Knoend

Last night, 11.16.07 was Knoend's opening at 427 Bryant St. They featured products designed by Ahmed and his friend Ivy and her husband. Ivy and her hubby have a company named Knoend.

They have products that take into consideration the material a lot.. So questions like 'where it's been, how was it made, what happens to it, and where does it go' gets factored into the design itself. It's pretty cool.

So, the lite 2go, encorporates the packaging as a major component of the light itself.

Other cool products included a Carlo Rossi jug that as cut, and then became a floor lamp.
Another thing is a biodegradeable flower vase that looks like a flower pot.

This is very beautiful, and I hope that one day I can do something like this with my friends. I want to reasearch crazy materials and think about ways to cut cost, cut material, and make beautiful things.
