wake up alarm For who donot drink water

24/08/2007 DesignFlute 3 Comments

This wake up alarm makes you drink water! The earlier you want to wake up more you have to drink.

This ‘wake up alarm’ is a calibrated carafe that measures the amount of water to drink before going to bed.

This is James McAdam‘s quirky way to make all of us healthy!

Intruders beware!

This cherry and steel table is for paranoid security seekers.

A ‘safe bedside table’ for the people who admit and for the people who donot admit that they need some kind of self defence while sleeping.

Here is a club as table leg and top as a shield!

James McAdam is a designer based in UK, (London).

Indian furniture and decor market is at the moment filled with imported(foreign) goods or Chinese stuff. To find a true Indian designer who has merged tradition and need to modern day design is a very difficult task.

So when I found designer Krishnakumar’s site I was excited. Why? You can see for yourself.

Penholder
He describes his products as:
combination of warm and cold material which is very characteristic of Indian craft products.

Not only he has designed these warm wood winners he has also experimented with palm leaves. Using natural dyes he has got these amazing effects.

Krishnakumar’s wearables are also techno delights.
