Well designed objects

Where can I find other webpages like this one ? What blogs present other nice items (in terms of usability).

Cool Tools is along those lines, though it's concerned with functionality rather than aesthetics. I also like Book of Joe.

A few that pop to mind: Cool Tools, Smart Stuff, The Cool Hunter.

Just digging through my poorly-tagged del.icio.us links:

• I.D. Magazine
• MeFi's own adamgreenfield on the Dyson vacuum and his homepage.
• core77
• RE. design
• Occasionally Coolhunting, although they're more into aesthetics than usability.

I may post more when I get home, I don't have my full RSS feed list at work.

Design sponge, which, like Coolhunting, is a bit more aesthetics-focussed.

Also check out Infosthetics. Maybe not quite as practical as the other sites mentioned here, but very cool!

You might find some good things on these sites:

Book of Joe: a smallish percentage of items are practical and have beautiful/interesting design.

Crib Candy: Cool and beautiful things for the home.
