Well they are now available in various Apple stores, retail and online.
Apple currently seem to be stocking the FireWire 800 to FireWire 800 (Orange) version and the USB A to USB B (Blue) version which should cover most Mac users needs.

May 2009 : item win Red Dot award 2009
LaCie engaged us to design a range of high quality cables. We proposed a flat design which keeps the cables tangle-free. We also designed a range of icon-based stickers so that the cables can be easily labelled and identified. The cables ship in a range of vibrant colours - coded by function.
We are particularly pleased to have won the Red Dot award for this because it confirms our belief that design is important even for the small things.

This spoon tealight holder was created for Habitat home stores and forms part of their 2009 range.
We love this elegantly simple tealight holder which gives the impression, when lit, that the flame is suspended in mid-air.

The Mantel Dome represents a very modern take on a traditional object. We are very pleased to have worked with Innermost on this product. The elegant form, powder coat finish and gorgeous sweeping second-hand give Mantel a look that is both iconic and understated.
The initial model was launched in black and white with other finishes planned in the near future.
