You won't want to keep these in the shop - wear them out on the town - keep chic while maintaining splash protection from nocturnal hazards such as face-flung drinks of jilted lovers. Entertain neophytes with impromptu lessons in plastic molding, showing off the frames' inverted bridge mold cavity - truly a structural and aesthetic triumph - and the primitive radii of the lens-fastening lip.
$10.00 at Core77's Hand-Eye Supply store

The gif above says it all. Crank away sensitive documents AND pent-up anxiety, feeling the tiny teeth take nibble after nibble with barely a sound. This is Japanese so accepts A4 paper, which is smaller than 8.5"x11", meaning American documents will need to be folded before their demise. We ran two folded sheets through at once without any problem. Do not shred the items noted below.

In this era of eco-awareness, we often find ourselves choosing between buying beautiful new things and making do with what we have. When it comes to clothes we feel like we might have an answer for fashion conscious types who find themselves in this situation: All the endearing quality and craftsmanship of a quality garment in a product that hovers on the periphery of one's wardrobe, a sort of meta-fashion toolbox: a sewing kit.
The Merchant & Mills Oilskin Sewing Kit is on our list of ideas for Off-The-Grid designers, but its portability is only part of its appeal—it comes with all of the basics for extending the life of your garb, but its form is the force that will inspire and elicit the best of your darning abilities: a heritage aesthetic that nods at tradition and an untying, unfolding presentation that will ritualize you right into the mood for zen-ing out on your stitching.

This is one of our favorites from Core77's collection of Workshop Workhorse gifts: when it comes to production, precision begets precision. This high-quality machined doodad will multiply the uses of your trusty ruler, turning it into a capable production aid. Slide it on and start quickly squaring things up and marking consistent depths. When done break down and stow it.

Last night the New York design community gathered at experimental design gallery space bondtoo to celebrate the launch of Sight Unseen's new online accessories shop, "dedicated to the sale of handmade and one-of-a-kind wearable objects by artists and designers." Even if you can't afford Rafael de Cardenas' new line of furniture, Bec Brittain's lighting fixtures, or Iacoli and McAllister's powder-coated steel designs, their special accessories for Sight Unseen curators Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer are a wearable, eye-catching alternative.

We especially love Los Angeles-based furniture designer Tanya Aguiñiga's scupltural cotton rope necklaces that incorporate leather offcuts and reclaimed copper tubing and British designer Simone Brewster's geometric copper and wood, leather pendants. Browse for pieces from designers, Renata Abbade, Confetti System, Jim Drain, Chen Chen and Kai Williams, Fredericks & Mae, Philippe Malouin, Kiel Mead, Silva/Bradshaw, Study O Portable and more! Each piece is handmade and many are one-of-a-kind collectibles, often the designer's first foray into wearable accessories. We look forward to seeing what might come from future collaborations for Sight Unseen shop.

Alex and Jerome, the duo behind London-based Design Marketo, behind their lemon bar.
London-based Design Marketo orchestrated a great project for Sofia Design Week. This time their temporary hangout place and pop-up shop was all related to lemons, in particular lemonade.
A variety of really nice design objects was on show, commissioned specifically for this event. My favorite object is Lemon Toys by Loris & Livia, a new interpretation of the classical wooden lemon squeezer, made from upcycled vintage and new wooden staircase parts.
The Lemonatus mixing straw, designed by Julian Bond, allows you to enjoy a glass of "fresh-squeezed" lemonade instantaneously: One straw goes into the lemon, the other into a glass of water. Suck, and both liquids mix in the upper mixing chamber, et voila, you get your lemonade. It really works!
One of the workshops that Design Marketo offered was about creating lemon bread.

The Hand-Eye Supply store has a kindred spirit in Sweden's Dunderdon. Founded by carpenter Per-Ivan Hagberg, the mission at Dunderdon has always been to create clothing for craftsmen who appreciate superior construction and smart design.
We've been carrying the Dunderdon workwear line at our Hand-Eye Supply store in Portland since our initial opening in August. Now, we're pleased to announce that we have a small pop-up shop at the Dunderdon NYC Workshop store.
Featured at the store are some of our favorite Hand-Eye Supply merchandise including the Z-Saw, Klein Bags and the H.L. Bouton Spectacles. Check out the New York City workshop at 25 Howard Street in SoHo and more pics of the goods after the jump!

In London, Covent Garden is the place to go for boutique shoe shops -- there are stores from the Natural Shoe Co., Poste Mistress and Birkenstock. For a long time the area has been home to a small Camper shop down an alleyway, tucked away from the main foot traffic of Neal Street.
Just before Christmas, Camper added to their presence in the area and opened a brand new store on a prominent corner, designed by Tomas Alonso. Alongside beautiful tables and benches constructed using Alonso's particular language of bright tubular structures and wooden planes, there are specially designed ceramic lightshades and (my favourite) a very interesting exercise in tiles and perspective.
The Covent Garden branch is just one in a series of five stores that the Spanish company asked Alonso to design, the next one, in Glasgow is due to open very soon.

The shipping window is closing for X-mas and yes, we have one last shameless plug to make, albeit this is more public service announcement than promo: You should buy this book: The Pocket Ref! As useful as a smart phone when faced with a question of standardized sizes, formulas or material properties and a whole lot sturdier! Check the image below for an idea of the range of its contents. 768 pages. Super special because it bears our Core77 Store brand: Hand-Eye Supply! OK, that is it, have a great and festive holiday season!

Join us Tuesday night with Erin Rose Gardner as she presents Jewelry as Subject. Erin is an Oregon Arts Commission grant recipient and an experienced explorer of the terrain between design and craft. As she puts it; "Undulating between these two fields, my research centers around mass-produced jewelry, because it has the capacity to serve as a cultural symbol for sentiment as-well-as commodity. As a designer/maker I am suspicious of industrially produced objects that embody emotional significance."
The presentation begins at 5:30PM at Core77's Hand-Eye Supply - 23 NW 4th Avenue, Portland, Ore. Drop on by or come back and watch here via our live stream!
RSVP at info@handeyesupply.com

Who does noted design firm OMFGCO turn to for its Coverall and Safety Glass needs? Why, Core77's Hand-Eye Supply of course. At the recent AIGA Designspeaks event they wore their DIY, Can-Do attitude on their sleeves as they presented "7 Steps to Making it Official" Now, YOU, dear internet viewers, can taste a bit of the boy's action packed existence in this, their epic presentation intro.
Thanks for shopping at HES, gentlemen!

There's a lot to love about the Hansen Tacker, the all-steel operating mechanism can handle a serious beating, it's light enough to use with one hand, and the positive trip-hammer action ensures you'll be dead accurate every time.
The industrial stapler known as the "Hansen Tacker" was invented by Augie L. Hansen in 1933, an entrepreneur with over 300 inventions and patents credited to his name. Made in America, each tool is painstakingly hand-built by a trained craftsman — a labor intensive process that guarantees high quality and a precision build!
The T-35 is Hansen's most popular stapler model, suitable for a wide range of fastening tasks including; upholstery, point-of-sale displays, loud-speaker silks, and of course for putting up fliers around the neighborhood. It holds 140 Tackpoints at one loading, is super fast to reload, self-contained and ready for instant, continual use.
Hansen Tacker T-35 - $49
Free USA shipping ends August 31, 2010!
