Wantful is basically a service for buying + sending gifts to friends and loved ones — with a twist. I really think the Facebook integration in the form when you first try the service is brilliant way of getting new users to sign up. Also, make sure that you go through the process of specifying your friend's interests at least once. It's remarkably well done.

Beautifully designed printed inspirational reading material for digital designers seems to be all the rage these days. Offscreen is no exception. Needless to say, the accompanying site is brilliantly designed.

It has taken a few years, but the world class Swedish digital agency Doberman has finally come around to creating a proper website for themselves. Even though I think they should have dropped the "Tweets and blog feeds" from the home page, as this basically only serves to clutter their message, this is only nitpicking from my side. The project presentations and the other various sections of the site combine function and form with great success.

The recent redesign of Fast Company's design related news site Co.Design was a truly impressive feat. I'm absolutely loving the way they've built a visually unparalleled beauty that is also a pleasure to read. Add to that the fact that their editorial profile is very inspiring, and the incredibly well done responsive aspect of the design makes this one of the best editorial designs of all time in my book. Read more about the redesign on Co.Design.

I have yet to stay at a Four Seasons hotel. Still, in my mind they have an impeccable reputation for great service design. With their recent complete revamp of their online offering, Four Seasons takes a great leap forward. I know the competition isn't too tough, but I have yet to see a better hotel website than this. Finally someone raised the bar.

I love the combination of a boxy grid-based design and great product photos in use at the Unit Portables site. You immediately get the feeling that their products are genuinely unique. However, my favorite part of the design is the way they have pulled the color of the main products displayed on the homepage onto the box below. It works especially well with the strong red and blue bags. Nice touch! Via @tomcavill.

Goodie! One of my favorite Norwegian design studios finally moved away from their old portfolio built with Flash. This new site clearly shows how well these designers understand the web, not only technology-wise but also the UX. This is probably one of my favorite site designs in a while. Just check out the beautiful typography and grid. The slide-in search box is also an exquisite touch.

Impressive redesign of Freitag's website + webshop by none other than Oliver Reichenstein (Information Architects). The site is distinct, beautiful, very easy to navigate and provides you with good views of Freitag's bags. What more can you ask for?
