For a change of pace, we offer for your perusal, a quirky little shop, Kiosk.
Featuring a range of products from a new country every four to five months, as well as some ongoing items, the online (and, we assume, the brick-and-mortar) store sells only well-edited and funky -- yet everyday -- things. They're not objects for people who take one look at them and think they could have gotten a similar item at the local big box chain store for less money. They're for people who appreciate good, simple design, and useful, practical, humble objects.
We love not only the items, but their descriptions. They make us feel as if we traveled with the buyers, and learned a bit about the product, the manufacturer, and the country in the process.
