Flora Silicone Spoon and Spatula Set are covered entirely in pure solid silicone with a stainless steel skeleteon inside. Not only are they simple to clean, they are also organically shaped like plant leaves. A planter would make a cool holder for these kitchen utensils.

At first glance, it looks like a match stick burning out… and I assume that is the effect that the designer wants to achieve. This is an oil lamp with a wick just at the edge of the “burnt” match stick so it continues to lit up with a nice effect.

When the fireplace is lit, it appears that fire is escaping through a slit in the primitive black stainless steel stove setting. When the fire is unlit the interior of the slit is finished in a fiery red. The company, Safretti, is concerned to make sustainable design furniture through careful craftsmanship – this is an innovative design that will last and last.

“Passive Aggressive Anger Release Machine is an interactive sculpture. Experience the most satisfying feeling when a piece of China breaks into million pieces . All you have to do is insert a coin, and a piece of China will slowly move forwards and fall into the bottom of the machine, breaking, and leaving you happy and relieved of anger.”

But I thought it’s the act of throwing it yourself and releasing your tensed up energy that counts…

Kraanspoor (translated as craneway) is a light-weight transparent office building of three floors built on top of a concrete craneway on the grounds of the former NDSM (Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij) shipyard, a relic of Amsterdam’s shipping industry, along the shores of the IJ river in Amsterdam North.

Watch water spiral down the drain with this Ammonite sink. Very interesting.
Your morning ritual will never be the same again. If your contact lense happens to drop into the sink you will have more time to save it. More work for your spring cleaning too, with more dirt to brush away on more corners…

Britain’s most famous inventor, Sir James Dyson, is working on a project that could lead to the creation of a fast, green car.

Engineers at his research laboratory in Wiltshire are developing a powerful lightweight motor that could enable electric cars to zoom along for hundreds of miles without causing pollution. Solar panels on their roofs or in garages would charge them with renewable energy.
