Pringles can improved with Bloom Chips

The Pringles can is a design failure. When you put your whole hand in it you only get three chips out in it’s entirely. When you shake the chips into the beginning of the tube you’re taking a risk at receiving a chippy lap dance.

The Bloom Chips can solves these problems. The can, that won a RedDot Design Award, unfolds like a flower in the morning sun when the paper sleeve comes off, creating a serving bowl.

Love It! - The conversation starter

Photo & Text ©EverydayCharlie

I didn’t get it. At DMY Berlin ‘11 there was some kind of bowlingalley with witty designed little card figurines that where lying down on the floor. At the start of the ally was placed a cube with text projected on it and next to the track was a man standing proud as a peacock but shy as a mouse. I asked if I could take some pictures (normally a great way to start a conversation with shy designers) he just said: ‘Yes’ and I did so..

Back in Holland I took the opportunity to check out the meaning of the whole deal and found out that it is just lovely. The little card man and women are conversation starters and the aim of the project is to share a love for design with both the audience and participants of the DMY festival. Love it (< the name of the project) is a well designed parlour game by Jerzy Tchórzewski. It’s an invitation for interaction in analogue and digital form. While the project makes use of QR codes, a multimedia projection and a network application, it also encourages the most approachable form of contact: by playing cards.
