Designer Alessandro Mendini's Ciaccolator calculator for Alessi and the Bubblo mouse pad that "rests on a cushion of bubbles with a flat surface to allow your mouse a smooth run.".
Designer Jo Niemeyer's Modulon brain teaser cube for Naef and Marc Newson's Apollo LED flashlight for Flos.
Designer Pernille Vea's Fireball outdoor candle for Menu and Jensen & Holbaek's bird feeder for Eva Solo.
