A Date With Wine by George Lee

George Lee has designed a wine stopper with a twist. In trying to keep his design modern with a bit of an industrial look, the stopper is made from a food-grade stainless steel and silicone. The main feature of this device is that it comes with adjustable date rings which help users remember when they have opened their bottles of wine, allowing them to decide whether or not their wine is still drinkable.

Ego Cup and Saucer by Stefan Lindfors for Iittala

Ego’s original design is striking. The cups are designed for every type of tea and coffee drink. Available in three sizes from espresso to coffee mug to a large breakfast cup. The saucers have no rim so they can also be used as plates. The generous size of the handle fits every hand, and the cup is ergonomically designed so that fits the natural shape of the hand.

Ethanol Fueled Fireplace by Ilkka Suppanen for Iittala

Made from stainless steel and heat-resistant glass, Fireplace is a modern take on an open fire. Finnish designer Ilkka Suppanen has taken the age-old idea of an open fire in the wilds, tamed it, and brought it inside, to create an environment where people can gather to chat and enjoy an evening together or where somebody can relax alone and put the worries of the day behind them. The design very much reflects Suppanen’s architectural leanings.

“Today’s televisions often play a similar role to that of the fires of the past, bringing people together to tell their stories and listen to those of others. I took this idea of the fire as an archetypical phenomenon as my startingpoint – and ended up designing something with a very minimalist form of its own,” Suppanen explains, “The piece is very neutral until the flame is lit, only then does it come alive and take its place in a space and capture people’s attention.”

Unlike your ordinary built-in fireplace this gem is portable, just as easy to use in any room or even outside in the garden or terrace on a long summer evening.
