms the "string" for the Yo Yo and allows you to roll the lamp anywhere you might need light. Designed by Caterina von Matern and Lisa Lindstrom, it's suggested as great in the garden (outdoor safe?) or as an art piece indoors. $317.98

The Modern Pinwheel


I'm a sucker for accent pieces that find a way to blend the whimsical energy of happy childhood memories with a dose of maturity for the adult I am today. These stainless steel pinwheels from Chiasso take the breezy fun from days past and mix it with a healthy dose of class and durability by creating them of lightweight stainless steel. I think they'd make a fun summertime addition indoors or out, and considering the average plastic pinwheel goes for $2 or less, these are actually a little pricey at $15 each.

Make Snow Indoors with SnoWonder

Ski resorts aren't the only ones that can make their own snow. SnoWonder is "the most amazing man-made snow on the market," and is very similar to real snow in appearance and feel. Unlike the snow made by machines at ski resorts, SnoWonder is made with more than just water and low temperatures. The product was originally developed in Japan for use in indoor ski and snowboard parks and is is a nontoxic plastic based powder that, when combined with water, will expand, as snow, to 50-100 times its original volume. The snow can be used on any surface, with the exception of untreated wood, and is ideal for holiday decorating because it will last last for months indoors. It can also be used outside, although it is recommended that it not be used in direct sunlight, as the only thing that will make this snow vanish is evaporation. A spritz of water from time to time will keep it light and fluffy all year long.

Update: Read my review of SnoWonder to see if it lives up to the hype!

Plantwall

If you don't have a "green thumb," maintaining any type of plant life in the house can be difficult, but instead of hiring a gardener for your indoor plants or switching to artificial flowers, you can install a plantwall. The Plantwall is a vertical pant installation that is "almost like being outside inside." It has an integrated irrigation system that distributes water and fertilizer throughout the wall, so there should be no reason for the wall to be anything other than lush and green. The price depends on the size and shape of the wall you want, as well as on the type of plants that you want to showcase.

Sky Ceilings

In an ideal world, everyone would have at least one skylight looking out into a beautiful, clear expanse of space. As it is, we have weather, pollution and sometimes a second-story or upstairs apartment getting in the way of our would-be view. The Sky Factory's Sky Ceilings solve all of those problems. They are photographs of real skies on special opaque tiles that can be mounted over lights to give a natural, luminous effect. The lighting systems provide "daylight-balanced light," which the body will actually recognize as "natural." Hundreds of ultra-high resolution images are available to choose from, so you can open up your space to the great outdoors - or at least feel that way. Prices vary depending on design, size and lighting options.
