Decor product of the month

When a smarty-pants designer tries to design a double-duty product, something usually goes wrong—either it's unattractive or just doesn't work that well. Luckily, this smart piece confounds that rule. Simplicity reigns in this clean-lined mirror overlaid with colourful, low-tech elastic. Finally, a message centre where you can check the mail and your lipstick at the same time! Elastique mirror, 23" x 23", $125, Modesdemploi.
