Yesterday I did a post on kitchen designs and today its only a part of kitchens but a very important part, the cooker hood or extractor. That thing that’s usually ugly, boxy and noisy with a little added light to try to offset all the down sides, but does it have to be that way? [...]

COOKING UP A STORM

27 May 2011 by Matthew

We have done a few posts in the past on kitchens but I found Valcucine and just really loved the designs, modern but not fashionable designs.

PERFUME BOTTLES

26 May 2011 by Matthew

Last week I looked at a couple of package designs, a vodka bottle and a cask wine, this got me searching other neat bottle usage that most people will touch and the most expressive is the perfume or aftershave bottle.
