Jul 26, 2012 1:00 PM   If the fear of accidentally lopping off a finger keeps you from experimenting in the kitchen, designer Rowan Williams' Pego cutting board concept should fill you with more culinary confidence. It has a clever movable peg design that holds what you're cutting for you, so your fingers never get anywhere close to the blade. With proper cutting techniques your fingers shouldn't be at risk of being nicked anyways, but many aspiring chefs don't have the time to master their blades. So this seems like a fair compromise. From the looks of it the board also integrates a built-in weigh scale, and assorted cutting implements, but it's that brilliant peg design that will have most amateur chefs hoping someone makes the Pego a reality.

So each time you flip it on, you get a glimpse of the items on your to-do list. Crafted by Brazilian design shop Studio Ninho, the lamp is pretty simple: three wooden legs, a socket, and a cork board shade where you can tack all your notes. It comes in a little tube with all of its pieces, and you get to assemble it yourself; the video below shows how easy that is. And it's a case of form following function—not only is it adorable, but it might help you be a little more productive.
