Wig
Sometimes concept pieces have a way of breaking your heart when they aren’t available for sale. I’m crazy for Wig, a white ceramic vase by Tania de Cruz that allows the user to create insanely artistic headdresses through the placement of florals and greenery.

Bread Spoons
These bread spoons from Niels Datema are only a concept, but they have massive amounts of potential. Who doesn’t love fresh bread? I, for one, am a little too intimidated to try baking it myself. The idea behind these spoons might help with that, just fill each one with the ingredient it’s labeled after then knead. Kinda of brilliant, yes?

Bottle Humidifier
Though this winter has been so mild, my skin has been ridiculously dry. It was suggested (after copious amounts of moisturizing) that I get a humidifier to add some extra moisture into the air. The thing is… most are hideous. At least most that I can actually afford. My ideal would be something like this Bottle Humidifier designed by cloudandco. It’s the perfect mix of form and function, and wouldn’t look the slightest bit ridiculous when not in use. (via core77)

Dervish
Philippe Malouin Design’s Dervish lamp/fan concept would be a pain to dust, but what a showpiece. Can you guess what the inspiration behind it was? That’s right, a carwash. (via core77)

Roll + Mix
Join the two halves of the Roll & Mix together and they form a rolling pin, separate them and you have a mortar to grind things and a bottle to hold oil. Multi-functional design, I so get you.

Tulip Spaghetti Fork
Forget the polite fork-with-tablespoon way of eating spaghetti, check out this conceptual project – the Tulip Spaghetti Fork. So much more elegant and refined.

Pup Tent
Pup Tent is a teepee-shaped structure designed by Slade Architecture that’s constructed out of water-jet cut laminated layered plywood. There are openings in the front for access and on the top for air circulation and a little bit of light. Not only do I hope these will one day be available for purchase, I also hope there are different sizes. Piper would love it.

Break Soap
Break Soap by Dave Hakkens is some kind of brilliant. Natural hand soap is formed into a block with different sized pieces, the dirtier your hands are the bigger the piece you break off. And since you don’t ever touch the entire block, everything is kept nice and hygienic. One block equals roughly ninety hand washes.
