| Posted: 27 Feb 2009 06:04 AM PST Barely have we come out of appreciating the Enso that we have another innovative way of making and serving a hot beverage. The Mateando is the Spanish way of serving your cuppa in a very stylish ceramic set. The three-layer construction consists of "a yerbera, a sugar bowl and a mate". Sugar is understood, mate here is the brew cup, but pardon my Spanish I don't know what yerbera means! Hot ceramic can blister your hand, that's why a special leather sleeve has been included round the cup. Designer: Eliana Vincenzo     |
| Music In My Soul, In My Kitchen As Well Posted: 27 Feb 2009 01:25 AM PST Taking inspiration from the works of Dieter Rams, designer Anton brings us this unique radio for the kitchen. The design takes into account wet-fingers, food smudges and greasy gloves. Going for a minimalist approach, the DAB Digital Radio features decent enough goodies to entice you. Stuff like rubberized weighted base, splash-resistant design, enclosed speakers and battery operation make it more durable given the environment it is intended for. Large touch sensitive buttons give you the freedom to turn up the volume using your elbows or even knuckles! It also sports a click back preset adjuster just to give you that authentic radio feel. Specs include a black LCD screen with a vertical scrolling text. To keep the costs down, ABS injection molded exterior was chosen over aluminum. Over the years a kitchen has transformed from a cooking station to a family activity hub. Homework gets done there, plus you have the TV, high-tech appliances hooked to a comp; so basically this is a dedicated kitchen radio fits into the scheme as well. Designer: Anton Webb     |
| Knockin’ Around the Block Party! Posted: 27 Feb 2009 12:15 AM PST Check these blocks out. They play music. One block, the base block, is the control block. This is the block that plays the music and responds to controls. The controls - they are the other blocks. Each block, depending on weight, adds volume to the music. To switch to a new track, turn a stacked block. Beware of using these blocks in high-traffic areas - birds, cats, and girlfriends, because if the blocks are knocked: no more music! It’s just a couple months short of a year since we’ve seen designer Idan Arbel, one of the designers on this project - about to send the search teams out! We love you Idan! You and your team’s blocks. These “Music Blocks” are splendorous - as is evident in the video below. As mentioned, the neat thing about this project is that the only block that has any electronics in it is the control block. The rest of the blocks are hardwood and tin conductors. p.s. The video below is a must-see. Designers: Idan Arbel, Dana Yichye Shwakchamn & Yossi Lugasi     |
| You Like the Cold Water? Vertical Ice. Posted: 27 Feb 2009 12:01 AM PST You love the cold water. For when you want ice in a nice place, there is the “Iced Carafe.” Design team “Officeoriginair” brings you what’s basically a simple contraption, made simply for having wonderful time! Molded plastic with a rubber stopper, made in such a fashion that if you freeze an amount of water in the bottle while it’s on it’s side, the ice will stay put! Full on cold your entire drink experience. The ice. It sticks to the inside of the bottle, on the side. It makes the whole drink cold. The whole time you drink it. And if you just sit there and wait to see if the ice will fall off into your drink, you’ll notice that once it does, it’s still a giant hunk of ice, a vertical piece of ice, which is still keeping your drink cold. Viva vertical ice! Designer: Officeoriginair     |
| Pre-Burned Furniture For That Indie Housefire Look Posted: 26 Feb 2009 10:08 AM PST If you’re going for that lived-in look for your apartment but find everything you buy just comes off as too new you might try the Frene chair/step-up by Camillo Vanacore. Completely transforming the object by charring its wooden surface, Camillo draws the eye and hand in desire to feel its unique texture. The piece itself is a combination chair and four-step ladder for reaching that copy of Fahrenheit 451 perched high up on your bookshelf. Hit the Jump for the chair’s different configurations. Designer: Camillo Vanacore     |
| Not As Uncomfortable As It Looks Posted: 26 Feb 2009 09:40 AM PST While it might resemble some medieval torture device at first glance, this stool utilizing a kind of egg crate acoustic foam material might actually be quite comfortable. Designed south of the border at Eosméxico Studio, the chair does not appear to be in production sadly, but enough inquisitive emails might change that. Hit the jump for a version sans the spikes.
