Développé pour Tefal par l’agence Normal Studio, Toi & Moi est un appareil électroménager multifonction (raclette, grill, plancha…) destiné à la préparation de plats pour deux personnes.
Pensé sur le modèle du bentō (terme japonais désignant la petite boîte contenant un repas rapide pris hors de la maison, mais aussi un plat unique très populaire au Japon), l’appareil et ses accessoires se déploient sur la table comme un nécessaire. L’ensemble se range ensuite dans la boîte compacte, fermée par une sangle.
Les formes et couleurs de la gamme, très simples, presque « zen », sont associées à un jeu de matières tantôt mattes, tantôt satinées ou brillantes.

Photos by Simon MarkhofWith the help aerospace engineers at EADS, Somerset, UK-based Charge Bikes have refined and expanded their 3D-printed dropout production since we first came across them last August, as evidenced by a new vid from last week. However, German IDer Ralf Holleis does them one better with the VRZ 2 Track bicycle, developed under the VORWaeRTZ moniker. (Further details on Holleis's practice are scant; from what I can determine, he's connected to the equally mysterious designlab coburg.)

The Folding Chair, designed by Salom for Monstrans, was cut from a single piece of sustainable bamboo plywood. It has cut-out handles on either side for simple transport, and because it’s so thin it can be stacked...
