AZEdesign Messy Tablecloth by Ami Kealoha
A response to the dying tradition of home-cooked meals, Polish firm AZEdesign's Messy Tablecloth embraces the drips, spills and general lack of orderliness that's naturally a part of sitting down to eat. By outlining the disarray on the fabric with embroidery thread, they create a "pattern of situation," complete with thread loops of wine spilling off the edge. (Click image for detail.) Unfortunately, it appears that award-winning linen is not yet in production.

Hidebumi Yamaguchi: IMAnoWa

The concept, to encourage users...
