The future of mass production is mass customization. Cutting up Knives is a production of selected knives, modified to become bottle openers through the application of an industrial process.Each bottle opener is individually chosen and cut. Beautiful name brand knives have been ruthlessly trans-formed, while factory rejects and second hand knives have been recycled, modified to become useful once again. Each Opener is functional and unique piece which is still connected to its own unique history.

A flexible mesh connects the posts, allowing the structure to be twisted open and rinsed. The excess water drains into a tray beneath, which can be emptied and cleaned.

This series of lights is inspired by outdoor functional devices designed to be seen from the sky. The Landmark Roof light, is inspired by signs found along roads which usually indicate milage and underground gas conduct trails. The Landmark Cone light takes its shape from the well known windsock, a simple textile tube on a pole, used to indicate wind direction. In low winds the wind sock droops and in high wind it floats horizontally, hence the articulated top of the light.

I don’t have any other words for this work but WOW! Tara Donovan rocks the installation art. From fishing wire to plastic straws, her work is stunning and will leave you asking the question–How? Donovan’s work uses everyday manufactured materials such as Scotch tape, Styrofoam cups, and drinking straws to create large scale sculptures that often have a biomorphic quality. Her sculptures must be assembled and disassembled carefully, which sometimes involve an extremely tedious process. With regards to her artistic process, Donovan explained that she chooses the material before she decides what can be done with it. She noted in an interview that she thinks “in terms of infinity, of [the materials] expanding.”

Medical heirlooms by Tamsin van Essen at galerie Sofie Lachaert (Tielrode, Belgium).
British designer Tamsin van Essen is currently displaying a series of ceramic work at the galerie Sofie Lachaert. Inspired by society’s obsession with perfection and beauty, and the fear of perceived abnormalities, van Essen’s ‘medical heirlooms’ series explores diseases and medical conditions through the manipulation of ceramic objects. Based on 17th-18th century apothecary jars, the forms have strong historical
and medical links, as well as providing the metaphor of vessel as body (syphilis / psorisasis / cancer / scars / …)
