5 in Uno Set of Glasses

Joe Colombo's 5 in Uno Set of Glasses (1970) lets you set your table for a five-course meal, with each guest having their own set of five hand-blown glasses. Nested together, either for presentation or for storage, these glasses create the shape of a stylized flower. As each drink is poured, a different glass is used. Glasses are intended for: spirit, port/prosecco/dessert wine, wine, water and cognac/brandy. Colombo, an innovator in plastics design in the 1960s and ’70s, was the recipient of many awards, including the Compasso d'Oro in 1967 and 1970. Dishwasher safe. Made in Italy.

SunJar
Tobias Wong, 2006

Inside this traditional Mason jar hides a highly efficient solar cell, rechargeable battery, and low energy LED lamps. Place the jar in the sunlight and the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery, powering the three LED lamps and providing diffused and warm light from the frosted jar during the night. Completely water tight, the SunJar can be left outside in any weather condition and is the perfect garden light or night-light.

Midsummer Light
Tord Boontje, 2004

Designer Tord Boontje employs computerized production processes to create his lacelike shade with graduating color. Made of Tyvek®, a paper-like material that is both strong and lightweight, the shade softly diffuses the light of a 60-watt bulb (not included). Includes a 15-foot cord with standard plug.

Ive always been fascinated by good design. the concept of spending money on a quality item made with thought and care. clean shapes and lines or maybe a twist on a classic.incredible feats engineering or a simply elegant piece.using colors and materials in whole new ways. clocks, tables, lamps, rugs, mirrors, bottles,calenders. just make it worthwhile and totally unmundane. i know what i want to do when i grow up. its design; a fusion of the right and left side brain.
be inspired find your vocation.
