Form not so much function

I love this Singapore based company d.lab, created by the Design Incubation Centre, part of the Department of Architecture at the school of Design and Environment in the National University of Singapore.  It aims to examine the relationship between man, object and the environment.  They are exquisite in execution, fantastically perfect ergonomic shapes.

Well the picture did it for me.  It reminded me of a speeding motorist in Notting Hill who I recently saw zipping through the snow with a Japanese cedar hot tub on the roof.  Not so silly I thought.  Get yours at www.bacsac.fr

Paper napkins

I promise you they’re more exciting than they sound.  In fact, this is one of the coolest products I have come across in a long time.  Paper napkins in 17 great colours dispensed on a perforated roll. ‘My Drap’ as the company tells you is ‘simple and ingenious’.  Machine washable or not so impossibly expensive that you can chuck them out.  I fell upon them and came home with arm loads. www.virages.fr

Check out these super elegant sculptural bowls made by a German artist.  These are the best of their kind and of course they look best in a group.  www.ernst-gamperl.de
