Milan

Here are my personal highlights from my brief encounter with the Milan Design Week 2011

Diederik Schneemann has recycled bundreds of old flip-flops into new objects

The sun made my glasses.
This glass sphere harnessed the heat of the sun's rays and concentrated them into one place and was enough to cut through a thin piece of slowly moving MDF which was moving in the pattern of a pair of sunglasses. Maybe you should look here

If I had to choose a favourite display from this year, these food utensils and bowls would be it. They're made from orange peel using 'Microwave technology'!!

I love this design for bookshelves, especially if you have some you rather weren't on public display..

These hanging plant holders were impressive even if this lady doesn't seem to think so.
