Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:      Posted date:  August 7, 2012  |  No comment

Defensive Door Mat  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  doormat    Posted date:  May 30, 2012  |  No comment

Sit In Pool  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  pool    Posted date:  May 21, 2012  |  No comment



[$250] Only the French could come up with a name for pool furniture as completely bland and thoughtless clever as Sit In Pool. But even though the branding is lacking, the product is not: think high end furniture that floats. (more…)

Slate Coasters  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Coaster    Posted date:  May 14, 2012  |  No comment

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Saddleback Leather    Posted date:  April 30, 2012  |  No comment



[$50] What could be better than some thick, full-grain boot leather protecting that oak coffee table in your living room? Not a damn thing, or at least that’s what we think. And it’s also what Saddleback Leather thinks. (more…)

Verbarius Digitless Clock  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Clock    Posted date:  April 19, 2012  |  No comment



[$175] Most clocks have numbers. The Verbarius Digitless Clock, as the name suggests, doesn’t. The result? A really sleek timepiece for your workstation. (more…)
