Watermelon-Inspired Design
(08 April 2009) - A few cheeky watermelon-themed products we happened upon recently got us thinking about the summer fruit as a source of design inspiration. While George Nelson's iconic modernist clock ($335 from Pure Modern) is a restrained nod to the melon's oblong shape, most of what's out there appeals to the pink, black and green colorway and the contrast of the exterior rind to the flesh....

Switch Carbonated Juice
(13 October 2008) - There are few things as refreshing as a cold fruit soda. Switch is a new brand and an answer to the majority of so-called fruit sodas that are heavy on soda but light on the fruit. Sweetners like high-fructose corn syrup, aspartame, artificial colors and preservatives add a lot of multi-syllabic additives that you really don't want to be pouring down your gullet. Enter...

Light Fruit
(21 August 2007) - Last time we checked money still doesn't grow on trees, but now lights do. Designed by Nick Foley, this hand-forged hollow steel tree bears three removable pear-shaped lights that are held on with a rare earth magnet. An integrated circuit charges the 10 LEDs inside each pear for portable use. After harvesting, the lights provide over an hour of itinerant light. No word yet...

Two New Mixers
(02 May 2007) - Historically frowned upon as cheap imitations for those who can't mix their own, two new mixers help remove the stigma by making delicious concentrates using high-quality ingredients.

ripeSense
(23 December 2004) - ripeSense sensor changes color by reacting to the aroma released by fruits as they ripen. The ripeSense packaging protects the fruit while in transit—and there is no longer a need for shoppers to squeeze and feel ‘is it ripe yet’, once the sensor reaches the desired ripeness level, you can just pop it in the ’fridge to slow down the ripening process. How long...
