The faucet in your kitchen can make a big difference; it can draw the attention of your guest, put a little spark in your kitchen or completely drowns the beauty of the kitchen. The aQuatica Faucet designed by Rury Vizcarra can contribute to any of these depending on the design/theme of your kitchen. The aQuatica Faucet has been inspired by sea creatures.

This is no ordinary kitchen system, with this kitchen system you don’t have to worry about your waste staying in your garbage until it smells around the kitchen. This Okokook kitchen system  makes use of all your waste, that’s right, all of it: it re-use your solid waste, liquid waste, and even your organic waste.

For the solid waste (have no smell) such as: glass; paper; plastic; metal and miscellaneous, each of these are placed in their own bin and smashed down to minimal size. All of these items activated by hand: a steel ball, like the ball in a pinball machine, to break glass, an endless screw like a nut-cracker to compress cans and water bottles, and a manual shredder-crusher to shred paper before turning it into briquettes.

One’s own image is fragmented. Frontiers between nature and culture are blurred. It is the twist (geometric deformation) of the rectangle which reveals this nature. The plants sit in the hollow of the deformation. This basic figure can be repeated indefinitely, from object to surface and surface to object.

Yeah I know it might sound strange but think about how unique and luxurious your kitchen would look! Even though it’s just a design (for now) I think it would spice up the kitchen a little more and people would probably hand-wash the dishes more often. Just a though.

Anyway, there are some things that are unique about this sink (other than “it’s a waterfall”),like the Sink Plate Washbasin Unit and waterfall style faucet that is elegantly fitted onto the top panel. There are some things that might be troublesome, for instance, the sink plate is a steel grid. I have one suggestion; be careful with your jewelery and foreign objects.

Are you guilty of leaving irons plugged in or burning clothes when ironing? Do you just hate ironing? If you are guilty of any of these, designer Lisa Töpfer designed an ironing kit just for you.

The iron has temperature sensor which allows you to iron multiple fabric from a single setting; that means you’ll never burn another piece of garment. It also uses Lithium-Polymer-Battery-Technology for the convenience of cordless ironing so you never have to wonder “did I leave the iron plugged in?” The fordable mat can be place almost anywhere.
