Calendars seem to be a popular holiday gift, and this is the time of year people seem to be popping up everywhere selling them. This one caught my eye partly because it looks cool and also because it’s interactive. The Puzzle Calendar is made of colorful building blocks that can be rearranged to change the look of your calendar each month. There are also pieces made for special days like birthdays and holidays. And it kind of looks like legos which is also pretty cool too in my opinion. Available here for a pretty reasonable $12.50.

Plenty of your chairs have springs, but you never really stop to think about them do you? Frank Winnubst changes that with this chair he calls Springtime. Developed through research about the various kinds of springs and which create optimum seating comfort, function in this case dictated form. More of an interesting piece than a comfortable one I’m sure, Winnubst does add a knitted cover to each spring on the top layer to make the “chair” less hard and cold.
