Diane Von Furstenberg: Faceless
Diane Von Furstenberg's 'Faceless' campaign is so amazingly surreal. I adore it.

BioLite
"Is it a portable stove or a gadget charger? How about both. The BioLite ($130) is a compact, portable stove that burns sticks, twigs, pine cones, and other renewable resources instead of petroleum gas, lighting quickly and bringing water to a boil in no time. In addition, it packs a USB port on the front that draws its power from the heat of the fire, letting you charge your phone, GPS, or LED lights miles from the nearest outlet." - Uncrate.

The Lunchbox
Tiffin Proportions
Dabba means lunchbox in Hindi and is inspired by the Dabbawallas of Mumbai. This ingenious design aims at making you choose healthy food options and pack a balanced meal for work. Each box displays a food icon and is sized to keep portions in check. I love the combination of bamboo and silicon used, and if things go well soon the Dabba will be available at a store near you.
Dabba Features:
- Series of stackable dishes with silicone bases act as both a seal and a cool touch bottom for reheating
- Sustainable bamboo lid and a reusable felt placemat with integrated utensil storage
- Unique elastomeric handle keeps the stacked dishes secure during transport by stretching over the integrated dish “buttons”
- Felt placemat enhances the overall dining experience by elevating the food presentation and act as an insulator
- Food items can easily be transferred to the bamboo lid, which can double as a dish
- Dabba suggests proper portions by the varied sizes of the dishes themselves and the graphic icons printed on them
