Tea Bag Coffin.

Out of sight, out of mind. Brilliant design from Jonas Trampedach.

Where Do tea bags go to die?. Usually squashed on the side of the saucer next to the cup, or if you have a little less decorum the table will probably be just fine. Jonas Trampedach has been observing the behaviour of tea drinkers and has evidently been learning a lot. Consequently he has developed a solution to the bag dilemma that is as simple as it is ingenious. With the ‘Tea bag Coffin’, the drinker can tidily bury the bag under the cup and out of the way. RIP.

Spice Stack.

This spice stack unit is ridiculously stylish and affordable. It holds salt and pepper as well as two other condiments of your choice. Yes, please!

Ego’s Soup Tureen and Ladle.

I think I’ve made homemade soup a grand total of ONCE in my life. But if i owned this tureen and ladle I’d be more inclined to experiment!

…styled in bone china, safe for the oven, microwave and dishwasher. Its shape helps to retain heat, and the specially designed ladle is help upright by a little dimple in the base of the tureen.

Every Drop Counts.

The first in a series by artist Ayda Anlagan.

Every Drop Counts is a series of bowls where the bottom of the bowl is subtly inclined to create a whole new way of getting people to finish every last drop. With stories which end at the bottom of the food or with graphic narratives which conclude where the food accumulates, the user is encouraged to finish every last drop. It is the first of a series of objects which are designed to contribute in the reduction of food wastage in the domestic environment.

Homo Sapien Tool.

Marie Garnier designed this beautiful sandstone Homo Sapien tool that can be used as a knife sharpener, crushing or grinding stone (pestle). The tool measures 2.75 x 2 x 6.5″. Funny that reverting is sometimes the way to go!
