cutting board

I am really happy with the way that this board turned out. I believe that Taesuk did the original sketch for it and Julia, Mohan and the rest of the team refined it through production. I am thinking that we should all take a field trip to see them being made up in MA.

Holiday Gift idea #9

If you know someone that is looking for a humidifier I think that this design should get a look. We designed it for the Bionaire brand but the home decor aesthetic was the result of a terrific hypothesis by Don Bryce and Carl Engelbourg. The result took vision and Perseverance by many whose names I do not know. Given the aesthetic of the rest of the category this is a huge step that we tried to take without alienating consumers or completely removing the functional cues. Great project.

Colander

Our friends at Recycline were thoughtful enough to send us a truck load of products from the first run. I gave a couple of the colanders away thinking that what my designer friends would love is the soft, subtle form and the bold colors but what is getting all of the rave reviews is the sturdy construction. People are thrilled with how beefy and stable the design is...as shown in this great photo by Marshall Troy.

interesting form

I am not sure that this works from a cleanability standpoint but getting the standard stubby electric stump handle down to a form that is closer to a traditional wet-shave stick handle seems like a trend that everyone is jumping onto. I wonder what the rechargeable base looks like?

Patrick's idea

Patrick Thrailkill and Evo won an award a few years ago with a concept very similar to this and better looking. I can not remember the name of the competition but I think it was japanese. This one is called Wattson. Here is what Wattson does, with both numbers and colors, wattson shows you how much electricity your home is using at any given moment. Wattson can also store up to 4 weeks of energy-use history which can be downloaded to your computer and viewed using software soon to be available from our website. I think that they copied Patrick.

A little late

Here is a picture of the boys from Halloween. Ian changed from the turtle mask to a skull after the first few houses. Edison has still not touched his candy...he says he does not like it anymore.

Holiday Gift idea #8

Taylor sent me a link to these and I think they are great. They may even offer a holiday card variation. This one is called Jules.
