Hasta La Ideas

Czech designer Martin Zampach has produced a range of hexagonal bowls that are each made from three interlocking wooden leaves.

Martin Zampach constructed the Poly Bowl using pieces of cork, coated with ash, maple and alder wood veneers to create different colours and textures.

Curved edges allow the pieces to slot together, forming the hexagonal shape.

“The flexible building materials allow for extreme shaping of the segments and when all parts are locked to form the bowl the structure gets its strength,” Zampach explained.

The designer also says that the pieces fit together in different arrangements, “to form illusional 2D and 3D ornaments”.

Marcus Zampach’s previous projects include a collection of handblown glassware with bottle tops that can be used as shot glasses.

Other bowls we’ve featured on Dezeen include some that are so thin they quiver in the wind, a collection made from shredded money and a fruit bowl with concentric circles milled from a slice of oak.

Wouldn’t it be great if it the virtual tools worked also in the physical world?!It is to play with this theme that we create the Clicking kitchen grip..

This stackable tea set by architect VW+BS is made of unglazed clay that’s meant to soften the taste of whatever you drink from it.

The Silt range is made of twice-fired unglazed purple clay, which is commonly used in China to make intricate tea pots for serving green tea.

“The unglazed material has the effect of softening the taste of the water in the same way as activated charcoal,” said VW+BS. “This occurs whether you are serving tea, coffee water or wine.”

The collection comprises seven items, including a large jug, small jug, bowl and four cups. There’s also a lid that fits any of the pieces.

Fifty sets will be made at Taiwanese company Lin’s Ceramics Studio, each with a slightly different finish.

VW+BS will show the Silt collection in September at both designjunction in London, where they will also design the seminar space, and 100% Design Singapore, where VW+BS is creative director for the second year.

Other projects by VW+BS on Dezeen include wire and concrete seating and an office building for Singapore that resembles a giant periscope.

Most of us are guilty of sprinkling generous amounts of salt over our food, especially when we have intake restrictions. Mamma is a saltshaker with a difference. It has an integrated spoon-like lip with markings that lets you know how much salt you are going to sprinkle on the food. The main aim of this project is to reduce the intake of salt. The video explains it how…
