Franck de Las Mercedes has found a way to bring peace, freedom and justice to any location on the planet. How, you ask? By using the postal service, of course. The abstract painter’s series entitled “The Priority Boxes” transforms empty boxes into social messages that deliver hope in the same way you might order pants from J.Crew. Labels affixed to the outside warn delivery staff and recipients to “Handle With Care: Fragile. Contains: Peace.” Need a little peace yourself? Simply enter your name and address on de Las Mercedes’ site and a box will arrive, free of charge.

Italian designer Cleto Munari wanted to find a way to honor the accomplishments of great writers through design. So, he invited four architects—Toyo Ito, Alessandro Mendini, Alvaro Siza and Oscar Tusquets Blanca—to design pens dedicated to five winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature. Should you purchase one of the elegant writing instruments, you’ll receive The Book of the Five Pens, which includes renderings of each pen, prose by the Nobel Prize winners and letters written by each author describing their personal relationships to the act of writing.

For every electronic item you buy, there’s a cord that inevitably gets tangled up with all the other cords from all the rest of the electronic items you’ve bought over the course of your life. Well, tangle no more: The Cableyoyo gently winds any cable into a sleek little box that not only keeps it safe in storage, it can also affix to a surface to pick up the slack while your gadget is plugged in. And, with creators at Blue Lounge being the design-centric people they are, Cableyoyos come in white, silver and black to perfectly match those electronics from that certain little company you probably have more cords from than any place else.
