Berlin-based product designer Dewa Bleisinger‘s QUAD Trivet adjusts to a handful of sizes and patterns to accommodate any size pot you place on it. It unfolds from a simple square to a large circle, making it the only trivet you’ll ever need.
It’s made from 16 wooden cubes that are connected with a silicone strip that’s hidden on the underside of the cubes. Besides being flexible, the silicone is also heat-resistant making it a safe place for your hot food.
The chunky cubes are substantial and form a variety of geometric designs to not only do its job but to also look good on the table.
Available in oiled walnut or maple wood.
Artek‘s abc Collection is made up of small, colorful household items that are easily incorporated into your home and mix right alongside the rest of Artek’s furniture collection.
The name was inspired by “the alphabet of living” and the graphically-patterned series features 20 items ranging from curtains, a soft blanket, a kitchen towel, trays, along with coasters and trivets.
Featuring Alvar Aalto’s iconic Siena fabric that was designed in 1954, it marks the first time the fabric will be used for items such as this.
Also launched at the same time were products featuring the H55 fabric that was designed by architect Elissa Aalto in 1955. The products, which include an apron, bag, pillow covers, napkins, etc., are available in the grey and white or the black and white versions.

One of the coolest current projects I have come across lately is the Crochet Coral Reef Project based in Los Angeles.

“The Crochet Coral Reef (CCR) is a project by the Institute For Figuring, a non-profit Los-Angeles based organization that pioneers creative new methods for engaging the public about scientific and environmental issues by putting people and communities at the core.”

“The CCR is a project that resides at the intersection of mathematics, marine biology, handicraft and community art practice, and also responds to the environmental crisis of global warming and the escalating problem of oceanic plastic trash. It has been exhibited in art and science museums worldwide, including the Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), The Hayward (London), the Science Gallery (Dublin), and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History (Washington D.C.) Seen by more than three million people, the CCR is one of the largest participatory science + art projects in the world.
Through its Satellite Reef program, the Institute’s team has held lectures and workshops on five continents to teach the techniques of reef-making, and the related science and math, to local communities. Since 2005 the IFF has continued to build this global network that now includes more than 7000 active citizens.” (source for text)
