Erdem Selek.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a Product Designer Crush before. And then there was Erdem Selek. The young Turkish-born designer pulls upon his own emotions to create designs that establish the multi-faceted qualities of objects. He loves playing with colors, shapes, materials and technology to manipulate everyday objects into something extraordinary.

My favorite of Selek’s pieces are his Coffee Cup and Dish Drainer. Coffee Cup’s saucer is in the form of a maze which the user can then navigate when coffee drips onto it. The Dish Drainer reuses water that drips off of the washed dishes as they dry by watering the plant underneath.
