Brass Dustpan and Broom is a minimalist dustpan created by Sydney-based designer Studiokyss. With the idea between, decorative & functional and the ability to transcend both craft & design mediums, Kenny of Studiokyss is interested in creating work that has the ability to interact physically and emotionally with the users, essentially giving longevity to the object. The dustpan is constructed of Tassie oak, brass, and horse tail. A single brass notch extends from the dustpan to not only prevent slipping, but to hang the broom when not in use.

Lee Broom's marble Tube Light, from the designer's Nouveau Rebel collection, is now sold at The Future Perfect for $5,310. The handcrafted take on the old fluorescent tube is a technical marvel: it's milled from one piece of Carrara marble to less than a quarter-inch thickness, then filled with an LED strip that, when illuminated through the white marble, gives off a warm glow.
