Office supplies store Kokuyo has redesigned the highlighter. By modifying the tip into what they call a 3-way “beetle tip” the pen allows you to make 3 distinctive marks just by tilting your hand. GENIUS!

These pens are hitting stores across Japan tomorrow!

Another awesome new site just launched!!

Ekubo means “dimple” in Japanese. And this series of ekubo pieces from ARTISTA makes me want to reach out and touch them, similar to how I want to reach out and touch dimples. The prior is less offensive so I will stick to that.

The pieces range between 25~85 USD (except for the coffee table, which is 250 USD). They only ship within Japan but we can help if you would like to touch them!

Today feels like Friday. I was ready to wish everyone a happy weekend.
