Gorenje | Ora Ïto Kitchen

The Ora Ïto kitchen by Gorenje was nominated in the category ‘Best Domestic Appliance‘ at the Wallpaper* Design Awards 2008 that took place in London on Jan10th. Running against tough competition, it ended up on the shortlists along with the ‘L10′ Washbasin by’ Norbert Wangen for Boffi, the Heater by Plus Minus Zero and ‘Alpha’ TV by Brionvega. The winner of the category is the ‘Katamari 01’ speaker by Giyanze.

Check out more photos of the Ora Ïto kitchen in its full awesomeness at Gizmodo. Good going Gorenje!

P.S: PlusMinusZero I would so have a crush on you if I was a domestic appliance.

Plastic Bags | We Have a Problem

Joining Melbourne, San Francisco, Hong Kong and many others, China banned the plastic bag. They are now no longer free of charge at the stores and the thin little plastic bags have been banned completely. China has a serious pollution problem and this is the government’s way of encouraging the usage of cloth bags or other reusable bags. Let’s hope this action will be effective, however I am worried that charging a hardly noticeable amount won’t bring anything to the table. Hopefully I’m wrong.

China is not the only country fighting the plastic bag war. Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Rwanda are making their efforts in eliminating the plastic bag as well. The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) are ”spearheading a fast-growing campaign to remedy the crisis.” (Inhabitat) They are said to be successful and for that I’m glad.

Wood Beach

I have no idea where these platforms are or who made them, but the whole thing looks great and is very practical. A good idea on how to make use of an otherwise rugged terrain.
