Dining in 2015

I was happily browsing away one day when I spotted this Design competition. Nothing new but the brief was Dining in 2015. A shortlist of entries gave me half an hour of very good entertainment. It's quite remarkle what people can come up with. You should really have a look and click on some, because the one I picked for my blog is not the most spectecular. It is however very colourfull.


Terrariums for the windowsill.

These Terrariums would look fantastic on my windowsill. And it's because I can picture myself trying to find terrariums that look like these. I would have preffered it if the round (clear glass and pink) ones had a dome that was without the bump. I like the fact that you can look inside an clearly see the plants.


Who is carring what?

Anyway on we go to this other item I spotted. A clear plastic bag with a person on it. Very funny! Cause who carries what exactly?

***** warning *** Rant *** warning *****

I'm not much into plastic bags as they are bad for the enviroment and seem to multiply when you aren't looking. Especially here in the UK. Never in my life have I seen sales people that so desperately wanted to give me a plastic bag, even with items (like bl**dy chewing gum, pens, birthday cards) that fit easily in my hand bag. It's madness I tell you. In the Netherlands you are half expected to bring your own bag and have to pay for plastic that is more durable like supermarket bags. The Sainsbury plastic bag (the orange one you buy) has a twin brother in the Dutch Albert Heijn bag, which has been around for ages! About time the UK catches up.


No excuses... clean up your mess!

And now I'm on the subject of madness. What is with trowing the trash on the street. Don't the English teach their kids that this is NOT right. Never have I seen a more poluted country when it comes to trash. I think high (and I mean very high) fines would be a very good idea here. Like £200 ($400) if you throw anything on the ground that is not biological (like an apple, or bread for the ducks). Smokers should carry one of those round pocket ashtrays to collect their sigarette buds and people should CLEAN UP THEIR OWN MESS! Common sense really!

Right rant over!
