MAIN PURPOSE: Pull and label a drawer in one fitting

A library-card-catalogue cup pull with the label built in: the closed front carries an engraved word such as SPICES, fingers hook into the open underside, and it bolts on from inside the drawer with two M4 bolts whose nuts you tighten through the opening. Turns plain flat-pack drawers into a labelled cabinet.

Bleed Cup

MAIN PURPOSE: Catch the water when bleeding radiators

Hold it under the radiator valve with the key through the front notch: the cup catches the hiss of air and the spurt of dirty water while you open the valve, instead of a towel and a jam jar. Between uses the radiator key lives in the side holster, so it is never lost.

Mend Card

MAIN PURPOSE: Carry a needle and thread in the wallet

A credit-card sized mending kit for the wallet: wind black, white and navy thread between the edge notches, weave two needles through the tiny holes and tuck the end of each thread into the side slit. A lost button or split seam on a trip gets fixed in five minutes.

Meridiana

MAIN PURPOSE: Mark solar noon and the season with a sun spot

A cathedral meridian line in miniature for a sunny windowsill. Turn the tall wall due south: at solar noon its pinhole throws a spot of sunlight onto the floor rib, and where the spot lands on the engraved marks tells the season, from the high June sun near the wall to the low autumn sun at the back.

FitzRoy Tower

MAIN PURPOSE: House and read a storm glass weather vial

A tower for a 25 mm Victorian storm glass vial. The vial stands inside behind two tall windows, so light passes through and the crystals read clearly, and the side wall carries the old reading key: clear for fair, cloudy for rain, stars for cold and snow.

Portico Clock

MAIN PURPOSE: Tell the time on a mantel or shelf

A mantel clock in the shape of a round-headed portico. Fit a standard quartz movement behind the face through the 8 mm hole, four small pierced dots mark the quarters, and the hollow back hides the movement and its battery; it stands on its own stepped plinth.

Ziggurat Deck

MAIN PURPOSE: Draw and display a card of the day

A daily card stand for tarot, affirmation or prompt decks. The deck lies in the low front well with a thumb notch, and the card you draw stands in the tall slot behind, so the card of the day is on show and the rest of the deck stays squared and dust-free.

Andon Cube

MAIN PURPOSE: Diffuse an LED puck through a paper-lined lattice

A paper lantern for a battery LED puck, after the Japanese andon. Line the inside with washi or baking paper, stand a puck on the floor and the grid of square windows on every side glows like a shoji screen; there is no flame, so it is safe on a bedside or in a child room.

Kokedama Plinth

MAIN PURPOSE: Display a kokedama moss ball and catch its drips

A pedestal for a Japanese moss ball. The ball sits on six low ribs in the dish, so its base stays out of the drip water and air reaches underneath, while the tall pedestal shows it off like a sculpture.

Stijl Panel

MAIN PURPOSE: Compose a grid artwork with swappable inserts

A De Stijl grid you finish yourself. Thick black-style bars divide the panel into nine unequal cells: fill a few with coloured card, paint or fabric offcuts and leave the rest blank, then hang it on its keyhole as a modern wall piece that changes whenever the inserts do.
