I love the egg-like shape of the OvoPur, an eco-friendly water filter. There’s also the OvoBar, a beverage dispenser for whatever you choose. How gorgeous would either of these look sitting on your counter? Very.
My grandmother has an impressive china cabinet in her dining room filled to the brim with heavy pewter pieces and chunky white stoneware that we only bring out for holidays and special occasions. She’s been collecting it all for ages and I can’t help but associate the two things with her and her delicious cooking. I think that’s why this pewter stoneware first struck a chord in me. But then I realized what a daring fusion it was of two distinct styles and couldn’t stop staring.
This heavy duty citrus juicer makes me want to open a lemonade stand. Or at least start drinking fresh squeezed OJ every morning.
Big utensils photoprinted on dishtowels. Kind of the modern equivalent of those humongous wooden forks and spoons everyone had on their kitchen walls back in the day, only much more chic!
The Oiva tablewear collection consists of five cups, three bowls, three plates and a teapot. Am I crazy to think that these are the only things I could ever need in my kitchen cupboards? Mad love, I tell ya. (Supposedly available here as of Fall 09…) {via SeeSaw Designs}
I become obsessed with the most random everyday things. Like these commercial straight-sided jars. The instant I saw them I wanted them. Just to put things in. Things to display within their glass jail cell walls. A museum of sorts with ever-evolving exhibits.
I love when things are put together with other things to make said things more, well, purposeful. Like in the case of the coffee and tea maker. It makes six cups of either and even filters the water while its at it. That’s just plain good design sense.
Seems to me that Eno and Sebastian Bergne’s Drip Stop Spoon Holder + Kitchen Pencil could get a touch messy, but I love the concept nonetheless. I think most cooks would. And that spoon holder is just so minimalistic and gorgeous!
The Coffee for One French Press would be perfect to curl up with on a cold weekend morning. Or at the office if you have a crappy brew there. All you need is access to hot water and ground coffee.
The functionality of the Coffee Time Coffeeset is awesome. Designed by Elise Berthier, the porcelain set of six coffee cups and stirrers comes with its own serving tray. The cup lids keep the coffee warm and then offer the dual function as saucers. And it’s compact, making it perfect for apartment living where cupboard space is so scarce!
