The Perfect Pour

aromaswan_01

AromaSwan is a culinary container created for accuracy and ease of use in the kitchen when using liquid seasoning. The volume markings on the neck of the container indicate how much liquid will be pressed out; the user can set the exact amount of liquid they want by rotating the bottleneck before pressing. Whether it’s soy, vinegar, olive oil or another liquid, the design makes it a cinch to pour just the right amount each time. If you’re not the type who can eye your ingredients, this is the chef’s tool for you!

Designers: Zhang Kedi & Mu Yu

A Storage container called home

id1_house_1

Ukrainian Designer Igor Sirotov is back with a new architectural paradise, the ID1 House. Made purely out of cargo containers, the house design brings stor-age to the new-age (wasn’t that just clever?)!

The house uses a U shaped layout, creating two floors with all the space in the world. The classy touch lies in the bathtub that’s on the terrace (Leonard Cohen fans will get how cool that is), allowing you to soak in your bath salts as well as the tremendous view of the forest beyond. Breathless, don’t you think?

What is a home, just a storage container for the living soul…

Paper folding meets injection molding

organami_1

The Organami captures the aesthetic appeal of the japanese art of Paper Folding and brings it over to the world of storage solutions. Organami is a clean, petite container for your workspace. Nothing more, nothing less. Available in colours, with the ability to pair up into twos and fours, they’re sure to add a dash of zen to your desk.

I love the approach. A series of origami plastic accessories would really hit the spot!

Unique and Unexpected Light Objects

The CREVICE collection of ceramic interior lighting objects combines authentic pottery casting with a modern aesthetic that comes alive at night. Consisting of a vase, fruit bowl and simple table lamp, each contains hidden internal LEDS that reflect off a glossy white interior. The resulting illusion emanates from within and can further be controlled in brightness and color via a touchscreen remote control. In glossy or matte black, the exterior is hidden at night to highlight the internal color space.
