Bodum’s new BISTRO Pour Over Coffee Machine is an electric drip machine that’s gotten an overhaul. It’s such an obvious idea, we can’t believe they didn’t think of it sooner. The coffee drips into an insulated thermos instead of a plain old glass pot, so coffee will actually stay hot. The inner workings have improved too. Water heats up close to a boil, and is carried to the coffee grounds via an insulated pipe.

Italian lighting company Foscarini has recently introduced a new pendant light, the Planet Lamp, designed by Italian design studio Changedesign . Planet is a spherical textile lamp inspired by a study commissioned by NASA (carried out by Dainese in partnership with MIT) on high performance “intelligent” clothing worn by astronauts. Stitching applied to the surface of a spacesuit material made it adhere to the body, stopping it from expanding in the absence of gravity, yet was flexible for body movement. A similar idea involving thread treated at high temperature was developed by Foscarini in collaboration with Changedesign to develop the form of Planet so that it hardens into an exoskeleton to support the lamp’s shape. The light is available in two sizes: white with red thread detailing or white on white. Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook .

Recent furniture and product design graduate Edward Taylor studied the way in which people store their clothing and created The Show-off . The Show-off is a clothing storage unit that features an attached tree-like stand to hold garments and accessories that you might want to show off and a closed storage area for the less preferred items. The piece is made from oak, walnut, laminate and ply, and would provide great storage in the bedroom or by the front door. The Show-off was exhibited at Designersblock London in September 2011.

Minneapolis-based designer Paul Isabella has been hard at work with some new designs and a brand new website. Trye is a industrial-style stool made of only four parts, mainly a cast iron base and solid wood top. Splinte is a table made of sandwiched layers of wood and stainless steel. Arrow is a desk that explores the same form as Paul’s Lodi chair — a geometric, lightweight design that is influenced by bridge and construction design.
