I’ve been thinking about how to create a fresh approach in my own kitchen recently, so it’s no surprise that I was extremely excited to see the work of Produce to get some inspiration of what my kitchen could be. Their work, as shown in their pot and knife rack, wall bins, and wine rack have a thread that ties their work together perfectly. Clarity, simplicity, and a juxtaposition of rugged wood mixed with slender steel profiles dominate their design aesthetic. It got me thinking, ” What if I got rid of my boring old cabinetry and replaced them with these bins?” It would really open up the kitchen while creating a very unique spatial character. I’m hooked.

Etienne Meneau has made what I find to be a design that is baffling in its construction and absolutely jaw dropping in its presentation. Alright, you may be saying to yourself. It’s just a really cool decanter. But how did he do this? Granted, I know nothing of glass construction, so maybe it’s really easy to take these multiple branches of glass, stick them together, and make it exactly the size to hold a bottle of wine. I doubt it’s that easy to construct, though. It would seem to me that this enophile’s sculpture would take long planning, and nimble hands to construct, and the form is quite pleasing.
