Red Dot Design Award Winner 2011

Karen

With over 4,000 entries from 40 countries, the annual red dot design award ranks among the largest design competitions worldwide. The competition is divided into two sections – product design and communication design – which are staged and adjudicated separately. The coveted trophy in both is the red dot, the international seal of quality for outstanding design. The award winning products are displayed online and published in a yearbook.

We can see why today’s item won the 2011 Red Dot Design Award. It’s a kitchen item with a twist… The Callista lemon squeezer is a new product from Blomus, now available at Dennis and McGregor. Blomus products have a knack for being artistic and modern, yet affordable. The designers drew their inspiration for the item from the natural world. This stainless steel Callista squeezer will make lemon squeezing a breeze, saving you time in the kitchen and giving you more time to relax at home

Design Brilliance by Blomus

Karen

“A designer knows when he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away

Can we still find something truly unique in this day and age? In a world that is increasingly conforming to the norm, the unusual becomes more precious. The desire for uniqueness is great. The blomus brand fulfils this aspiration. It represents the exceptional amongst the mundane, the face that stands out in a crowd. In their quest for the remarkable, blomus designers have identified a single inexhaustible source of inspiration: the natural world. Elementary forms, solid materials, authentic radiance – these values can be rediscovered in blomus products in many fascinating ways.

Here at Dennis and McGregor we are always on the look out for unique designer brands to add to our ever increasing collection.  Blomus is one of those brands that we would love to add to our collection.  Their products are bold and beautiful and we would love to be part promoting this wonderful brand that is Blomus.

Have a cuppa in style

Karen

Have a cup of tea in a classic Teacup & Teapot from Höganäs! Swedish stoneware of best quality with a practical and stylish wooden coaster which can also be used as a lid.

A new series of modern everyday tableware for Höganäs Keramik, inspired by classic Höganäs products. It´s a collaboration that marks a brand new chapter in the century-old history of Höganäs Keramik. This new yet timeless series of tableware is for all those different everyday eating and drinking occasions.

Lovely design and high quality clay-fired stoneware is glazed to cope with being used over and over again, and because it’s fired at such high temperatures to minimize chipping and cracking it’s even suitable for oven/microwave cooking. Stoneware mugs keeps your coffee hot longer.

Great ideas created by Goodbyn

Karen

Goodbyn are a small company in Naperville, Illinois who had a little idea to reinvent the way kids eat lunch—making lunchtime easier, more inspiring and fun for both kids and parents. From the beginning, they decided to be as transparent as possible about our decisions as a company: how they produce, ship and get product to market. Below, you’ll find information about our materials, suppliers, vendors and craftsmen whose unrelenting energy has made Goodbyn possible.

As they concepted Goodbyn and researched kids’ eating habits, we wanted a team of people who meshed with their beliefs, but had the unique background of research-driven, modern product design. They thought they’d be searching for a while, but (almost immediately) we were able to form a team with the expertise and design aesthetic that enables Goodbyn to look as cool as it does while making lunchtime for kids smarter than ever.

Goodbyn’s products are manufactured, assembled and fulfilled in the Midwest United States.

Now available to buy in the United Kingdom directly from Dennis and McGregor.

Music to your ears

Karen

Music is a very colorful thread woven into the entire fabric of our lives.  The importance of music is a greater part of life; which harmony receives soothing sound of gentleness. The success of music generates entertainment through music. Movement, of self motivation alerts the body, mind and soul to a higher level. The importance of music in human lives can produce gratitude, heal stress with a stimulation of entertainment for one to be successful at his best.” Joyce Phillips
