Brooklyn-based designer Emily Vislocky sent us her recently completed Poke & Squeeze , a set of tables she calls “uncomfortably anthropomorphic.” Poke & Squeeze are two tables created out of the idea to add the softness of human interaction to hard wood. Made to go together, the drawer fronts are made from flexible dip-molded plastic. The drawers fit inside hardwood padauk and maple boxes, and sit atop ornate cast iron bases. The drawer pulls beckon users to engage with a surprisingly, and, perhaps, uncomfortably, human-like interface.

It’s the little things in life that make a difference…

Like having this adorable little chickadee as your smoke detector, rather than those plain old smoke detectors that everyone else has.

Which would you choose – pink or white?

Today begins a series called Recipe Radar, which is essentially just a collection of recipes on my radar – recipes that I’ve collected to test out and share here so that everyone else can share what’s on their radar as well. Send and share them on these posts or anytime in between!So, let’s get started!

I’m constantly on the hunt for different and delicious recipes that I can make quickly after work, as I’m sure many others are as well. Instead of grilled chicken all the time switched around with veggies, here are some quick and easy sandwich and wrap recipes I’ve been dying to try.

How delicious do the Ham & Cheese Sliders look above? I love sandwiches and sliders, but hardly ever make them for dinner. These sliders look quick, easy and flavorful – and will definitely be tried soon. Maybe even tonight! Get the recipe here.

Next up are some Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps. Again, these seem to be quite easy to make and they look delicious! Although, if I’m really feeling lazy or in a rush, I think I would probably leave out the rice. Terrible, I know!Anyway, get the recipe here.

These Chicken Parmigiana Lettuce Wraps are an easier – and healthier – way to make a delicious Italian dish. Plus, it brings the salad and main course together as one – so simple! Get the recipe here.

Finally, here’s a sandwich recipe that’s ideal for the summertime, so you can make use of the grill and now worry about heating up the house. Plus, I love the combination of arugula, steak, onions and cheese – and on bread! What more could you ask for? Plus, it’s pretty quick and simple – just what I’m looking for! Get the recipe here.

So which of these will you be trying – or have you made anything similar already?
