It's back to school and if you have kids you'll want this brand new ingenious Fruit Friendly Lunch Box ($15 USD) from Concentrate. The lunch box has been specially designed to hold fruit while protecting it from bruising or overheating, and we think thats a great way to make sure fruit is enjoyed at its best. A unique color changing thermo-spot on the box indicates when food has overheated, plus it comes with 2 plastic pots for holding grapes, nuts or diced fruits. And since its dishwasher safe, it makes cleanup after-school a breeze.

Time to replace your old center-piece or fruit bowl? How about this Harmonic Basket ($115 USD) inspired by geometry and mathematics, and designed by Australian Abi Alice. Made by cutting and bending sheets of 18/10 stainless steel to create a captivating folding effect. If you have ever wondered what luxe is, this is it.

Kyoko Hashimoto from Australia has to be one of our favorite jewelry designers, and considering her recently released Bowerbird Collection, we are pretty sure she'll be a favorite for years to come. It was pretty hard to decide what piece to feature, but we finally settled on this luxe reversible necklace ($136 USD) - with shiny black acrylic on one side and wood on the other - this necklace is hand-cut and finished with oxidized sterling silver.

We believe the future of luxe is ECO friendly, so we were excited when we came across, this beautiful Eco-Chic Desk Calendar ($23 USD) designed by San Francisco artist, Cat Seto. Printed on 100% recycled paper, and packed in a biodegradable bag, this monthly calendar also features a wood block stand made from reclaimed lumber. What makes this calendar so great is, at the end of the year you, send your used pages back and Cat Seto will recycle them and send you a coupon for refill pages.

With the introduction of WASARA - the most incredibly beautiful one-time use tableware we have ever seen - you can say good-bye and safely trash all your kitschy, and probably fugly paper dishes. The underlying concept of WASARA is the legacy of the Japanese aesthetic and value of sense, and the spirit of hospitality and courtesy. The goal: WASARA's elegant flowing forms will accentuate the delicacy of the cuisine, even choreographing the graceful movements of those who hold them. Available at the end of August, with pricing to be announced. We can't wait to order ours!
