Unlike other food processors, Blend has no cables, no charging stations and no messy attachments. As its name suggests it is an essential tool for everyday kitchen tasks without any unneccssary extras. The hole at the top and no cable means it can be stored with all your other kitchen utensils on hooks or in a drawer. The 3 part cordless design makes it easy to clean, charge and incredibly convenient to use anywhere in the kitchen.

Sprout is a terracotta dish used for growing and harvesting microgreens such as cress, flax and chai at home on your table all year round. Unlike other growing methods that use soil, seed uses the natural properties of terracotta to absorb water and slowly feed the seeds. The concentric circular pattern that is inspired by ploughed fields also helps the seeds create there own growing medium. Each dish is produced by hand in Switzerland at Potsfink.

As contemporary workplaces continue to transform, recent events have accelerated the shift to a more remote working culture, with more people using shared workspaces and now increasingly working from home. This project aims to create a functional, everyday work chair that is versatile enough to fit these flexible work and living spaces.
Shift is designed around a new production and distribution model that aims to make quality and sustainable furniture accessible to everyone. It is flat-packed, purchased online and its parts are easy to replace or recycle.
