Check out these designs by Missoni that showcases life with DuPont’s Corian surfaces. This was an exhibit that began during Milan Design Week in April, and will continue through July 31 at the Corian Design Milano store.

This collaboration between Missoni Home and DuPont features Missoni designs in all parts of the home (with Corian of course). The photo below shows a part of a two-meter high spool that is wrapped in colorful ropes of thick yarn, located at the entrance area of the exhibit.

This next area features a curved bathroom screen with Missoni Home’s “Esmeraldas” pattern behind a freestanding tub “Po” by Boffi.

In front of the bathtub is another Missoni pattern that is structured together with strips of Corian.

There is actually much, much more to this exhibit than just these. The exhibition actually has hallway, dining room, kitchen, living room and bedroom components. All of which includes Missoni patterns made with Corian, coupled with home furnishings by Moroso, lighting by Artemide and more.

If you will be in Milan, be sure to visit the exhibit. The link to the exhibit is below.

For those of you who use the Heathrow Express, you no longer need to retrieve tickets at the ticket machines. Starting May 31, you will be able to either print your ticket at home or in the office, or even better — send the ticket directly to your phone. The ticket will be in the form of a barcode that can be scanned by the staff onboard.

Also remember, it’s always cheaper to book your ticket online. You will save £1 (approximately US$2) on a standard one-way ticket.

I saw this particular piece at the Salone del Mobile’s Salone Satellite, and loved the versatility of this piece designed by London-based silversmith Katja Bremkamp. The one pictured above was the piece that was exhibited, which is both a fork and a spoon.

In an informal, email-based exchange with Ms Bremkamp, this particular piece is part of a series of cutlery called “Foreplay”. These pieces are designed for the amuse-bouche, or small-bites typically served before the first course of meals. Tidbits are served on the oval vessel, and the diner simply slides the utensil off (spoon, fork or small shovel) to eat out of the vessel. The vessel is a replacement for the dish or plate.

Sound complicated? It’s actually not.

There is actually a stem that is at the bottom of the vessel itself that snugly fits between the prongs of the utensil or fits in the slot of the tool itself. Quite simple if you ask me.

At this time, the series is available in silver or ceramic, and is only available via custom orders directly with Ms. Bremkamp. Please click on the link below to go to her website for more information.
