This set of four mirrored coasters entitled, The Night You Left, by Nir Hod are lined with digitally printed white powder that has a tactile quality. Decadent and eye-catching, the coasters come in black or gold and are backed with black velvet. Highly gift-able, the set is housed in a sleek black box.

The title of the editioned set suggests a lonely narrative, a moment of solitude when one might turn to drugs not for glamour or excitement, but for revelry and longing. “There is a certain magic in loneliness,” Hod explains, “you have to be alone to create.” He adds, “It’s not about drugs or glamour—it’s about the inside world, where you can dream and love and seek a greater truth—it’s about a feeling of being connected to something so human.”

There’s not much to be said about this classic snow globe design from the duo Ligorano/Reese. It’s the perfect gift for many occasions.

These three souvenir teaspoons by Ai Weiwei make playful use of the artist's work "Study of Perspective" a series of images that's featured in MoMA's collection, amongst others. The photographs show the artist lifting his middle finger to iconic manmade landmarks around the world. It's an initially humorous act that signifies the power of the artist's rejection of authority. The teaspoons feature Tiananmen Square, the Eiffel Tower and the White House.

The crystal shade may be purchased separately and used with any standard fixture that is sized to accommodate a 3-1/4" shade. To use this light outdoors you must purchase your own fixture that is approved for outdoor use as the accompanying fixture that we supply is not.

Deborah Ehrlich's elegant Crystal Jelly Jar light fixture highlights this renowned glass artist's attention to superior artisanship and craft. The hand-blown shades are made from Swedish crystal that is lead-free and therefore able to be thinner and more delicate than traditional glass. Made in Sweden, each shade is hand-cut and hand-grinded to perfection. The shade is paired with a brass shade holder and porcelain base to give the piece a relaxed but elegant look. The crystal shade may be purchased separately and used with any standard fixture that is sized to accommodate a 3-1/4" shade. To use this light outdoors you must purchase your own fixture that is approved for outdoor use as the accompanying fixture that we supply is not. A 65 watt clear light bulb is the usual wattage, but up to 75 watts is acceptable.

In the early 1980s, Sol LeWitt and his family bought a rustic farmhouse in Spoleto, Italy. While in Rome looking for new dishes, he and his wife, Carol, discovered that the maiolica pottery they so admired was made locally, almost in their backyard, in Deruta. Italy. The craftspeople in Deruta were continuing the more than 600 year old tradition of creating maiolica, a technique of applying a glossy base glaze whitened with tin oxide onto fired clay pottery. Vivid, hand-painted colors are then added and the pieces are fired again.

LeWitt designed his own dinnerware in Deruta and these same pieces are now available through Artware Editions in the full range of colors the artist intended. Each piece is made by hand by the same artisans who for generations have kept this proud and classic Italian tradition alive. This dinnerware is lead-free and dishwasher safe.

This four-panel leather kippah features a digital print of the Star of David designed by Sol LeWitt.

In 2001, LeWitt co-designed the Connecticut synagogue Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek with architect Stephen Lloyd. The synagogue tried repeatedly to translate the radiant, geometric design the artist made for the ark doors into the convex form of a yarmulke. When the design was finally achieved it sold out almost instantly and since then there have been six more editions including this one which is the 7th and final. Each edition varied in trim color and the color of the inside fabric, but all shared the same six-pointed star design, a common motif in the late artist's work. The 7th edition design features a bright blue trim and a gray interior with the edition details in gold lettering. It is an open edition.

Man Ray designed this elegant chess set because of his lifelong friendship with Marcel Duchamp who was an avid chess player. He sought to use pure geometric forms associated historically and figuratively with the pieces they represent. The King represents the Egyptian king's pyramid; the Queen is the conical headdress of a medieval queen; the Bishop represents a flask for concocting healing liqueurs; and the Knight is based on a favorite form -- the carved scroll found on a violin. Only a handful were ever produced in Man Ray's lifetime (the maharajah of Indore commissioned a set made from silver-plated brass), and this re-issued design is rendered in wood and based on an original example from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.

A solid beech wood chessboard that beautifully compliments this set is also available for $210.

Made in Germany under license with the Man Ray Trust.

Originally designed as a limited edition sculptural piece, cast in heavy polyurethane resin, the David Shrigley Swan has been blown up, literally. This inflatable swan may be missing the graceful curves true to a classic swan, but with its hand-drawn blank expression and erect white neck, it knows exactly what it is, it is a "Ridiculous Inflatable Swan-Thing." Named lovingly by David Shrigley himself, the statuesque swan stands at 35 inches tall and comprises all that is to love about Shrigley's charismatic work, while also being pool-ready.

Marina Abramović has said about this limited edition tableware:

‘‘For my project with Bernardaud, I created two sets of tableware, which I call Misfits because they do not match each other. Each set has different sized plates that var yin shape and pattern.
Together, these two sets can be combined for a misfit dinner for two or one set can be used to serve a lonely dinner for one.’’

Abramović created her limited edition four-piece porcelain plate sets for Bernardaud with each motif closely reflecting her personal life. Each set includes a small bread plate featuring the artist's own family crest and a dinner plate adorned with a detail from her artwork Golden Lips (2009). The star-shaped dish represents the communist star, a symbol that was ever-present in Abramović's childhood and life in ex-Yugoslavia. The golden serving platter was conceived as a counterpart to the star and represents the sun.

The design for Loose Leaf apparel is based on the widely-known loose leaf notebook paper that has a simple white background with blue horizontal lines and a red margin line. E for Effort turned this nostalgic design into a screen-print and hand-prints each piece of apparel. Screen-printing by nature is a slow and deliberate process where variations and imperfections are expected and welcome.

Each piece of apparel is unique and can be left as is or become an interactive “canvas” for writings, drawings or otherwise. Machine washable. Available in totes, kids & babies, women’s, and men’s.

E for Effort is a collaborative duo consisting of artists Beka Goedde and Rachel Ostrow, both of whom consider printmaking a vital part of their individual artistic practices. Both artists currently live and work in Brooklyn, NY and have been collaborating since 2009. You can learn more about each artist's work by visiting their websites: www.bekagoedde.com and www.rachelostrow.com.

Kiki is the new fragrance from contemporary artist Kiki Smith, designed in collaboration with the award-winning French fragrance designer, Christophe Laudamiel. Kiki is a study of balance and contrast and is unabashedly green and fresh while deeply and unexpectedly, lush, warm, and dynamic. The fragrance evokes Kiki’s most significant olfactory memories: musks, boxwood, patchouli and sandalwood next to fresh, ripe foliage, and fig leaf notes. The uniquely soothing, enveloping warmth and herbaceousness of blue chamomile and the bright and summery smell of narcisse create an incandescent, satisfying and fearless scent that is diffusive and illuminating.

This 100% silk eye mask features the warm, wise eyes of Louise Bourgeois. On the trim and reversible side is a beautiful blue and white pattern in case you're feeling more subtle.
