It's that time again. Well, actually, it was time for calendar-shopping in December, but you can't expect a person to think ahead, can you? Canada-based photographer Jennifer Squires has fashioned a beautiful desk calendar ($20) out of 12 of her stunning black and white and color images to carry you through the year in style. A chilly tree in January, a retro fan in July, and a bursting daffodil in June, Squires's photography is subtly appropriate for each month, but charming enough to enjoy year-round. The calendar also arrives in a plastic jewel case, which folds back to serve as its convenient stand.

Korean-based furniture designer Jebeom Jeong's Grid Chair (currently a prototype) is close to perfect in my eyes. Made of stainless steel with a walnut-black stain, the chair's structure and graceful curves remind me of the Eiffel Tower. While my heart still remains true to Philippe Starcke's Ghost Chair, I must admit that this is making it pitter-patter as well.
