Korinʼs Masanobu VG10 7-inch<br />
SANTOKU knife is both lightweight<br />
and easy to grip, thanks to an<br />
octagonal pressed-wood shaft. Its<br />
nickel-silver bolsters are shaped by<br />
the same technique thatʼs used on<br />
Formula One racing cars; $274.<br />

British manufacturers Wild & Wolf<br />
pilfered the V&Aʼs William Morris<br />

tape measures ($12) into stylish<br />
accessories. Available in Cray (shown<br />
here), Daisy, and Anemone patterns.<br />

Domestic asked designers to go crazy<br />
with graphics for SURFACE 01, a<br />
collection of white, lidded porcelain<br />

piggy banks, or any other secret<br />
receptacle. Shown here are Für by<br />
Pierre Marie and Petits Pois by French<br />
textile design firm Maison<br />
Georgette; $72 each.<br />

Alessiʼs FRUIT BASKET TEA SET, a<br />
rare foray into product design by<br />
SANAA, finds the Japanese architects<br />
abandoning linearity in favor of<br />
squat apple shapes. A corresponding<br />
set of mocha cups and spoons have<br />
branchlike handles that mimic<br />
the slim tip of each stainless-steel<br />
container; $860 for the set.<br />
