Best Bet: Creatures of Comfort Planter Vessels

Working with the design team known as Chen-Williams, the brand Creatures of Comfort created an Illuminati-inspired line of marble vessels that could work as a magazine receptacle, a planter, or even a space-age Champagne bucket. The three-sided open cube has a diorama effect, giving the impression that it defies the laws of physics. No big deal.

Chen-Williams for Creatures of Comfort Third Eye Marble Vessels, $90 to $370 at Creatures of Comfort, 205 Mulberry St.; (212) 925 1005.
