breakfast
Designed by Niklas Hessman | Country: Sweden
“A kind of taste pack for oatmeal. This package contains the right amount of oatmeal with added sugar and salt. You break your BREAK FAST pack over a bowl, add water and cook in the microwave. Then you can tentatively serve with cold milk. The idea is to target a new audience that otherwise would not eat oatmeal, but also to those who are usually in a hurry in the morning and tend to skip today’s most important meal, breakfast. Break it fast and have a BREAK FAST!”

Fragrance by Alexa Lixfeld
since the last post was about concrete, how about another??
Called Frangrance, the collection includes three different scents, each with a differently-coloured concrete lid.
Espresso Solo by Shmuel Linski
beautiful concrete espresso maker, designed by shmuel linski from Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Israel.
“The design process begun in choosing the material: I chose concrete. I had a vision: concrete in the kitchen, not only as a wall or decorative part, I wanted it to be a desirable consumer product.”
Sebastian Errazuriz
“We are fucking angry”
Sebastian Errazuriz’s newest work comes in the form of this little beauty, simple, yet creative and effective, its an artistic protest towards the b.p oil spill in april.
“It would be great if people at home could replicate the design and make their own improvised oil grenades to express their anger at BP.”
Originally from Chile, but now lives in New York. He strives to create works that push thinking, obsessed
by the dichotomies of life and death and it shows in his work.

Newson’s technically brilliant clock.
Superstar designer Marc Newson came up with the nearest thing to a perpetual motion machine, Newson rethought the famous Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos clock, which relies on tiny changes of temperature to alter the volume of gas contained within the mechanism and so wind the barrel. As just a one-degree change can power the clock for 48 hours, this means it should work almost indefinitely. Indeed, it so efficient at using tiny amounts of energy that it would take 60 million of them to power a single 15-watt light bulb.
“I have always been fascinated by the concept of the timepiece as a miniature universe. The Atmos 566 is particularly intriguing because of its own unique internal night sky. It's a wonderfully mysterious object that ironically seems very timeless.” - Marc Newson
Atmos is the brand name of a mechanical clock manufactured by Jeager- LeCoultre in Switzerland which does not need to be wound from its outside. It gets the energy it needs to run from temperature and atmospheric pressure changes in the environment, and can run for years without human intervention.
