Hasta La Ideas

Everyone remembers the first time Mom & Dad let them give a hand in the kitchen! The Make: Family Cooking concept aims brings the whole family together to participate in cooking with an easy-to-use E-ink system. The cutting board serves as both a place to dice food and as a display for step-by-step instructions and recipes. Simply follow the directions while using the modular handles to control the whisk, board, and measuring cup. Fun and safe for kids – worry-free for parents!

Designer: Joshua Harris

From the creators of the nCycle comes the nThree – the latest challenge in efficient, affordable urban mobility. The single-seater trike’s shape takes influence from the toucan bird, applying the same structural qualities to achieve a lightweight, yet incredibly strong outer shell. This lightness, in combination with electric power delivered to the rear wheel, make it able to zip around town like a motorcycle but with the comfort of a car.

Its simple “Y” shaped body structure ensures a significant reduction in weight. Internally shaped and modeled like a toucan beak, the two side arms have a thin and lightweight section resistant to shock and impacts. In order to mimic this functionality, the designers ran a stress analysis test on the side arms to figure out the areas being stressed out most on the body, and to try to better distribute the stress based on the profile shape of the arm and the different areas it connects with the other parts of the nThree. Compared to similarly proportioned vehicles weighting about 300-500Kg, the nThree is expected to weight only around 100 Kg or less depending on the materials and hardware used. This will translate in a much higher power efficiency and lower energy consumption.

London Design Festival 2013: a range of cast iron cookware by British designer Jasper Morrison for Japanese brand Oigen has gone into production (+ slideshow).

Morrison worked in collaboration with 160 year-old Japanese cast iron manufacturer Oigen to create the Palma cookware range.

Palma includes cooking pots and pans with lids, a frying griddle, a kettle and a condiment server. The products are all made from cast iron and intend to follow the tradition of Oigen’s production techniques.

The cookware is on display this week at Morrison’s Library of Design pop-up at his east London shop.

The shop is open for visitors to browse 100 of the designer’s books and four products, including his Fionda chair for Mattiazzi, until 22 September.

Other products by Jasper Morrison featured on Dezeen recently included an outdoor chair for Spanish brand Kettal and the Please watch for fashion brand Issey Miyake.
