Frida Berglund of husmusen wrote us to let us know that fashion label H&M has launched a home decor collection. Consisting of four sub collections: Design, Nature, Youth and Classic, H&M Home will be available only through their internet/ web shop at first. The collection was launched at a press event in Germany last night. Above, a few items from the Design collection. Much more at husmusen.

CITIZEN:Citizen has added another object from their growing design-art collection to the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Ballistic Rose, created and designed by Tobias Wong, is a bullet proof corsage, "a handmade ribbon rose constructed from a single strip of ballistic nylon. This floral hybrid protects your heart in an uncertain world. Wong's bloom is both a high-tech talisman for the tender-hearted and wry fashion statement.". Good timing, we could all use a little protection right now.

In fact Philip Wood, the owner of CITIZEN:Citizen, would like to add the Ballistic Rose to your permanent collection. CITIZEN:Citizen's website just underwent a major overhaul, and to mark the event one creative MoCo Loco reader will add a Ballistic Rose to his or her collection by writing a clever, uncertain-times appropriate "quote" for the Rose's CITIZEN:Citizen page. Leave your quote in the comments section here and next Wednesday Philip Wood will choose the winning quote. Enter as often as you want.

The winner will get the now classic Ballistic Rose with certificate of provenance and archival collectors box shipped to their door and their winning quote up on the CITIZEN:Citizen website.

UPDATE: comments are now closed, later today (November 27) we will announce the winner of the Ballistic Rose.

"See if someone in New York, Paris or Sæby bought the same souvenir as you."

Danish designer Sebastian Campion has created a new souvenir concept, Social Souvenir is a T-shirt imprinted with a text fragment inspired by 15 renowned artists represented in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde, Denmark's collection. Artists such as Yoko Ono, Erik Satie, Marcel Duchamp and Per Højholt on 300 T-shirts that are exhibited and put on sale at the MoCA. "Visitors can buy a T-shirt of their own choice, the only condition being that they share a bit of personal information about themselves, or more precisely: their name and address". When paying for the T-shirt at the museum's shop, the information is automatically mapped in Google Maps, thereby making it possible to see where each T-shirt ends up after leaving the museum.

iTWYF, or I Touch With Your Fingers, are lined leather gloves that allow you to manipulate all of your portable electronics (iPods, cell phones, PDAs, video game units, etc..) in the cold, with ease and precision. Three special-function fingers on the leather gloves provide control, on the middle finger "like the tip of a stylus pen, the built-in stud allows you to touch and type on your LCD or plasma screens with precision without scratching.". The glove’s thumb has an adjustable Velcro band that frees the thumb to make or receive calls, etc.

+ A tip we got from Chantal at CubeMe got us thinking about what was new at Karim Rashid, and sure enough, there’s a lot (from top left); Kundalini Mandala Wall Light, new shoes for Melissa (lends new meaning to designer shoes), Dirt Devil Kone Hand Vac, Frighetto Vaska Couch, and Blip door handles for Martinelli.

+ Luis Alicandú, AKA Cacouno sends us Hot Chocolate. “From Venezuelan design couple Pablo Martinez and Carolina Aguerrevere, Hot Chocolate Design (click on Zapatos), a great line of lovely shoes ‘Chocolaticas’. Vintage & pop patterns, asymmetry, and ultra low weight makes them a beautiful and comfortable handmade shoe. Nice coin bags and purses too. It’s a pity that there are no men’s products and the website is in spanish only.”.
