Simply Design Coffee.

Mondays are consistently my highest days of coffee consumption. And when it’s dreary and raining outside you can pretty much count on tripling my Normal Monday Intake. I don’t care whether it’s hot, frothy, icy, blended, bottled or all of the above (is that even possible?), I will take it and gladly toss it back.

When I came across Simply Design Coffee I got really excited – here are two of my all-time loves, coffee and design, harmoniously co-existing in a non-Starbuck’s environment. Kudos to the designers at ING who stood up for negative space because it makes the product come full circle.

Lagrange 34.

Lagrange 34 is this beautifully crafted chocolate from Torino, Italy (which is coincidentally somewhere I’d love to visit before my last day). The new line of chocolate products combines traditional quality and a contemporary design approach. Currently there are six different designs to choose from. Lagrange 34 prides themselves on exploiting chocolate as a design medium. Love it! Can you frame chocolate?

Evian Palace Bottle.

Evian has created the Evian Palace Bottle for “the ultimate dining experience.” Form and function abound between the pourer, coaster and bottle design which bring a new level of sophistication and style to the table. Unfortunately, you can’t create that experience in your own home because the Palace Bottle is only available to leading restaurants.

Chocolat Moderne.

Buying chocolates from Chocolat Moderne might be the secret to dieting. I’m almost positive that if I had these little beauties around versus Hershey’s I’d be more likely to pass on eating them and vie for looking at them instead. Let’s not forget the packaging either. The colors and simplicity of design are perfect for something so decadent.

Gloji.

I think I’m coming down with a cold (sore throat, achy ears, all that good stuff). Perhaps something that claims it has the “power of the most potent antioxidant known to man” could help me out a little bit.

Gloji harvests the “power” of the goji berry to create one powerful drink available in two different mixes – Glogi Mix which is a combo of goji berries and pomagranate and Gloji Gold which seems to be liquid health or something thisclose to it.

It’s actually all about the packaging. Any brand brazen enough to package their product in a lightbulb-shaped bottle has my vote.
