Mark A. Reigelman II has designed this Bite silverware in an effort to help raise awareness of worldwide epidemics such as starvation and obesity. He explains “each day millions of individuals lay in hunger while millions more are wastefully overeating. This set of ‘bitten’ silverware highlights the daunting reality of both worldly plagues.”

Fascinated by the history of Viennese Silver, Thomas Feichtner created a fruit bowl for the renowned Wiener Silber Manufactur . Rather than opting for the traditional rounded bowl body, Feichtner chose to put the fruit on a pedestal. It appears as though the fruit might tumble down the sides where the legs have been formed, but instead it becomes wedged. Reminiscent of Feichtner’s Linz Hocker stool , the bent silver body achieves a sculptural look. Nice, eh?

Merchant4 alerted us to some of their new items, including these fabulous wooden kitchen accessories.We love products crafted from wood. Just visit our showrooms in Downingtown and Philly and you will see what we mean:)

Philadelphia-based designer and craftsman James McNabb took inspiration from cityscapes and chose to mesh his woodworking skills into this series of urban landscapes. The über detailed sculptures are made from discarded scrap wood and each abstract architectural “building” is unique. We don’t know about you but we still get excited when we view a city from an airplane or a tall building. There’s something about that perspective that is so fascinating.  The City Series from McNabb & Co. , give that same dizzying feeling. Wood always turns us on>

There have been numerous times in which we would over-season our food due to a lack of control from the traditional salt and pepper shakers. There is also a prevalent problem with traditional salt shakers in which the humidity from a recently-cooked meal will eventually build up and clog the openings at the top of the shaker. This design would seem to circumnavigate that issue entirely. With that said, I love that its multi-functionality does not encumber its minimalist design. Sogum Huchuhuchu  is a minimalist design created by Korean-based designer  Jaemin Jaeminlee . The function of the design is to allow users to deposit small amounts of salt or pepper into the recessed area of the spoon. Not only does this allow the user to have more control over how much salt or pepper needs to be dispensed, but also gives him/her a visual cue of the amount of salt or pepper being used for future reference.

This series of plates by Nir Meiri are made from two basic materials: concrete and wood. We think that the feet look like ballerina toes, delicately balancing the treats.

Who says modern can’t have a sense of humor or a dash of whimsy? Certainly not Bill Playso, the head of the Australian lifestyle brand Playso . He designed the Koo Koo mailbox in a stylized shape of a bird to bring some fun to something that’s normally relegated to simply functional. Working with industrial designer Justin Hutchinson, the avian themed mail holder came to life, making it designed and manufactured in their homeland of Australia. We love how the wing is open to hold magazines and larger mail!
