Bamboo may be accepted as a material for the furniture on the porch of your luxury lodge in Indonesia but that is about as far as we want to integrate it into our lives – until now that is. Naturally stain resistant, available in a series of rich, warm tones and equipped with a tensile strength superior than some grades of steel, this humble plant is starting to widen its appeal.

The Vapor – Steamer Insert is a folding cookware accessory for steaming food in a standard saucepan. Its removable, push-down/twist-off handle keeps a cook’s hands from heat and allows the steamer to remain in a covered pan. The perforated silicone membrane, molded over a steel skeleton, is easy to clean and collapses like an umbrella to fit in a kitchen utensil drawer.

Drinking tea is a special time. Unlike coffee, where things are rushed at a breakneck speed, drinking tea is a time of introspection, and meditation. It is personal, spiritual and ceremonial. The Zygo teapot draws on these qualities to enhance the tea experience. The delicate yet sturdy ceramic frame embraces the stainless steel sphere in an engaging juxtaposition of form, surface, and material.

The aim of Lucifer is to reduce the steps to light on a match. It’s easier to get fire from a lighter than from a match but a match is more practical (try to light on a candle in a pot with a lighter, you’ll burn your nails). To take a match, you turn upside down Lucifer, and once the match wood is outside, the match’s head will be jammed by the grater, pull the match to strike it on the orange grater part.

The Muji Coffee Maker’s starting point is its landscape of use. Its form is a perfect cylinder, making the product non-directional something that has not been done previously. This allows it to sit well in a corner of a kitchen or equally in the center of a table, and was achieved by technically by ‘wrapping’ the water reservoir around the filter. The coffee pot is made of vacuum stainless steel.
