A whole new world

I came across this website of a designer called Marie Louise. She graduated with a masters degree in product design from the Royal College of Art, London and now works as a freelance designer who does solo projects and commissioned work. I think her work is very interesting and wacky in a way which is something I always appreciate in a good design work - the humour. Here are some of her projects that brought a smile to my face. Oh and did I mention her products have really cool names toO?

MOP FLIP FLOP (2002)
A fun way to clean!
Material: Slippers with cotton scouring-cloth.
Dimensions (mm): size 35.

MR BRUSHY (2004)
Sit down while clean your shoes.
Material: Lacquered wood with a red brush.

NÄVER AGAIN (2005)
A stool made of plaited woolen felt.
The technique is traditionally used in Sweden to
plait birch bark but applied here at a different
scale on a different material.
Material: Lacquered plywood with felt in 100% wool.
Dimensions (mm): W700, D700, H320.

SLACKER CHAIR (2006)
‘Slacker’ adds a new flexible sitting experience
as its users have to find their own sitting position.
Material: Cast aluminium frame with a seat
made of polythene pellets in a sack of imitation leather.
Dimensions (mm): W650, D650, H900(flexible).

TABLE OF TRASH (2006)
(one of my favourites.)
A desk literally throwing itself into the waste basket.
I like the idea of visualizing the cycle of trash
and the possibility reusing trash in a constructive way.
Material: Recycled paper reused in the material
‘wellboard’consisting of a craft liner and a
corrugated cardboard in between.
The material is strong, recyclable and very light weight.
The whole table weighs only 4kg.
