Muuto teapot and mugs

I am loving my new "bulky" teapot and mugs in dandelion yellow from Scandinavian design collective Muuto. A cookie jar and sugar are also part of the collection, which is available in grey, white and yellow.

Muuto is slowing taking over my home as I now have multiple pieces from them including: lights, flower pots, fruit bowl, and some great wool storage bins made from recycled plastic that I use for toy storage.

And I have several items on my wishlist - mainly lights:

Muuto is sold at DWR and other small design boutiques.

coffee and tea maker

As the season of gift-giving is upon us, i saw this coffeemaker and matching tea-maker (didn't know there was such a thing) and loved them instantly. They are similar to the Jasper Morrison for Rowenta series that was discontinued (because of poor performance, I think) so hopefully these function well in addition to looking good. They are from Plus Minus Zero, designed by Naoto Fukasawa and can be bought here at twentytwentyone.
