Bin Bin<br />
Slam dunk<br />
Harmonizing form with<br />
function, this design classic<br />
has received multiple<br />
international awards. Designed<br />
by John Brauer and cast out<br />
of hard polyethylene, the<br />
seven-litre bin resembles a<br />
crumpled piece of waste paper.<br />
It took the designer hundreds of<br />
crumplings and unfoldings to find<br />
just the right model for the job, and<br />
now the bin looks exactly like what<br />
it is designed to contain. Comes in<br />
various colours.<br />

Save your sanity and tame the workaholic<br />
inside you with these five ingenious gadgets<br />
Mustard Hot Cookie<br />
Hot co-worker<br />
Stop throwing out your lukewarm coffee and stop<br />
drinking cold tea! This clever little cup-warmer, a pad made<br />
in the image of a delectable two-ply cookie, plugs straight<br />
into any USB port and promises to maintain your drink at<br />
a respectable 50ºC. It might not make you work less, but<br />
with all of the steaming-hot caffeine you’re sure to be<br />
ingesting, it should make you work better. On/off switch.<br />

Metal floating<br />
bookshelf<br />
Weighty topics<br />
If you’re feeling crushed by all the work<br />
that you have to do, then you’re not the<br />
only one. This black metal bookshelf is<br />
quite tiny and seems to float on air while<br />
bearing the brunt of your heavy books.<br />
Weighing a mere 470 grams, it can<br />
safely hold 3.5 kg of your paperwork<br />
and other literature.<br />

Mobile<br />
Phone Rest<br />
Give it a rest<br />
Could there be a better way to<br />
give your overworked mobile device<br />
some down time than in its own<br />
personalized and engraved wooden<br />
crib? Handmade in Europe out of solid<br />
oak, this small piece of desk candy<br />
is perfect for ensuring that you can<br />
take a break from your phone. Comes<br />

alphanumeric characters or symbols.<br />
Aßlarger version fits two phones.<br />

Form vs. function<br />
The Swiss have been doing their part to get us<br />
off the grid. Why not break out of the hyperconnected<br />
hamster wheel with a different<br />
kind of smartphone: one that doesn’t let you<br />
work 24-7. This gorgeously designed mobile<br />
phone looks minimalist and simple – and it is!<br />
All it does is make phone calls and send texts,<br />
encouraging you to disconnect from the web<br />
and take some time to actually live life, instead<br />
of following it around online. What more could<br />
you ever want in a phone, really? The company<br />
is even running a Digital Detox Challenge to see<br />
who can disconnect the most. #punktchallenge.<br />
