Design + Prosthetics

Francesca Lanzavecchia (Proaesthetics Supports collection)

Some interesting opportunities where design and fashion and biomimicry can help people feel more whole when they have a physical disability. These are some beautiful designs that help give the user/wearer confidence.

India: Leaf Bowls

A couple of weeks ago, some of my classmates and I saw the webinar by IDSA Design for the Majority Section called “Subtle Technologies: What I’ve Learned in India About Design" by Larry Hoffer.



Loffer gave an example of recycling and reuse: pressed leaf bowls. These are found on train platforms, and fall apart shortly after being soaked with the Indian food in the bowl. After use, the bowls are thrown on the ground and eaten by the roaming cows on the streets, which results in fertilizing manure.

So why do we use paper bags+styrofoam containers+napkins+plastic utensils when we are going to just spend 15 minutes eating? I think this is why a lot of people eat over the sink. Also, I think this is one of the beauties of street food everywhere.

Anything Design

This brand, Anything Design is a collaboration between UK designer Michael Sodeau and Japanese company Suikosha, where they have a collection of stationary products. The design is clean and focuses on functionality and space.

I like how the products all appear to be grounded and stable. They also have completely different characters in terms of their proportions, but are still a family of form.

The Cute Factor, A Strong Marketing Angle

Behold, the power of cute advertising. You'd be amazed at how effective this is.
