Saving Water



A single person or a couple can dry and store dishes in this simple refined bamboo rack after breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its part of the kitchen furniture. It cuts the need to use the dishwasher.


Too Good to Be True Story



Monday was a beautiful clear day at Coney Island. While walking on the beach and telling stories we started searching for a diamond ring, the one left behind last summer by a distraught soul upset by her lover. We didn't find it. That night my sister and I went to see Two Lovers at the 69th Street Cinema. The film was made in Brighton Beach, right in the same spot where we had been in afternoon. Its a disjointed story about a sad guy buffeted by his feelings for two women. In the final scene, he ends up on the boardwalk, with a diamond ring which he throws down on the sand while he contemplates how to end it all.

Finally he picks it up and takes it with him, but I'm sure there is another one there somewhere.

Thinking in Context

What we use integrates with where we live. In the proper context, a product will seamlessly explain its function. The yellow lines on the edge of steps help steer our way. Without realizing it we rely on them to help us navigate.

I love a plain white paper cup, anonymously it enhances the rich color of the coffee and hence the flavor.
