Aside from the people with rabies, who doesn’t like water? Designer Ozgur Onal apparently does, as he’s celebrated that love with a design as beautiful as it is functional. DROPPA is a carafe meant to refresh your sense of beauty as well as your pallet. The limpidity transcends visual stimulus with a mind-soothing effect that only comes when the most serene purities of nature are awakened with a dash of energy and captured in frozen space.
The top half of this drop is the cup by where you invert to capture the watery contents of the stem. If this design makes it to market, there’ll definitely be one at my house.
Need a new sacrificing surface? How about a work station to provoke your creative genus? Well too bad, the Paint or Die but LOVE ME desk from Designer John Nouanesing is only a concept at the moment; I guess you’ll have to stick with the Pink Floyd and Mary Jane for those all-to-forgettable epiphanies.
If this escritoire does go into production, it will probably do very well, as will it’s service department when it has to repair all those extra drips that keep getting in the way and breaking off.

Herb & Spice Dish Drying Rack-for the greener good!

I like where Designer Ran Shnaper is going here, but A) I’m not sure there’s enough water dripping off my dishes to grow healthy plants, and B) there’s never enough room on the rack to begin with, I’m not sure I want herbs taking up valuable utensil space.
I really do like the idea of having a drying rack that doesn’t need to encroach on the sink for drainage. It’s also nice to think that I’m recycling. The main problem here is that this product assumes I cook foods that require spices and that I don’t use the dishwasher to clean my mess; two gravely incorrect assumptions.
*Plastic sprout replicas are for holding dishes and glassware only, not intended for use as cooking herbs.
The Austrian designer Marco Dessi has addressed an extremely important issue, which is of course how to live the wallpaper* life with those baseboards kickin it old school all over your pad.
Inspired by the industrial radiators of yesterday, this simple yet eye-catching model was designed to add a contemporary twist to older buildings whose fashion sense was molded in the era of shag and hula-hoops. Each individual square on the Wall Radiator can be rotated by hand. The end square turns the unit on and off. Since this is only a design, I’m not really sure if it’s meant for electric, steam, or forced hot water; what I do know is that I like the idea and wouldn’t mind retro-fitting this artistic twist into my house.
When you don’t have your own bathroom the next best thing is toilet pages; just because you’re sharing a bathroom doesn’t mean you have to share herpes. Toilet pages has nice iconic tabs that reminds you what task or for which person each seat is specifically designated. Designer Jan Ctvrtnik has marked the tabs and seat layers for family use. For instance, the first seat is designated for a toddler, but these could easily be changed to accommodate different circumstances. If this great concept ever goes to market I imagine there will be various models to accouter common situations.
