Gift Giving Top 10: Fish Scape Bowl

admin — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:12:55 +0000

A handblown fish bowl with its own underwater mountain range. A 2011 Red Dot Design Award winner in the Tableware division.

“Perceived in an innovative way, the Fishscape fish bowl wants to offer the viewer a creative alternative to the familiar sight of a conventional home aquarium. The delicate and elegant-looking glass bowl is available in different versions with surprisingly elaborate underwater landscapes. The organic-looking bulges differ in their precisely shaped details. They make the glass bottom seem to rise from the water like a mountain. A delightful play of light and shadow harmoniously completes the overall impression.”

A Hands On Salad Bowl – or Potluck 101

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:37:50 +0000

Simon Pengelly created Hands On Salad Bowl for British design house Joseph Joseph. It kind of falls under the category, Why didn’t I think of that? But then again, some of the simplest ideas are the hardest to come up with. For those of you who spend time at your children’s school potlucks – you know how often the salad servers are left behind. With this little piece of genius, that is not going to happen. Made from melamine, this bowl is beyond practical. We love it!
