Handmade Balloons by ODLCO

ODLCO:

The 1.5-quart cast iron pot is designed for meals which are served straight from the cooking pot. Drawing from the Japanese terms wabi-sabi (an aesthetic philosophy built on the concepts of simplicity, roughness, and naturalness) and nabemono (one-pot cooking), Wabi Nabe is meant to travel between stove, oven, fire and table with ease. In the spirit of wabi-sabi, the cast-iron handles are based on the naturally-occurring forms of charred wood, found at the sites of recent California wildfires.

Designed by Gabriel Hargrove for ODLCO in 2011

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec: Bivouac at the MCA

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec: Bivouac is a mid-career exhibition of work by two of the most exciting and innovative designers working today. Born and based in France, the Bouroullecs bring high-tech manufacturing ideas to standard furniture and design formats, such as the communal kitchen table and the basic dining chair, resulting in timeless, straightforward products devoid of trendy gimmicks. The brothers not only design elegant and beautiful objects—chairs, sofas, lamps, tables, and dishware—but they also develop pioneering hybrid forms that defy categorization as they shape space in clever new ways. The title of the show is inspired by this multipurpose hybridity, as a bivouac is a lightweight encampment or shelter that can be adapted to its environment just as Bouroullec products are activated by their end-users and the spaces they inhabit. ...

Hidden Vases by Chris Kabel

from designboom:

'hidden vases' is a research project by rotterdam-based designer chris kabel exploring the possibilities of hiding a watering container. originally for the spanish magazine plant journal, the aim of the design is to emphasize the flowers while keeping their source of water invisible. similar to a chicken feeder, ceramic, plastic or glass canisters are turned upside down and placed on a surface, allowing only a small amount of liquid through at a time. with the help of the chrome metal frame, the flowers are supported around the central vessel, hiding it. the final goal of the project is to make a mass-produced vase based on the same concept.
