Hasta La Ideas

This is a great concept by Oscar Parkinson, a Product & Furniture Design student at London’s Kingston University.

“Kitchen Counters are small analogue devices that record the amount of use you get out of your electronic goods. They aim to help us develop an appreciation for how much our appliances do for us, reducing the incentive to needlessly upgrade and questioning our current, often disconnected relationship with them.”

Parkinson, if you’re reading this: I’ve been over your Instagram, but would love to see/read more—sketches, thoughts, prototypes–and do urge you to build out a portfolio website with details of your work. (It took me some detective work just to figure out where you went to school!)
