By simply dressing these vegetables in knit sweaters, Calgary Farmers Market is able to tell viewers that their market is open through the cold months too. Very well thought out, very well executed, I can see how this ad campaign could remind people to shop year ‘round at their fresh farmers market.
Currency changes hands so many times in a day, but do you ever really take the time to see the details? This set of coins was designed to form a shield when assembled together. The simple, smooth, structured design is very elegant. I like the idea of making coins something you don’t just cram in your pocket, but something worth displaying as artwork.
Work on this scale usually is done by jewelers and fine artists but, in this case, it is the work of culinary artisan Stephanie Kilgast. These thimble-sized works of art would be a trick-of-the-eye if not for scale references such as coins, matches and fingers to show their actual size. Great detail and creative vision went into creating these tasty works of art.
I thought this Wheel of Nutrition Plate is pretty funny. So, then I looked to see if ensuring the proper portion size was a big enough problem that someone would need to use an illustrated, color-coded surface to lay out their food. I guess some people do.
There are few means by which people have found to tell time. Then there are the many ways that people have created to display time. This Aspiral Clock is a very unique approach to showing the time of day, and dizzying at that. As time marches forward, this spiral clock slowly turns, appearing to advance a rolling ball until it reaches the 12 o’clock hour and begins all over again. Clever.
Did you know that sticky rice was used in the design of ancient Chinese and Tibetan architecture? Using the glutinous properties of rice in their mortar, they were able to preserve tombs, pagodas and city walls, all of which have withstood the test of time. I can not imagine the number of earthquakes the rice-fortified structures have endured since first introduced during the Ming Dynasty!
These are images from a collection of 52 amazing displays of creative food art. Great detail and creative thinking went into the making of these narratives in food, and you won’t be sorry if you take the time to see the other 48!
Bodum, known for its innovative product design around the kitchen, has ventured outdoors. Onto the patio to be exact. This new line of FRYKAT picnic grills are as simple as can be, and they come in a variety of vibrant colors.
These double walled ice buckets are an example of timeless product design, with a splash of color and a see-through design.
Tea For One, this all-in-one glass and strainer has just enough color to show off the product while displaying the tea inside.
Food-on-the-go doesn’t have to come in a wrapper. Take a look at this lidded container with nesting knife and fork set. Seems to be a pretty unique way to take your meal with you on the go.
Look once, keep walking, look back, keep walking. Can you see the face in the rails? Creative points for whoever found the time and technique to execute this artwork on the rails of a fence.
