I am not a fan of bar carts. I have seen tons of them, and never have I seen one that I liked—until now. Mai Tai is the name of this modern bar cart designed by Odosdesign for Punt . The simple white trays lift off the trolley for easy serving, too. The trays come in three colors: white, wood, and aqua.

Young design firm, Shift , is based in Monterrey, Mexico and they’ve created a Blu-ray and DVD holder that was inspired by music levels. Levels was born from the idea of wanting to take a look at items that have long been forgotten about, like your DVDs and CDs. With so many people moving the bulk of their music and movie watching to the digital realm, storage for these “artifacts” has gone by the wayside. Levels accommodates your collection into an almost sculptural form that mimics equalizer bars and sound levels that you see on audio displays. Using laser cutting technology, the pieces can be precisely cut for easy assembly

AIM , the latest design from Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for FLOS , defies all convention when it comes to positioning your ceiling light. Instead of hanging your light source dead center in your room, AIM breaks tradition because it can be positioned wherever you like, and with as many fixtures as you like. Available as a hard wire fixture or with a regular plug that goes in the wall, the lamps are suspended via long cables that you can swag into a chaotic (or neatly drooped) maze of wires, creating a completely unique fixture specific to your room
