The newest installment in the Destination series at the Museum of Modern Art travels to Japan for a collection of uniquely Japanese designs for housewares, gifts and oddities. Destination: Japan features many objects and we pulled our favorite three after the jump...

Silicon Pig Cooking Lid from Marna, Inc is $18. This multipurpose lid is perfect for the microwave and steam even escapes from the pig's snout!

Apple Jar with Spoon by Tatsuya Okazaki
is $55. We're big fans of the wooden spoon doubling as the stem!

Folding Bread Board by Hiroyuki Arai is $75. This one is our favorite: flip and fold the cutting board to suit whatever you are slicing. Plus, it folds up for easy storage.

I like the idea of the Ramen spoon/fork thing, but don't know that it's actually necessary. In fact, I don't think I'd ever use it.
