Wishlist: Dosh Wallet»

The first in what’s sure to become one of the hottest lines of prod­ucts in the planet, the Dosh is an inno­v­a­tive wal­let made of an unique, glob­ally patented blend of flex­i­ble and semi-flexible eco-friendly–poly­mer that’s not only durable but also grease/oil resis­tant and easy to wash. Win­ner of the 2008 Inter­na­tional IF Award in the Leisure / Lifestyle cat­e­gory, the Dosh Its the brain­child of BlueSky, a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary design com­pany who’s been design­ing prod­ucts for such brands as Phillips and Elec­trolux, as well as the Olympic Torch for the 2000 Syd­ney Olympics and the next gen­er­a­tion of trains for the Syd­ney rail net­work, and is now ven­tur­ing into their own brand. Would some­one please get me one (in each color ;).

It looks like there’s still a few wrin­kles to iron out, and some prod­ucts seem to be miss­ing (most notably the beloved Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman—at least in the north amer­i­can sec­tion), but over­all the site looks great with more breath­ing room (com­pare it to the pre­vi­ous ver­sion which wasn’t fit for claus­tro­pho­bics), bet­ter higher res­o­lu­tion image gal­leries and inter­est­ing visual cues.
