Beautiful Sleek Irresistible Glass Water Bottle Tkaro by Kai Fejér

If you have an innate sense of wanting ‘better’, seeking ‘cleaner’, desiring ‘more’ then Tkaro is the right one for you. The name of this sleek irresistible glass bottle water is Tkaro, it was derived from the Italian word ‘kiaro’ which means ‘clear’. It’s the glass water that you take with you. Tkaro is reusable, recyclable, transportable and dishwasher safe. Some of us might think, why glass? Well, Kai Fejér designed the Tkaro glass water bottle in 2007 for the simple reason that plastics and stainless steel were not options for her in the consumption of a glass of water. Also she’s fundamentally aware of the environmental issues concerning the possible ingestion of bisphenol-A if the bottle is made out of plastic, while stainless steel bottles are reminiscent of the thermos of one’s childhood, complete with odd smells emanating from last use. Glass provides a level of cleanliness that is simply not achievable in plastics or stainless steel. Much like a typical water glass, Tkaro’s pureness of form and material allow the contents of the glass to be visible, assuring no residue and resulting in a continuously clean taste and smell; ideal characteristics of a vessel from which to consume the cleanliest of all elements, water.

It’s a beautiful product that’s designed to take life’s spills and upsets. But like all objects of beauty, it asks to be treated with respect. Treat it well and it returns the favor. Keep your Tkaro bottle from radical falls and it will serve you well for years. Designed with maximum durability and an airtight seal, Tkaro can accompany you everywhere. Its pureness of form provides an aesthetically pleasing solution for our daily water consumption on the journey to good health and a better environment since 1% of your money will be donated to save this planet.

White Apartment Interior Design in Reykjavik by Gudmundur Jonsson

First glance at the white interior really brings cold as the weather is also cold outside. And I get the idea of why the designer brings such a pale color of white towards the room. It’s because by using white the room will look and create such effect of spacious. The designer has kept the detailing to a minimum by emphasizing on planning this white small apartment interior design. The sliding glass doors between the bedroom and the living area are made out from acrylic is a smart idea. With just 52 meters square this small apartment interior design ideas is located in Reykjavik by Gudmundur Jonsson should add more senses of warmth. During the summer the white color might be great as it won’t absorb much heat but during the winter I wonder how cold and icy this room will get. I’d rather suggest adding a nature element such as wooden material slightly in kitchen area will be nice as black and white really dominates and make this room look paler.

Magnificent Cinderella’s Revenge Chandelier by Fiona Gall

This chandelier is nothing but Magical. The master mind behind this beautiful magical chandelier is Fiona Gall. The designer spoke that this it’s inspired by the haute couture shoes creation by Terry De Havilland. This influential lighting is mostly a great work of sculptural and made out of fiber optic illumination creating such echo when it’s lit on. Having the highly theatrical effect this chandelier is best fit in public places such as theatre. It’s great but I rather not recommended to be put in glass. Rumor has it that this chandelier has just been installed in the women’s shoe department at Liberty in London and will be subjected to shot for Catherine Taylor four films. In details Cinderella’s Revenge is being made out of tubular glass, metallic chain, Swarovski crystal and miniature magnifying glasses are among the details of this magnificent chandelier.

Amazing Chord Chair by Nendo

Amazing! That’s how I appreciate this Chord Chair made by collaborating with Hiroshima Prefecture manufacturer Maruni Wood Industry. Why amazing? It’s because this chair look like a usual ordinary chair but what looks unusual is that this chair has legs only 15 mm in diameter. Rather than assembling wood panel around 9mm steel frame, Nendo and others decided to hollow out pieces of wood to clad each of the frame. Since each part is only 3 mm wide, the chair must be made by hand. It liberates wood from structure, allowing the material’s natural warmth and softness to come into sharp focus, and bringing out its greatest common denominator. This is definitely a beautiful combination between materials like the metal wiring within an electrical cord and the rubber that encases it.
