Knives by Edge of Belgravia
British company Edge of Belgravia launched two knife collections at Home 2012, the new homeware and interior accessories show in London that just took place. The Ceramic Series, geared to discerning home chefs, are lightweight with exceptionally sharp ceramic blades made from zirconium oxide, and they’ll stay sharp for years without needing to be sharpened. The collection comes in two colorways: all black and black blades with lime rubber handles. Interestingly, the collection takes cues from the art world in more than just aesthetics: each piece forms part of a limited edition series of 999 pieces.
Port Living Co.
Jordan Castro and his family-owned business Port Living Co. create eco-friendly kitchen and home designs in concrete, recycled marble dust, cork, aluminum and rubber. Based in Newburyport, Massachusetts, the small company spent over a decade perfecting the concrete mixes to make them both functional and beautiful. Each piece is one of a kind and cast in a handmade mold to cure for about week. They are then burnished by hand and finished with two coats of carnauba wax.
Pictured above are the large Hexagon Pattern Concrete Coasters.
Lazy Linda Kitchen Organizer
Dutch design company Royal VKB has recently launched the Lazy Linda Kitchen Organizer. It was created by British designer Simon Wilkinson to hold all of the kitchen utensils we use on a daily basis. The container features two levels, the tall one to store long-handled items like spatulas and spoons and a low level that is perfect for smaller items like toothpicks, thermometers and spices.
Avril Loreti
Love the kitchen textiles of Avril Loreti. From the houndstooth tea towels to the paint chip placemats, her pieces are a great way to add a splash of color – and fun – to your table.
2011 Year in Review: Best of Interior Design
From the details that distinguish a space, like a set of wholly original stairs to a cleverly executed thematic design (think pirates) to some very personal projects (yup, House Milk), the design of residential and commercial interiors are as important as the overall architecture. After all, it’s the area you’re actually in. In case you’ve missed any of Design Milk’s myriad of interior design posts, or if you just feel like a refresh, here are the top ten of the year.
When Life Throws You a Curve Ball, Make Lemonade
Design Milk’s own Jaime and Jordan had lots of projects planned for the first six months of new home ownership. And the they found out they were having a baby. Suddenly, designing a nursery took precedence! Since then Little Milk has arrived, and she’s happy as can be in the finished room!
Modern Dish Racks
As you know, we’re knee-deep in a kitchen renovation, currently waiting for our tile to arrive. One of the things we desperately hate looking at is our ugly dish drying rack / drainer. Despite having a dishwasher, we still often find ourselves hand-washing some dishes, so we still need a drying rack. Did you know there are modern dish drying rack options out there? I had no idea until I started doing some investigating. Here are some of the great ones I found — which one would you choose?
Above is one of my favorites – Black + Blum’s High&Dry rack.
Vase Mills by Slice
Designed by Scot Herbst, the Salt Vase Mill and one Pepper Vase Mill dispenses from the top to keep your table free from residue.
Squeezers Salt and Pepper
Flip & Tumble, best known for their reusable grocery bags that fold up into tiny balls, has released a unique set of fun salt and pepper shakers in the form of flexible silicone balls.
Cake In A Bowl
Guy Benadon designed a series of three melamine bowls, each associated with different cake recipes. The recipes are inserted into the bowl – the concept is to insert and measure the ingredients in the bowl in the order in which they appear on the marks inside. It’s kind of a no-brainer way of whipping up a quick dessert using one simple product.
