So, if you hated that matching doggie 'brella set, there may be times when you don't want to pull on a parka, but don't want to get wet either. If your dog's half as crazy as mine (scratch that, a quarter), this product would come in handy . .

Dutch born Tejo Remy's 'You Can't Lay Down Your Memory' Chest of Drawers, designed in 1991, is part of the MOMA's permanent collection. It's a group of found drawers strapped together to create a single cluster of drawers, made of metal, paper, plastic, burlap, contact paper, and paint. You can purchase a unique, made-to-order set, one of only 200, for $51,616 at Retro Modern.

Molo's Softseating ($130- $2,390) is made entirely from kraft paper with 50% recycled content. The paper is cut into a honeycomb-like structure that flexes to fan open into stools, benches and loungers. Not only is it flexible, it's versatile and compact; you can compress it like a book for easy storage.

Wooden toys are oh so popular these days so I was delighted to find some fun for mom and dad to play with, too. MUJI, a Japanese based company, manufactures a unique set of blocks – cities in a bag. For $14, fans of the big apple can buy New York City in a Bag and get the Chrysler Building, Statue of Liberty, Guggenheim Museum, the original MoMA buildings, and six cars. 
I wouldn't say the KarrySafe Phone Pouch ($12), looks like something you'd see the trendy BlackBerry fanatics on The Hills carrying on Melrose, but I do see its practical purposes. According to the MoMA the cases were "thoughtfully designed to deter common-criminal techniques like pick pocketing and bag snatching, these street-safe features include secure closures, locks, alarmed-breakaway straps, impact padding, and durable slash-resistant and waterproof materials." What do you think of them?
Architect Jean Nouvel has been commissioned by an international real estate developer, Hines, to design a tower adjacent to the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan, which will house a hotel, luxury apartments and three floors that will be used by MoMA to expand its exhibition space. The MoMA sold the lot to Hines earlier this year for $125 million, but insisted on veto power over the architect Hines would choose. The choice is certainly a bold one, which is a bit hair-raising considering the amount of money at stake.

A little while back, I was lucky enough to be sent a ticket to the Museum of Modern Art's biannual gala fundraiser, The Modern Ball. The event, which took place on Wednesday night, was absolutely spectacular. When I spoke to event planner Stanlee Gatti, he explained how he sees the world vibrantly through colors and it was wonderful to see his words transformed into reality.
