Re-use

Matthijs Vogels was frustrated by the amount of food people throw away after meals. So, for part of his masters thesis at the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands, the 27-year-old designer put his frustrations to work: he created a series of bowls and plates called Waste-Ware that were hand-pressed out of left-over coffee grounds and herbs. Each biodegradable set doubles as a container; the coffee version is perfect for storing chocolates. Available at Studio hergebruik.

Tik Tak

This clock I found at www.justanotherproduct.com from designer Paul Andrew Taylor. Clock Grampa came about through Taylor’s love of old grandfather clocks. He loved these classic pieces but felt with today’s modern homes and limited hall space they needed to be redesigned. The end piece is a stunning and elegant streamlined version of a classic which, whilst being modern but retaining old features, Taylor hopes will become a 21st century classic in its own right.
