Pop Bottles, Kid-Themed Booze

Although here at Foodiggity, we do not condone giving a child alcohol — unless it’s absolutely necessary – Pop Bottles is a series of kid-inspired booze by Italian designer Anna Utopia Giordano. And before parents start getting all riled up, this is merely an art project to raise social awareness on the topic of alcohol abuse by teens, pregnant women, and parents.

Or, it could be a commentary on how kids drive us to drink — but the artists explanation sounds better. See more here.

Much like the medium itself, these wine paintings by artist Elisabetta Rogai evolve over time. After a lot of trial and error, Rogai uses a water and flour mixture in the wine that she paints with, to help control the painting’s aging process. The result are portraits that begin with tones of purples and rubies, until they eventually fade into beautiful hues of orange and brown.

The See-Saw Table

The See-Saw Table, created by designer Marleen Jansen, is a great way to ensure that everyone finishes their meal at the same time — or perfect for someone who hates their spouse. And don’t even think about inviting that skinny friend of yours over for dinner — unless you like eating on the floor.

Ice Cream Cone Lamps

Inspired by Mr. Whippy ice cream cones, Cone Lamps is a series of hanging earthenware by Alex Garnett. While being a marvel of design, they also encourage the use of energy-saving fluorescent lightbulbs to mimic the swirlies of soft-serve ice cream. Now the lure of ice cream cones can literally hang over your head.
