Nikka Whisky
November 10th, 2007 by sauceMichael Young — the Hong-Kong-based British designer of practically everything — has just designed a startling black bottle for Japanese Nikka Whisky. The man who in addition to interiors and installations has designed furniture for Cappellini, lighting for Artemide, barware for Schweppes, Jewellery for Georg Jensen, polo shirts for LaCoste and bikes for Giant, seems to be able to find new ways to express old ideas.
Nikka Whisky Co., Ltd has made whisky since 1934 when Masataka Taketsuru returned from Scotland where he had became the first Japanese person to learn whisky making. Japan is now the world’s second-largest producer of single-malt whisky. One of the most popular in Japan is the 37% Black Nikka whisky, available at corner stores throughout Japan in tiny, medium and enormous (as in 4 liters) bottles. Nikka is part of one of the world’s largest beverage conglomerates, the Asahi Brewery Group.

Sweet eating
October 12th, 2007 by sauceTithi is an interesting and unique creative he approaches food and food related projects in a unique and inspiring way. check out his website under projects. Here is one of his pieces and insight behind it.
“I buy Twix extra because it’s only 10p more expensive than regular one. I finish it in one go, and feel guilty for the rest of the day.
Bargain food persuades people by playing with the value of money, which has brought a lot of problems to society: over nutrition, eating disorders, obesity, illness, guilt, wasting food, wasting resources, over production, etc”.
Can design make people buy food that offers LESS?
