OK, now what do I do with this?

designboom has an article on a natural and organic cocoa drink product that is produced by the Bribri women of Talamanca, Costa Rica. The "hockey puck" sized patties, which actually don't look that promising on initial inspection, are actually 100% cocoa with no sugar or anything else added.

 

You use a little grater, which also acts as a stirrer, to grate up the blocks and add hot water to make the drink.

fuseproject spotted the opportunity and realised that all it need was a design kick to get it going, so designed the little sack that the patties come in, the logo and the little grater. The project is designed to raise awareness of organic cocoa production and hence help save the rainforest.

This bicycle wine rack will allow you to go on the road with your wine (or I suppose nip to the shop to pick up a bottle). Mind the bumps now!

1978 Airstream by Matthew Hofmann

I often have this fantasy in my head (where else could fantasies live?) that I run away and live in a camper van or get suddenly rich and become a full time artist and use an Airstream caravan as a studio. Of course it is always immaculately furnished inside like this example of a refurbished one from 1978.

Interesting take on recycling, creating repurposed clothes out of military clothing and equipment. Like army surplus but with design! I like the officers jacket, the cap and the penknife. Oh and the duffel bag.

Quite liking the almost Army aesthetic on this fixed gear collapsible bike from Freeman Transport back in 2008 (web site now looks a bit deserted).

Made out of plastic so when you cut the cake it doesn't leave marks on the platter! And of course it's green.
