Floral before and afters
Posted in: Uncategorized
These beautiful images are from Rose and Radish’s Before and After Valentines. They have carefully considered the floral container as a lasting gift to be enjoyed long after the foliage has whithered. I admire Rose and Radish’s thematic gallery design, and although I’ve never been to their store in person, they have been an inspiration.

A look at Vestergaard-Frandsen, the company behind the LifeStraw
Posted in: Uncategorized
On one end of the product design spectrum we have idiots making USB-powered sandwich warmers, i.e. useless junk that no one asked for and that hopefully does not turn a profit. On the other end we have Vestergaard-Frandsen.
Chances are you’ve not heard of the company, but you’ve probably heard of the LifeStraw, a plastic cylinder fitted with a filter that those in less developed countries can use to drink water–even from puddles–safely. Vestergaard-Frandsen manufactures the LifeStraw and a host of other products that are both innovative and seek to better the lives of poor people around the world.
The New York Times takes a look at the fascinating story behind the company. It will remind you how much of what we design is frivolous!

University of Wisconsin art student Hongtao Zhou’s “Ice & Snow Furniture Raised From Lake Mendota” is the ultimate in recyclable furniture. “They connect the lake, the land, the air and the people and complete a life cycle with minimum environmental impact,” explains Zhou. And it is, of course, perfectly fine to dump the furniture back into the lake once it starts getting warm out.
