Popcorn Monsoon by Jolene Carlier
Popping Fantastic
Jolene Calier, who has just graduated from the Bachelor course at the Design Academy Eindhoven, has a background in graphic design, which is why her projects always start with illustrations in her trademark bright, bold and jovial style. The Popcorn Monsoon popcorn maker is an attempt to translate one such illustrations into a real product. The result is a beautifully sculptural and functional object which reflects the fun and excitement that popcorn-making brings. Willy Wonker would surely approve.

Terrazzo Things from Lick My Brick
There was a time when the use of marble was largely restricted to floors, posh kitchen counters and grave statutes. And then, at some point around the mid-noughties, marble was everywhere. Could the same be happening to terrazzo?
Geometric Inspirations by John Eric Byers
American artist-designer John Eric Byers cites, amongst others, Donald Judd and Richard Serra as sources of his inspiration. The influence of these American masters of minimalism are clear to see from the furniture he has created.
