A great idea from Korean industrial designer Noh Ji Hun. Feelor, a coloured pencil set to help the visually disabled recognize colours by incorporating a shape of a concrete symbol to a colour i.e. apple is red, chick is yellow, clover is green etc.

This whimsical decanter and cups set is a comical take on the western slang “Sake Bomb”. The inspiration is a juxtaposition of the Fugu (Pufferfish) and a WW II sea mine. It is available in a variety of vivid colors with a sealed matt ceramic finish. To ensure the complexity and geometric nature of the sake bomb remained true, the manufacturing process combines both high-tech modern technologies with traditional handcrafted techniques. Also available in plates and designed by Alexander Purcell founder of APRRO, an interdisciplinary design studio in Los Angeles.

This is the new sticker set that replaces the usual alphabets on your keyboard. Each letter in the alphabets on classroom banners are associated with an animal or object and because kids nowadays have become increasingly computer dependent at an early age, Christopher Monro DeLorenzo thought it was time to adapt an old method to a new medium. From cultural icons to greek mythology, this keyboard sticker set is set to please any child or even an adult.
Awesome plates by freelance designer Laurent Meurgey.

Alphabet Plates was created by a graphic designer and mom-of-three who obviously know what the little ones want. You could customize your plate to look like your child, has his/her name or monogram on it or even to reflect one of their interests or favourite food. Alphabet Plates are molded using a thermalset melamine compound that has been used in dishes for over 50 years. They are BPA (Bisphenol-A) free, break resistant but are not microwave-safe.
