Storing food has been one of my topics the last year. These complementary trays are by Fabio Molinas.
The heat emitting above the fridge is used to keep the fruits and vegetable warm and humid. I´m not shure if the temperature is good to keep everything fresh, but I usually believe into a designer´s research…

Sorry, it has been a while …
But the following projects brought me back to blogging.
“What is the nature of a colour and what is the connection to its physical state. Based on the ongoing research of deriving pigments from vegetables, the aim was to showcase the liquid condition of the colour before it is fixated to the medium of paper or textile. Compared to its solid condition, transparencies and volumes play suddenly an important role.
Presented in a cabinet the 130 preserved containers expose pure and mixed shades of different vegetables and different mixing ratios. This project was developed for the exhibition Dutch Domestics at the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt.”

Preserved knowledge
- What we don´t know anymore about our food:
Food is something we are confronted with every day. But the generation of today lives in a haze of ignorance when it comes to our nutrient.
Cleo Maxime de Brabander asked elderly people how they used to preserve food before the refrigerator was invented.
Did you know that lemons stay fresh if you cover their cut side with vinegar?
Or that sugar regulates the humidity of cheese, similar to rice in salt?
With this contemporary series of kitchen products, existing out of a cheese cover with space for sugar, an apple rack and a lemon dish, Cleo Maxime de Brabander wants to create awareness, educate and increase the value of our food.
During next weeks I´ll tell you more about how to store food outside the fridge!

Tableware as sensorial stimuli
Cutlery design focuses on getting food in bite-sized morsels from the plate to the mouth, but it could do so much more. The project aims to reveal just how much more, stretching the limits of what tableware can do.
Focusing on ways of making eating a much richer experience, a series of dozens of different designs has been created, inspired by the phenomenon of synesthesia. This is a neurological condition where stimulus to one sense can affect one or more of the other senses.

Perfume Tools
When Jody Kocken discovered she was allergic to perfume, she looked for solutions that would enable her to still wear a fragrance. She developed Perfume tools: a series of jewellery pieces that can be attached to the opening of a perfume bottle. The tools absorb the scent and work as fragrance diffusers that can be worn. In places where the skin is most vulnerable, the precious metal is warmed up so that the scent can travel. Any skin contact with the perfumed liquid is thus avoided.
