I know we are Home Products, but the Tepee from DWR is a home all its own. This modern version of the classic tepee from designer Dave Ellis who spent 10 years working in the canvas business before creating his own line of tents and tepees in 1982, created this stylish design that is perfect for adventurers of all ages. Unique to this design is the sewn-in floor liner that allows proper air flow, while ensuring that nothing accidentally leaves or enters the Tepee making it easier to see where the poles should be placed when building the Tepee. The exterior canvas is tightly woven, preshrunk 100% cotton Army Duck that's finished with a Sunforger baked-in process to make the canvas mildew resistant and water repellent. H 15' Diameter 12' $2200 Available from Design Within Reach

Aside from the religious significance of Easter, the holiday also presents an opportunity to celebrate the rebirth of the Earth. And while Easter just wouldn’t be Easter without the iconic emblems of the holiday including Easter baskets and egg hunts, following the 3 eco-friendly “R’s” can significantly make the holiday greener.

That’s the slogan from the makers of today’s genius product design selection – Mug Hug. I first heard about this over at Design Milk today, and instantly had to know more. As a self-proclaimed coffee addict I am always looking for ways to make enjoying my favorite brew easier.
So what’s the big deal? I usually stop for coffee in the morning, not because I enjoy the extra stop but because of my lack of positive experience with travel mugs. The plastic coated ones always seem to taste like plastic and the metal ones never seem to get all the way clean no matter how many times you wash them. So the idea of being able to use just about any mug in my cabinet, snap the lid on, and be on my way sounds pretty good to me! And for those of you who are loyal to your local morning spot, check out the Mug Hug website for a list of what size coffees from each establishment this convenient lid will fit on. It just may prevent those annoying spills in the car or even worse on your desk!

Amelie Onzon relies heavily on socially significant concepts to inform her unique furniture design. Her “In Vivo Exposure” line, pictured above, is designed to use form to question phobias, and work phobia patients through their fears by exposing them. Using sheets of fabric, she creates space – either a safe, surrounding space for those afraid of heights, or an adjustable, airy space for those afraid of confined spaces. Her other concept pieces include duck feeders and baths that are designed based on questions of our love/hate relationship with animals, and accessories designed around teenage concerns about their changing bodies. Although highly conceptual, her work is full of life, exploration, and creativity.
