| Literary Teas Give You a Taste of Your Favorite Classic Books Posted: 06 Dec 2013 08:00 AM PST When you love literature, every favorite book has a distinct feel to it. Your mind creates a mental ambiance that defines your experience of that particular book. Designer Flora Chan designed a series of teas that add another layer of experience to reading the classics. Prologue teas each contain a unique blend of spices and loose tea leaves that Chan formulated based on the plots of classic literature. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Moby-Dick, Lolita, Don Quixote, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Great Gatsby are all represented in the set. The tea tins feature pictures and motifs that characterize each novel. Sherlock Holmes’ pipe, Moby-Dick’s white whale, and Lolita’s red lips are all recognizable icons from these famous books. The loose leaf teas and their distinctive flavors would be the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon spent reading a great classic book. It’s not often that you can imagine a whole other world while also tasting it. Keep Going - Check Out These Great Related Dornob Articles:

| Artistic Sculptures Double as Useful Modern Home Objects Posted: 05 Dec 2013 02:00 PM PST Designer Federica Bubani created a line of objects that show it isn’t always the materials you use, but the arrangement of such materials that make an object noteworthy. Her line of home objects is called COMBY, and every object is defined by the same materials. A wooden box, a steel bar, and a ceramic shade are the basis for every one of the objects. The volume of the wooden boxes remains the same throughout each piece, and the ceramic shades are the same other than having different opening sizes. Bubani created familiar home pieces like a makeup mirror, a desk lamp, and a basin using only these basic components. They are equal parts sculpture and functional items, each bringing its own unique qualities to the set. The desk lamp and makeup mirror both feature small holes in their bases to allow for storage of essential items. This brings them firmly into the “useful” category, though all of the objects in the series are versatile and intriguingly lovely. Keep Going - Check Out These Great Related Dornob Articles:
