Uncommon Goods

Uncommon Goods – Let’s get green

Paper, wood, cotton (and more) are the perfect mix to create cool manufactured art and merchandise.

The products we find on Uncommongoods.com are organic, recycled and handmade, and give us the opportunity of turning our house into a cooler space and make the world a better place.

Taking a look to Uncommon goods webpage I found very cool items and I had the impression of visiting a creative flea market without leaving my house 
(and the cup of coffee next to the laptop).

My Uncommon wishlist includes so many different products, 
but I decided to select 10 to make my email to Santa Claus shorter.

This wooden magnetic robot  and the playable art cube by german artist Bernd Liebert are perfect for any room.

This amazing office desk handmade by  Richard Velloso (NY) and this cool hybrid  skateboards table by Jason Podlaski would definetely make my house look better.

These illustrations can fit any room (kitchen and bathroom included)

And, in case of an elegant green night, these Martini glasses by designer David Rasmussen and the two-in-one bow tie by Drew Storm Graham can really make the difference.

Cupisnique

Cupisnique

Peruvian designer and former student of the Istituto Europeo di Design of Madrid, Erick Valdivieso Maceda unveils his proposal for liquid containers: the Cupisnique bottle, inspired by pre-Columbian artifacts from Peru, takes its name from the same culture that existed in 1500 BC

Configured by a stirrup-shaped neck which coincides with the vertical axis of its body, this particular bottle proposes to be the ambassador for the form perception on the northern coast of Peru, an area plenty of beaches, sea and sand, deserts, rain and winds, landslides, floods and earthquakes. It is the result of the vision and experience as active exploration of a civilization extincted.

Tubular handle vertical supports both ends of the container body and the neck of the liquid emerges from the center thereof thereby maintaining the communication of the three different parts of the bottle. In this first part of his research, the designer seeks the symmetry of this figure reproduced by all cultures that existed on the Peruvian Coast up to the Incas: from Cupisnique, Chavin, Viru, Chimu, Moche or Mochica to Nasca and Paracas.

The first material worked has been ceramic. In the words of this creative Peruvian "the need to perceive this way also leads me to experiment with more textures, explore with glass and plastic. Betting on the way home from the formation of the concept, is where I find a relationship between the present and past. "

The possibility of a dynamic interplay between form and concept within the context of distant space and time can also be considered valid today. The plugs are the result of screening with knots and thought needs by content. An easy plug opening for the water, meets other appropriate possibilities for soda, champagne or wine.
