Tuttobene

Umbrellas for the Civil but Discontent Man designed by Bruce and Stephanie Tharp of Materious.
"Sigmund Freud contends that aggressiveness is a fundamental human instinct whose inhibition is a necessary obligation of social life. These umbrellas combine a symbol of gentlemanly refinement--the full-sized, black umbrella--with an element from more manly sword-bearing times. The umbrellas offer brief psychological respite from the dictates of social amiability.This years edition of Tuttobene presents five international and eighteen Dutch design studio's. Objects on display vary from a cupboard made of domino, a table constructed out of garden hose, lampshades of horsehair to a porcelain computer. What these items share is the sustainable quality of their design. The common denominator is determined by its ecologically and socially sound production and use.

Carrying a book anywhere and anytime? Reading at train, airplane, hotel suite? Like to read at night? You know, people here want to sleep sometimes and you have lights on in the middle of the night. Not a surprise they yell at you every time. The problem is that you share the light. If only you had your own little one.

This is a sugar bowl that was created with the intention of working the ceramic material. The top cover reminds a cookie, and it has written in the side "One spoon; Two spoons; Three spoons…" based on the ritual of putting the sugar in the coffee or in the tea.

LED-based traffic light concept.

It requires 3 times less details than the common traffic light since it uses just one section instead of three. It also operates with just two kinds of single colored LEDs - the yellow color is a result of both red and green ones lit together.
