Can You Imagine? Alcantara®, Power of a Material
A double size hammock made out of five laser-cut Alcantara® sheets in different colours.
Alcantara®, is a flat material that mainly comes in solid colours. Laser-cutting Alcantara® in various colours and then placing it in layers one on top of the other results in multi-colour pattern combinations that can be applied in many products. The process can almost be compared to screen printing where each layer is printed in only one colour, but colourful results can be achieved by adding many layers together.

A collection of boxes inspired by the mechanism of a common sewing box. The purpose of the each box is suggested by an incorporated readymade object.

Invited to create 12 unique table centers for the Designs of Year exhibition awards ceremony at the Design Museum London, OKAY studio and friends decided that the guests could benefit from a little light hearted dinner time foolishness. Each table center plays or encourages the guests to play with their food (hurling it across the room at the other guests, piling it up in the middle of the table, wearing it on their heads…). The 12 of a kind table centers reflect a playfulness with typologies that is at the same time both familiar yet unexpected. Designed by Raw-Edges:

Let’s Play the William Tell
A tableware arrow & bow game made out of Italian bread sticks and apples.

Cream Shooter
A Medieval look alike cream shooting machine. The magazine made out of leather and filled with extra thick cream!!!

Raw Edges are inspired by the specific design language of Fisher Price Toys from the 1970's. Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay have chosen one of the ultimate symbols of high quality, brightly coloured, highly finished plastic, which during theirs and many childhoods typified homes across the world. Fisher Price toys with their plastic properties of durability and myriad shape and colour possibilities were seen on every nursery floor, a positive symbol of a plastic manufacturing age.

In this modern twist on a beloved design language, with Plastica Nostalgia Raw Edges have created works which look like they are plastic, brightly coloured and highly finished, but are in fact made from carefully crafted beech wood. Plastica Nostalgia’s emotional value lies in the treasured memories the old pieces of Fisher Price plastic evoke. These elements assume a new life at the centre of a piece of contemporary furniture. Plastica Nostalgia has ‘Alice in Wonderland’ qualities as the scale of our childhood toys, now dwarfed by adulthood, regain some of their stature in this sympathetic environment.

The rocking slippers are a hybrid of a domestic shoes and a small rocking stool, they developed under the title of "body extension", where a wearable item gets almost to the territory of independent product.

A Giant wall mounted revolving fish bowl allows your dearest pet to travel the polluted ocean from the comfort of his own home.

Iron-On stickers that turn unsightly stains into attractive doodles. An alternative way to prolong the life of stained clothes.
A postcard sized sheet that would be enough to rescue at least 4 different stains.

The Head Hand Bag enables its (females) users to experience a sense of victory without the need for violent action. This project explores the ability to translate an object into a story and a story into a product. The biblical story about Judith and Holofernes and its visual representation from the Renaissance were inspiration for the design of the bag.

The evacuation skirt was done just after the storm in New Orleans.
The skirt keeps its glamorous look when it's deflated on the one hand, and on the other it inflates into a kayak with the right amount of volume to carry a grown up woman. I wanted to raise the question of emergency and beauty and to explore whether they can meet each other.

A simple employee at the council rubbish disposal services had a peculiar imagination: he could see teddy bears in every object he observed. As a child he would stare at the clouds imagining that he could see teddy bears in the sky… and today...everywhere, even the black bin bags looked like teddy bears to him.
No one at work could stand his excited cries every time he shouted 'look at that bear...look at that one...don't throw it into the garbage crusher… nooooo!..'
Of course he was fired from his job, lost his family and friends and became homeless. Yet even though many people thought he was strange, none of them would admit that they too saw the teddy bear bin bags dumped around the streets of London.

These three different milk cartons distinguish between the rates of fat in the milk by using form rather then colour. The form of the milk cartons reflects in a way on the milk’s texture and smoothness. The two back folds are used as the carton's handle, while the two in the front function as the spout.
