I stumbled over the portfolio of Jonathan Rowell, and I timidity got exited about this lamp called ”Screw me”. Like the name indicates, in the literarily sense of the phrase, the lamps can be screwed into the right height and position. The design is clean and fresh, and the fact that Jonathan has managed to combine the extra functional aspect of the lamp, with a playful is just perfect! I hope to see this in production reel soon!

Just the other day I was attending a traditional Easter-dinner with family and friends, and as always at a party someone spilled their red wine on the white tablecloth. It is almost impossible to avoid, yet somehow it still makes however was the unfortunate one to feel quite bad. That’s why I really love this tablecloth Underfull witch revels a hidden pattern when colored fluid is spilled on it. It’s made by Kristine Bjaadal, a Norwegian design student, and I think she has manage to turn an everyday negative situation is into a positive experience with Underfull. (more…)
BrandyDesign is an agency based out of Warsaw, Poland that specializes in creating corporate, brand and product identity. One of their latest designs is the serie of beauty products called Nanobiotic. Nanobiotic is a packaging line for nanobiotechnological diet supplements containing particles of gold (Au) and silver (Ag) that aid in the skin’s natural regeneration process. I love how they have used that “ingredient” of gold and silver in the design as well… The packaging looks clean, elegant and luxurious and I wouldn’t mind having a skin with a touch of gold!
I don’t drink alcohol, and sometimes I get really irritated with the lack of non-alcohol beverages served in bars. I usually end up with the choice between Coca Cola or water, and both of these bottles are immediately associated with not drinking (and therefore being boring in some peoples mind). That’s why at first sight, I though that these cans from Schweppes was really cool! They look fresh, cool and they have the look of a drink although its just soda water. On second look I realise they are glow in the dark as well- witch might be a bit over the top tacky for my taste- but still, the design is a great option to a boring bottle of water …Designed by Fred & Farid
