I guess I should do a cross-breeding / materials section every day by the looks of things. But the truth is that I saw these on design milk and wanted to show good examples of things I slaughter. Just to prove a point that I'm not being mean.
The bottle and cup are actually made of glass. And this is incredibly clever because they take the concept in our heads of these products and what they are made out of in our daily lives. And then by mixing it with the traditional materials for such products, they are made somewhat of an icon. They are as if pieces of art rather than products.
As for the "Sweet Cake" design by Beerd von Stokkum, I think these are wonderful little things because they blur the line between the user and the product. We know these objects not to exist without cupcakes or muffins in them and thus whatever we put inside the bowl-basin-whatever-thingy becomes part of the object. Part of the design. It is as if an interaction is created and the design merely presents the object inside. Like a stand presents a piece of art. In this case though, the piece of art is Life. And do you know what? Its the biggest masterpiece of them all.
