Oshibe mean “stamen” in Japanese, and was what inspired Tomomi Sayuda to create this nest/music box/lamp/creative plaything. Also inspired by eggs, plants, light, and the moon, Sayuda created an interactive sculpture for both children and adults.

A series from Chilean design firm GrupoVibra, these speakers have a nice blend of retro and modern design elements, and are created with wood harvested from sustainable forests.
The Zikmu Parrot by Philippe Starck was released last year but they just came out with some fun, new colors: arctic white, pearl gray, and sorbet lime in addition to the original black.

The wi-fi features enable you to listen to your computer’s music library through the speakers, at all 360°. It also comes with a remote control.
This limited edition USB turntable, with its sharp hipster design, was created exclusively for SPIN magazine and comes with a year’s subscription to the print edition.
