Bompass and Parr: Ouija Board tea towels
The cult food architects Bompas & Parr, famed for their spectacular culinary adventures, have had a life-long enthrallment with all things occult; for the recent exhibition at the Arts Gallery - Heavens to Murgatroyd! - they're aiming to revive the ultimate 19th century parlour game, the Ouija board.
They have designed the limited edition Ouija board tea towel to "unite the domesticity of the humble tea towel with the supernatural functionality of a spirit key board, making the ability to communicate with the undead available to every home".

Kranen/Gille light bulb for Lux Craft
'The creative duo's work applies various craft processes and disciplines such as wood, marble, fabric and glass. Their work for Lux Craft will consist of a light bulb cast in plaster, which starts its life when cracked open. The underlying concept is that the light bulb and fixture are inextricably linked as they are one entity, and not replaceable.' (text & images Lux Craft)

Theurel & Thomas by Anagrama: A shop dedicated to French Macaroons
"Theurel & Thomas is the first pâtisserie in Mexico specialized in French macarons, the most popular dessert of the French pastries.
For this project it was very important to create an imposing brand that would emphasize the unique value, elegance and detail of this delicate dessert. "
.....I love the way the designers left the colors of the pastries stand out. As usual, I love that everything is left to be white and simple.
