Covet: Pigeon Toe Ceramics Porcelain Disc Chimes

pigeon toe mobile stylecarrot

I’ve been a fan of Portland, Oregon studio Pigeon Toe Ceramics since its advent in 2009, but my love has been renewed with these charming wind chimes.

Designer Lisa Jones strings hand-thrown, glazed porcelain discs on deerskin cords (available in six different colors) or a more monochromatic natural jute twine.The irregularly rounded forms and gentle clinking sounds are welcome departures from more intrusive, metal chimes that echo on otherwise peaceful summer eves.

(Disc Chimes, $44 for 4 discs; $70 for 8.)

Just In: Simon Pearce Teapot Trio

Simon Pearce goes contemporary with a trio of new additions to the Barre collection—a teapot ($175), sugar bowl ($50), and creamer ($50). The elliptical-shaped, hand-crafted pottery has a matte finish available in slate (shown here), shale, and alabaster. The silhouettes are thoroughly modern, but the material lends an earthy edge that doesn’t abandon the designer’s New England roots.

Just In: Areaware Alarm Dock

You may not have saved your faux wood flip clock from childhood (I didn’t), but no matter. Areaware’s Alarm Dock by Jonas Damon ($40) is a simple block of solid beechwood let’s you adapt an iPhone or Touch to get a similar effect, while simultaneously charging the device.

Look carefully, it’s not actually a clock—it’s a dock with a horizontally placed iPhone running the flip clock app ($.99) The dock fits the iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4.

If you still prefer the real thing, try this retro bamboo flip clock ($51.90).
