The Fat Line table

Dutch designer Dirk vander Kooij developed a new table, called the ’ Fat line table’ and he recently presented this piece at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. The frame of the table is printed in a deep blue colour and the top is made out of very durable rubber. The oval shape and its blue colour is very gracious, but the table still has its industrial roughness. Another very nice piece of designer Vander Kooij. This prototype table is made for DUTCH DESIGN YEAR, other colours are possible.

Preserved Knowledge

admin — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 14:22:18 +0000

Cleo Maxime has created a series of objects inspired by traditional food preservation methods that predate the introduction of refrigeration. She is inspired by how we value our food and how this has changed over time. The collection include a cheese box made from translucent rubber that features a place for sugar to regulate humidity and prevent the cheese from spoiling. An apple-trivet is inspired by traditional apple racks that kept apples apart, increasing shelf-life and a glass item to preserve lemons; with a thin layer of vinegar, leftover halves placed on top stay good for another week. With this contemporary series of kitchen products Cleo Maxime wants to create awareness, educate and increase the value of our food. She sees her projects as a 3D documentation of the knowledge and valvues on food, which are otherwise disappearing.

Available in the webshop!!

Houdini

admin — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:04:52 +0000

It was the illusionist Houdini that inspired designer and artist Patrick Schols to create this cabinet in the search to find a different way of storage. For Patrick the shape is far more important than technique or high-tech materials….it’s in fact more a wooden sculpture, a piece of art. 8300,-

lamp

admin — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:07:47 +0000

The start for the lamp of German designer Sebastian Goldschmidtboeing was his interest in light and the natural dialogue it has with its environment. He wanted to design a lamp that was more open and corresponding to its user, a lamp that suggests a dialogue and triggers to be used, always appreciating to be a source of light. The result is a metal half-bowl, placed on the ground and containing a source of light. The closing surface provides protection to the open sphere. From the middle a metal beam reaches out and catches the attention. Asking for a contact it triggers to be touched. With this touch, the intensity of the light can be manipulated.
