Up-cycling at it's best!

I just came across an incredible tweet by 'Metamorphic Gear' that illustrates an incredible way to up cycle plastic bottles. This video really makes you think about what we take for granted and how something as simple as an item we discard everyday can brighten up someones life.Innovative, smart, artistic and functional! are the 4 words that pop into my mind when I saw this.





If you have seen any other ingenious ways to up-cycle plastic bottles feel free to share and let me know.

Flexible Leaf Dishes

I simply had to post about these technologically advanced leaf dishes by Nao Tamura . Fun, flexible, stackable, rollable, and microwave/oven safe, what more do you want?

My only question about this product is whether it is sustainable and eco-friendly? Other than that I love how the design takes nature as its inspiration—Biomimicry, and how it continues the age-old tradition of wrapping food in leaves (grape and banana leaves)

Made out of silica sand, each dish looks and replicate the appearance of a large leaf.
