stepladder

La Scala – Stepladder by Ludovic Avenel

The team of Ludovic Avenel, Christophe Bret and Emilien Marion @ Ludovic Avenel creates some extra ordinary beautiful pieces in woodworking.

I can hear some singing by just looking at this stepladder and so think the name cannot be more perfect – La Scala!

But I disagree this is not just a ladder, it certainly does not belong to a corner! I can put this piece anywhere, even use it in so many ways!

You need to check their other amazing designs here.

Pass On The Chilli

Chilliholder

Designer: Prabhat Mahapatra @ designdaku

Beware I say because I bet you have not seen anything like this ever. It was never designed before! It is a brand new product-concept.

Beware I say because it comes in a deadly combination – first the chilli, second the nourishing green chilli eating habit via the holder and thirdly this chilliholder is conspired by a design bandit (designdaku: daku means bandit in Hindi)!

Yes, if you are the one who can hear the crunch green chilli makes between the chilli lover’s teeth; if you know at least one person who loves eating chillies in your home (if you are an Indian then there must be a person in your house who loves his chilli, says so designdaku and I wholeheartedly agree!); if you are frying chillies with pakoris or having your ganthias (gujarati snack) with chillis and raw papaya then you know where to head and how to serve chillies.

Designdaku is a team of  very talented young Indian designers who believe in catalysing paradigm shifts to bring transformative solutions and products.

And let me give you a last warning – beware: while making inquiries about their designs I had a very funny and friendly encounter with these designdakus. So go on, pay them a visit here.

Products: making Everyday Life easy

water bucketCompressed water bucket by Se Xin

I was wondering if I had all these products, my life would had been easy and lot of fun!  There are these little products, these little re-designs, these small but extremely useful inventions and in fact these great concepts which can make anyone’s everyday life comfortable. These concepts have won Red Dot Concept award 2009.

When I saw this compress-able water bucket I was very excited for two reasons: first it solves problem of urban dwellers like me who has to store water in summer many a times. Second I had thought of a design similar but with material like rubber and squarish.

I envision use of this fold-able water bucket a little differently than the designer Se-xin and I want it bigger too.

Compressed Water Bucket is a large water barrel that can be gently compressed for smarter storage. It can lead to more efficient transportation too. It can save human labour as well as resources. It is made with environmentally friendly materials.
