The InsideOut Champagne Glasses is made out of hand-blown borosilicate glass. It is a must have for at-home entertaining and beautifully spruces your barware collection.

vino arielle (Wine Aerator)

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:58:57 +0000

vino arielle™ is a wine aerator that is masterfully engineered and uniquely designed to elevate your wine drinking experience to another level. By introducing the ideal amount of air, your ordinary wine can be softened instantaneously. And, at the same time, awakening and opening up its aroma from within. Why do we need a wine aerator? A wine aerator will instantly transform a young, acidic wine to a ready-to-drink wine. This will satisfy any last minute decision to open a bottle of wine but can't wait for the wine to breathe properly. With a breath of air, the vino arielle instantly alleviates the flavour of your wine, accentuating its aroma, smoothening its texture while mellowing its tannin levels. Total Indulgence of Your Senses Sight: The sleek aesthetics of vino arielle™ easily complements any bar or table tops. Also, watching the water works and wine flowing through the aerator is a pleasant and therapeutic treat. Sound: Listen to the crisp and calming rhythm of wine mixing with air through vino arielle™. Smell: vino arielle™ opens up the aroma of your wine, enhancing your wine drinking experience with yet another facet. Taste: vino arielle™ has the ability to turn the ordinary into great. Best suited for young red wines, the wine aerator instantly softens its flavour profile by reducing the tannin levels. Technical Write-up vino arielle™ is designed based on the principle of fluid mechanics, intelligently introducing the ideal amount of air into your wine through a seemingly simple yet precisely calculated mechanism. It is also made from food-grade plastic materials. 1. When wine is poured through, the filter serves to retain and remove any sediments in the wine resulting in purer wine and also act as the first aeration process. 2. As wine flows through the openings on the filter, the right amount of air is drawn through the centre shaft of the aerator into the mixing chamber thereby oxygenating the wine. 3. Vortices are then formed as the wine exit the aerator and these bubbles will aerate the wine for the second time.

Tree Hooked Hanger

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:58:57 +0000

Inspired by a flowering tree, it’s both sculptural and a useful means of organizing clothing. Since it’s modular, it can expand to fit any space. Tree Hooked is the first product to come from the creative and matrimonial union of Dutch designers Alissia Melka-Teichroew and Jan Habraken. Alissia and Jan saw a professional collaboration as a way to celebrate their 2006 marriage. From a metaphorical perspective, a tree-inspired product is the perfect solution. After all, marriage is the bringing together of two family trees. Trees also symbolize stability, growth, and renewal. The origin of the concept came from coat-hanging knobs that Jan and Alissia had spotted in Paris. In Alissia’s words, they thought that they could “build upon the idea.” In Jan’s words, “we wanted a simple product that would be universally understood but also flexible enough for people to use in their own unique way.” Each Tree Hooked unit is 22” and can be displayed vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. It's modular design encourages users to experiment with different patterns. The compelling simplicity of the design and the endless possibilities for its use has garnered rave reviews.

CITY RAIN concrete glass is made of high water-absorption concrete with idea of wet street and glass window, the ingenious combination of two kinds of hard materials – glass and concrete with low contrast gray and simple lines presents a unique taste for the glass. The process of making concrete product is a work needed a lot of patience and carefulness. It consumes time and energy to take care of products even when the products have already finished. From the beginning of making molds and accurately calculating the percentage of admixture, to the end of keeping the cement wet, the procedure is longer than a week and not to mention that all the processes are made by hand.

Ceramic Speakers

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:58:57 +0000

Simple materials The Ceramic Speakers are made from porcelain, cork, and Baltic birch. Each material is minimally finished, left to add its natural beauty to the design. The included amplifier is made from stainless steel sheet metal, with a cast iron base and paulownia volume slider. Aside from the electronic components, plastic is completely avoided in the system’s construction. Intense detail Typical speakers are designed to play even the most compressed or poorly recorded track. They gloss over the details that give high-resolution music its depth. The Ceramic Speakers’ custom-made drivers, porcelain and cork enclosures, and Tripath amplifier reveal every nuance. They will show the difference between lossless and mp3 files, and will unlock vinyl’s richness. Never proprietary Binding posts, 1/8″ jacks, and banana plugs have been perfected through years of electronic design. It would be arrogant to replace these simple, effective standards with proprietary connectors. Due to their open design, the Ceramic Speakers work with nearly all high-quality components. The terminals also have a utilitarian beauty that the design emphasizes rather than hides. System includes: - One year warranty on all electronics and enclosures - Two ceramic speakers - Amplifier based on the Tripath 2024 T-Amp with gold-plated binding posts, 1/8″ input, cast iron base - 16-gauge oxygen-free copper speaker cables with banana plug termination - Interconnects for RCA and 1/8″ sources - 120V-240V power supply and adapter (works with US, EU, and Australia/ Asia power mains) Specifications: Output: 15 W/ channel Sensitivity: 89 dB Frequency Range: 70 Hz – 20 kHz Impedance: 4 Ohm Driver Materials: Paper diaphragm, aluminum phase plug, neodymium magnet, die-cast basket Learn more from the Yanko Design review of the Ceramic Speakers by Joey Roth.

chair bookcase bookcase chair

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:58:57 +0000

The desire of this design is founded in material efficiency, functional multiplicity, clarity of tectonic systemization, and an aesthetic celebration of the intrinsic form and beauty of plywood. Developed as a chair and a bookcase simultaneously, the intention was to provide both the storage for and a seat in which to read. Divided into three systems, there is [1] a cockpit chair that has an adjustable angle of repose and uses a compressive slotted connection, [2] a structural frame and cover/cloak that uses a fingered connection, and [3] an infill shelving system that deploys a pegged connection. The 237 books complete the remainder of the composition. Focused on sustainability, the chair is materially efficient using over 90% of the 4'x8' sheet of plywood. Based on the hybrid dimensions of Le Corbusier's infamous leather and metal LC2 chair and the flat pack limitations of a single sheet of plywood, the chair bookcase bookcase chair acts as a delicate lattice when empty and a dominant cube when full. The tectonic to provide for perpetual assembly and disassembly without tools deploys three connection types to articulate each of the systems. Milled with the precision of a CNC, but with a simplicity of connection so that pieces only fit in one configuration, the chair requires no instructions or tools. The variable cockpit seat is able to rotate in its cradle allowing for adjustable positions for reclining or for task work. It is to be bleached to provide a contrasting coloration while preserving the grain and beauty of the wood veneer. Celebrating the form and beauty of plywood, combined with the functionality of multiple programs, the chair bookcase bookcase chair maximizes the minimum.

Work Lamp

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:58:57 +0000

A construction lamp from the garage and the workshop, always handy and within reach in a dirty and greasy environment. Hanging from the ceiling, standing on the floor, lying on a table. Doesn’t it work fine just as it is? Almost. To bring it inside, to turn an everyday object into something special, some refinement was required. But just a little. The flimsy steel wire needed some toughness, solidity and more refined angles. And why not change the colour from strong black to gold? Or chrome-plating? The Work Lamp presents itself as a ready-made item with added character and improved appearance. “One lamp to rule them all,” joke Jonas Pettersson, John Löfgren, and Petrus Palmér who together constitute the acclaimed young design trio Form Us With Love. “We wanted to use as little material as possible, while still protecting the naked bulb. However, the traditional construction lamp was already there: you can drop it, treat it roughly, it’s an everyday do-it-all object. We just had to refine it!” While preserving its blue-collar roots, the Work Lamp will of course stand out in its new surroundings, and its rebellious attitude can naturally be mitigated with the dimmer.
