I’ve been finding amazing things on the “Geheugen van Nederland” (Memory of the Netherlands). Their collection of stamps in itself is noteworthy. Hi-res scans of original art and more.

DesignMarketo is a really fantastic London/internet based design shop that sells limited edition or short run works by young designers.
I quite like the “FoodMarketo” selections – a range of objects that don’t adhere so strictly to the idea of “food” or “kitchen.”
Here are some examples: 1. Plain wine bottles transformed into beautiful objects by way of simple colored electrical wires, by Arabeschi di Latte. 2. A smart and simple “apple a day” calendar by Ken Kirton. 3. A funny lamp that you stick into a large heavy vegetable, by Peter Marigold.
