Biodegradable Utensils


Graft is a set of biodegradable utensils that take on the textures and colors of vegetables. Chinese designer Qiyun Deng makes Graft from a renewable resource-based bioplastic. The result is quite beautiful.








Cork Animals


Korean designers, conte bleu, have created these cool little cork displayers that are meant to act as memorials to special events. They even include an area on the animal's "shadow" to write down the date and occasion. Very clever.
