macef design award 2004 : results title: - # : 233 nicolas chambon from uk ---  designer's comment: THE common crystal carafe goes with ideas of purity, eternity of water. It hides that to reach our tap water follows a long way from extraction to reprocessing, filtering, refining, to be drinkable. My prototype and its security label act like a "reminder" or metaphor of what water really is. On the opposite of crystal, the composite structure (silicone reinforced with glass fibres) makes it soft .It is shock resitant and not afraid of getting crushed in a small kitchen cupboard. Moreover, glass fibre fabrics impregnated with transparent silicone add visual textile effect. --- H2O - back to the index page - ---  ------- monthly designboom newsletter ------- ------- ? comments and contact us ? -------
