This kettle, designed by ECAL design student Estelle Sauvage, uses the heat from a 100-watt light bulb to heat its contents. From the designer: This kettle works with the heat of an incandescent light bulb 100W, which the sale is forbidden since September, 2009 (in France) and which see ending their production and their existence within homes. So the revolutionary object finished its life sadly, demonized by the ecology. This project just tries to pay a kind of tribute, staging the bulb, and its death. The kettle becomes out of order, its status of useful object crosses in a fraction of second, an object of memory, a “former” object.

If you didn’t already know it, I spent a lot of time watching HGTV’s Design Star show this year. Emily Henderson, 30, a prop stylist originally from Portland, OR, is the season five champion, and she writes a cute blog called The Brass Petal . Her style is quirky, eclectic, and while it leans more toward bohemian chic than it does modern, I think she is refreshing, down-to-earth and speaks my language. As much as I would love to love fine art, I’m secretly much more interested in commercial art.
