Genius execution and idea! Thanks to Kim Genkinger for bringing this fun interactive valentine by Exopolis to my attention!

Pick a song from lots of fun ones (I prefer the Pixies song), label the tape and send it cyber.

Right here, baby.

Funky Find of The Week: The Jet Coffee Table

above: Jet Coffee Table by Lorraine Brennan

Lorraine Brennan’s Jet Coffee Table, inspired by those paper planes most of us made in elementary school (and occasionally flung at that cute little blonde girl when no one was looking), is one of those designs we can’t help but instantly fall for. Made from 2mm steel, it succeeds as abstract sculpture, functional accessory, and whimsical design element. And the best part is you can’t get in trouble just for having one … even if you had no intention of throwing it… we swear.

Lorraine, who used to have her own design company, now is responsible for the design, launch and on-going development of French Connection Home.
