Cooking with Design: Farfalloni by Monkey Business

 

Like every Friday returns the column Cooking with Design and the protagonist of today are Farfalloni the silicone potholders by Monkey Business with the shape of the homonymous Italian pasta.
Farfalloni are two fun yellow heat-resistant pot holders to handle pans with  hot handles.
Useful idea with a special design that combines originality and practicality and leading in our kitchen a touch of beauty and irony.
I recommend not confuse them with real farfalloni pasta otherwise you could cook them in the pot!
Good weekend my dear design lovers!

Come ogni venerdi ritorna la rubrica Cooking with Design e il protagonista di oggi sono le presine in silicone Farfalloni di Monkey Business ovviamente con la forma dell'omonima pasta.

Makastool, la seduta a forma di macaron

Do  you know the famous macarons? These colorful French sweets  inspired the Makastool, the fun stools born from the intuition of Li-Ving, the design studio founded by Antonio Lauriola, Nicola Troiano and Vito Vero.
When I saw for the first time Makastool, I immediately thought to dedicate it a post and so, I discovered that behind this cute colored stool, there is a complete design studio that deals with the creation, implementation and sale of handcrafted self-produced design pieces of furniture .
Makastool are available in two different heights and in different shades: purple, chocolate, lime green, blue, lemon yellow ...
The Makastool are completely handcrafted in all its components, from the legs in ash to the seat covered in leather or microfibre.
And you which Makastool choose? Chocolate, pistachio, violet, vanilla!

Avete presente i rinomati macarons? Questi colorati dolcetti francesi hanno ispirato i Makastool,  le divertenti sedute nate dall'intuizione di Li-Ving
