Funnel Vase
By Roger Arquer
« Funnel Vase (2010) is a ceramic flower vessel with a side opening in a funnel shape. The funnel helps to change the water without having to remove the flowers. The old water can be easily poured out through the funnel and replaced with fresh water, without a mess. »
Funnel Vase is currently on show at an exhibition called Translations during the London Design Festival
ReCycle Me
“ReCycle Me” is a fold-up plastic city bike project. Created using only recycleable moulded plastic, its potential impact on the environment is minimal. It features a single gear system for all you new-age bikers and those with no money for maintenance and a dynamo for powering the lights. Then using the full advantage of injection moulding technology, the bike has front, rear, and inbuilt seat suspensions.
Easily folded and reduced down in size for ease in traveling and storing away in the closet, right next to your bike helmet.
ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET! Please and thank you!

Anthony Roussel Jewelry
Award winning Artist and Designer, Anthony Roussel creates beautiful intricate sculptural jewellery inspired by the epic sweep of the British coastline and a passion for modern architecture. Roussel applies delicate flowing lines and sweeping curves, meticulously layering sheets of wood into sinuous forms. His fascination with the repetitive linear patterns found within geological rock formations is echoed in his technique. Essentially he builds flat elements into fluid structures.
Although formally trained in traditional metalwork, he discovered his real love for materials in wood after being introduced to working with various species by a violin maker. Roussel pushes jewellery as an Art form, seeing the body as a veritable canvas. The jewellery he creates function as sculptural objects as well as wearable pieces of body adornment in their own right.
As well as his work’s instantly recognisable aesthetic, Roussel quickly became known for his skilled marriage of new technologies with traditional materials and cutting-edge design. Through the form of 3D modeling software and digital production, he embraces avant-garde processes whilst still preserving hand craft and good workmanship. A challenging statement upon what is possible in progressive jewellery design.
Roussel is a conscientious maker who’s work is bold in nature yet delicate in appearance. With the use of wood, he questions the traditional notions of preciousness, in using new technologies as a tool, he challenges existing perceptions of craft.

Wire chair
Outlines were the theme of this collection by Nendo. Slight black lines like the traces of sketches drawn in the air made transparent surfaces and volumes appear, which we assigned practical functions. The outlines remained after simplifying paintings of plants and animals. They are condensed expressions of meaning, similar to Japanese calligraphy. The designs gently break the relationship of before and behind, and traverse at times the space between two and three dimensions. Multi-faceted and constantly morphing, they move alternately between the becoming and collapse of form.
The new collection by Nendo will be exhibited in London from 20th September at the Saatchi Gallery.
