Advances in Tableware

Designer Omid Sadri has taken the simple dish of Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) and elevated it to an art form with his dish set. Each layer of the dish contains ingredients which complete the meal as unstacked. See it in action after the jump.

U Get Inspired, U Build It, U*Shelf It!

Here is a neat shelving concept by Benjamin Peter Design. The U*Shelf is made from high-density expanded polystyrene which is lightweight and strong; pieces fit together like a puzzle.  This design concept encourages the user to create various setups for storage.  Easy to change it up if you get bored with it.  I like that!

Shock the neighbors with new Garage designs

Tired of boring old garage doors rather than painting them this summer - add a new graphic billboard to the surface. They attach easily by velcro to the edges of the garage door (the standard up and over style) then trim the edge to fit. Made by style-your-garage.com they are available in single and multi-door designs and ship worldwide.

Lifestyle Blog v. 2.0

Many people have asked us over the past 2 years why we don’t post to our blog as much as we did initially.  Quite frankly, we’ve all been so busy growing PureModern that there has been little time left to find and share fun stuff with our customers and readers.  Additionally, the blog went through an identity crisis. We weren’t sure whether or not to make the blog a platform to announce new products, promote other companies, or just use it for the occasional company press release.  So, after some thought—We’ve decided “D”, all of the above.  Moving forward, we’ll update our blog daily with everything from the newest products available at PureModern.com, interesting finds online or at trade shows, company information, and posts of things everyone at PureModern just finds bizarre and fun!  We’re excited that our baby finally has a purpose in life and will continue to evolve over the coming months!  Thanks to everyone who’s encouraged us to get posting again—we’re all looking forward to sharing our individual perspective on design & lifestyle.

Never Buy Another Staple!

Take the green movement into your home office with Made by Humans’ Eco-Stapler. This modern marvel attaches up to 4 pages with no waste or metal staples needed. How? It simply cuts a tiny strip into the page and folds onto itself. Cool!

image

It’s the perfect travel stapler for students or office use. The only problem now is what to do with that scary old claw staple-remover.
