This kettle by Ecole Nationale supérieure d’Art et de Design de Saint-Etienne graduate Estelle Sauvage uses a light bulb to heat water for a cup of tea.

The incandescent bulb is mounted on a wooden base, while the glass jug has a recess to house the bulb close to but separate from the water.

It can heat water to 90°C.

See all our stories about this year’s graduate shows »

Here’s some more information from Sauvage:

This kettle works with the heat of an incandescent light bulb 100W, which the sale is forbidden since September, 2009 (in France). and which see ending their production and their existence within homes.

So the revolutionary object finished its life sadly, demonized by the ecology.

This project  just tries to pay a kind of tribute, staging the bulb, and its death.
The kettle becomes out of order, its status of useful object crosses in a fraction of second, an object of memory, a “former” object.

It really works, it does not bring the water to the boil but to an ideal temperature for tea: approximately 85 / 90°C.

It was presented in particular to the Pompidou Center of Metz, on July 4th of this year, during the “market of design” for the event ” Imaginez maintenant “.

London designer Roger Arquer has designed this vase with a funnel protruding from the side so that the water to be changed without removing the flowers.

Called Funnel Vase, the ceramic piece will be on show at an exhibition called Translations during the London Design Festival later this month.

The information below is from Arquer:

Funnel Vase

Funnel Vase (2010) is a ceramic flower vessel with a side opening in a funnel shape. The funnel helps to change the water without having to remove the flowers. The old water can be easily poured out through the funnel and replaced with fresh water, without a mess.

While being a very functional piece of design, Funnel Vase presents an original shape. The vessel has a gloss white glazing finish.

Funnel Vase is a challenging piece of ceramics since it’s made in one piece. The joint between the vase and the funnel holds the right angle making possible its production.

“I hope this vase will make the task of changing the water more gratifying”, says Arquer.

冰箱一度成为家庭中重要的电器，然而自从冰箱面世以来它的设计并没有多大改良。
nicolas hubert通过设计一款可以在户外使用的冰箱而对这一设计有所改变。
设计的灵感来自于 hubert在中国生活的两年经历。在中国很多家庭在冬天把食物存储到阳台上以节省空间和能源。
hubert将这一概念引入到他设计的冰箱中，它安装了一个外部墙体并在窗口装有一个滑轨，冰箱整体朝向窗户。
在寒冷的天气，冰箱可以借助周围的低温而在夏天它可以借助安装在侧面的光电管来吸收太阳能制冷。

A piece of furniture that resembles the technique architects use for recreating the topology of a landscape. Beautiful.

As part of a national campaign promoting McDonald’s restaurants, a downtown Vancouver lamppost became part of an out-of-home (OOH) optical illusion, appearing to pour coffee into a giant cup on the sidewalk. At the time, McDonald’s was giving away free small cups of its brew for a two-week period, in an effort to attract new breakfast customers. Ad firm Cossette’s Vancouver office developed the concept for a lamppost near 6th Avenue and Cambie Street. The post was wrapped in brown vinyl to resemble poured coffee, while an oversized carafe was attached to the end. Elsewhere in the city, a transit shelter was turned into an ‘hourglass,’ with an ever-diminishing number of coffee beans reminding customers of the promotion’s short-term nature.

The tree house restaurant was built as a marketing promotion for New Zealand Yellow Pages.
