Bianca Beneduci is not only a fun name to say over and over out loud but also a neat illustrator and animator from Dublin, Ireland. She recently worked on the Cartoon Network’s The Amazing World of Gumball and has some pretty grin-inducing Totoro scribbles in her sketchbook.

Innovation often spreads like wildfire – it is a wonder, really, that this 50-year-old design idea has not fully dowsed the flames of frustration in kitchens around the world. Instead of dedicating surface or sink area to drying dishes, it makes shelves serve a secondary purpose and lets you skip a step entirely.

Still found mainly in Northern Europe, the idea is simple: dishes are placed into a bottomless cupboard where each shelf drains down to the next level, and ultimately to waiting sinks and drains below. The effect? a marked decrease in the 30 thousand of hours spent by Finnish housewives doing dishes daily.

Brussels Herbs is a series of herb pots designed for Dutch pottery firm Elho. The designs make it both easy and fun to grow and use fresh herbs in the kitchen or on the dining table.

Each Brussels Herbs pot contains a pair of multi-blade scissors that was specifically designed for cutting herbs in small pieces to add flavour to a meal.

Currently featured in London’s KK Outlet exhibition, “Object Abuse,” this coat hook design is the result of a challenge to take an everyday object & remold, rebuild, & repurpose it to create an entirely new item while using as little additional material as possible. If you’ve ever felt an old, stiff paint brush then you know how rigid and useless they can seem. As he admired brushes in an art shop, this is precisely what inspired designer Dominic Wilcox to repurpose the tool into the appropriately named Brush Hook.
