These little salt and pepper shakers aren’t just adorable and modern, their main intent is to symbolize how mankind is to embrace its differences. Designers Alberto Mantilla, Anthony Baxter and Scott Henderson of Mint Inc. went to great lengths to convey this idea and put it on the market without sacrificing the quality and integrity of their prized creation.

What can make a boring old kitchen blender cool? A tachometer of course! I wanna know the exact speed at which my smoothie is being blended and I don’t mean “low,” “medium,” and “high.” I’m talking rotations per minute!

That’s right, this blender by L’Equip will have you L’Squeeling with glee as you watch the little needle rev it up between 500 and 20,000 RPMs. There’s even a toggle switch; and if you’ve been keeping up with the posts here on WithoutStyle, you’ll know we’re big fans of toggle switches.

Don’t know if it will blend an iPod, but the solid looking brushed steel base with a the polycarbonate blending jug and tamper stick will make a great looking and functional addition to any kitchen or bar.

Available at Table Tools for $134.00

It’s a robot. It’s a clock. It’s roboclock! Ok, it doesn’t really do anything fantastic other than tell time, but it sure looks great doing that!

It’s designed by a guy named Michael Daniel Steel. The guy who designed a robot clock has “steel” in his name, how cool is that?

It’s Manufactured by Kikkerland and made up of plastic flipping numbers, swinging legs and rubber feet. Two C batteries included. Can be gotten at Mookie Gifts for $71.96.

There’s a company so cool there aren’t words to describe them. Just numbers. 686 specializes in sport gear. Mainly snow and skating gear. While I neither ski nor skate, I sure can appreciate the convenience of having some basic tools handy. Especially when they are cleverly disguised in an accessory such as a belt. A toolbelt.

This belt integrates a #2 Phillips and #2 flathead screwdrivers, and 1/2, 9/16, and 3/8-inch wrenches as well as a bottle opener. Such tools are pretty convenient to have on hand for a number of chores, but supposedly they are particularly advantageous while on the slopes.

No, this is not Nasa’s latest invention or the concept for the next building in NYC. This, my friends, is a teapot. No, this is THE teapot! If ever there was a teapot to be excited about, this is it! Man I’ve never craved tea quite this much. Continue to full article
