Square Water Melons

Friday, August 4th, 2006

A British Supermarket (undisclosed at the moment but I suspect Jamie Oliver may well be advertising them soon) has announced the introduction of square Water Melons later this year. The Brazilian growers place the fledgling fruit into clear boxes which restrict and shape the final ripe fruit. According to the (slightly biased) spokesman for the […]

Flat pack cups!

Monday, February 6th, 2006

I seem to remember these guys appearing on the Dragons Den on BBC2 a couple of months ago. I though the idea was cool then but the ‘Dragons’ were not interested. It’s good to see Orikaso up and running and in full production. They specialise in a range of flat pack cups, plates and bowls […]

Escargo Timer

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

This is the stuff I like, a kitchen timer that gradually creeps its way along the counter in it’s snail-like design. No idea on price or stockists, but hey it’s cool!

50’s Style Fridges

Friday, January 13th, 2006

SMEG have released these 50’s inspired designed in their fridge range. The FAB range feature the sleek lines associated with the 50’s but with today’s expected technology (Energy rating A etc). The designs would not look out of place in Arnolds Diner with the Fonz grabbing a beer from it’s chilled depths!

Bowie goes porcelain!

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

Another instant classic from Messer Paul Smith. A damn funky set of six plates featuring none other than David Bowie. Available from the Paul Smith website for a mere £350 for the set. I strongly recommend purchasing a set as anything touched by the hand of Mr Smith is sure to become instantly collectable.

The Wine Thermometer

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

Menu have this little lovely available. A wrap-around thermometer for your wine bottle so your favourite tipple is always at optimal temperature for consumption. I’m not too sure on how effective it is as I suspect that it measures the temperature of the bottle, not the wine (I would be very impressed if it measured […]

Eva Solo carving set

Friday, October 21st, 2005

I really like the look of this carving set from the folks at Eva Solo. Manufactured in asian blade steel it seemlessly flows from handle to blade and prongs. Another classic item for the kitchen.

Lazy Boy II

Especially for those moments that cutting your own soldiers is too damn much effort, up comes some enterprising soul with a toast soldier cutting machine!

Honeycomb Kitchen hob

Friday, September 23rd, 2005

Designed and manufactured by Kuppersbuschusa this is something really different in the kitchen worktop market. The ceramic glass electric hob sits flush to the worktop and due to the honeycomb design, the arrangements of the individual hobs is endless. Brace yourself for the price though, the control unit itself costs $1750 and the hobs are […]

Lazy boy pizza eating!

Thursday, September 15th, 2005

This may not be the best looking gadget ever but hell, if it makes the pizza to mouth time quicker and less messy then I’m all for it.
