Bright Idea
The guys at R 20th Century spent four years amassing the mind-boggling collection of furniture and objets by designer Verner Panton that now fills their TriBeCa digs. The Flower Pot pendant lamp comes in orange, navy blue, sky blue, white, and chrome. Prices are $350 (for colors) to $600 (for chrome).

Pillow Talk
Design fiends swear by Alexander Girard's graphic fabrics, but few know of the folk-art-inspired images he made in the sixties. These designs — sun, moon, mother and child, house, angel, heart — are now available on decorative pillows, which are silk-screened by hand by a women's artisan cooperative in New Mexico ($96).

Get Framed
Selima Salaun, the groovy glasses designer, has teamed up with uptown's favorite hair stylist, Frédéric Fekkai, to create a collection of plastic sunglasses that's as hip as it is haute. The four movie-star-inspired styles come in Salaun's signature high-contrast color combinations ($250).

Rocks — No Roll
Pair English Crown Jewelers with the designer daughter of rock royalty, and you get some pretty rocking rocks: Jade Jagger's debut collection for Asprey & Garrard includes the rings and pendant necklaces shown here. Pick from pieces that say HERO, DARE, or even JADED — or have a plain one inscribed with the moniker of your choice. Prices for engraved items start at $200.

Slap Happy
Sometimes a slap on the wrist is exactly what is called for. Flick these cute, furry strips on the back of your hand and they snap into bracelets; unroll them and they snap back into strips. The menagerie includes Lulu the Red Dog, Scooter the Monkey, Button the Koala, and Ruff the Lion. They're made for kids, but will fit small adult wrists ($4.95).
