This Bluetooth speaker is visually pleasing


I wouldn't mind having this portable speaker sit on my desk. Designed by award-winning Danish designer Cecilie Manz and crafted by Bang & Olufsen, the BeoPlay Beolit 15 features True360 omni-directional sound, up to 24 hours of continuous play time from a single battery charge, and premium materials such as anodized aluminum and full grain leather.

The $550 Bluetooth speaker weighs 5 pounds and is much bulkier and boxier in design than its predecessor—the Beoplay A2. It's a real powerhouse featuring 4 active drivers and 2 passive bass radiators, driven by dual Class D amplifiers, delivering 240 watts of peak power. Available in Natural Champagne, Polar Blue, and Shade Rosa accents.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay."
