Wieki Somers

—Wieki Somers made his classes at the Design Academy Eindhoven. 'That is well after I realized my chances of having professors like Hella Jongerius and Gijs Bakker, one of the founders of Droog'. She remembers being an "unsociable" student, keeping her distance in front of an education where concept predominated. 'Students are not allowed to draw before they have thought, researched and identified an strategy'.
—What interests her the most are the materials, their transformation and the intuitive experimentation that goes along. She is convinced, like the classical sculptors, that in every material and every technique lies a hidden story waiting to be revealed.
—The bottle "Mattress Stone" was part of an experiment that involved a balloon in a fishing net and it was born in the EKWC (European Ceramic Work Center), a laboratory where artists and designers are invited to explore new applications of ceramic.

Sara Huston
http://www.sara-huston.com/
I really like the statement that Sarah Huston wrote about her work: "I am neither an artist nor a designer, I work as both. I dedicated 7 years of my life getting a bfa in sculpture and a mfa in 3d design. I have an appreciation and love for both disciplines and feel that one can not survive without the other. The work I do lies adjacent to design and at the same time in opposition to it. My work challenges the user and makes them question their expectations of something they are familiar with. Through the constant denial of sensible utility I hope to uncover the way furniture communicates.
My work is derived from domestic home furniture typologies that are then filtered through the aesthetic and a formal sensibility of minimalism. The pieces, scale, composition, form, color, positioning in a space, and relationship to the body provoke a sense of familiarity. I allow for signifiers of use, such as a door, shelf, or a drawer, with these elements becoming just enough information for the viewer/user to relate to. By finding a middle ground between art and design, I am not elevating art or design, but regaining control of my own work one object at a time."
Sara lives in Portland, Oregon and has started a design studio with John Paananen.
Marti Guixé

http://www.food-designing.com/01-food.htm
Proposals that lie within food, design and art. Food that mimics the shape of its container, cookies with indications of how to bite them, bottles with edible corks, and other projects that involve that you "make them disappear through ingestion".
'Marti Guixé (b.1964) is a Catalonian designer living in Barcelona and Berlin. He graduated in interior design from Elisava in Barcelona in 1985 and enrolled in an industrial design study in Politecnico di Milano|Scuola Polytecnica di Design di Milano in 1986. Guixé is very outspoken in his dislike of design as stylized object and form. Rather than reshaping existing products Guixé’s work seeks to alter ways of seeing and thinking. Design to Guixé needs to evoke constant evaluation of the parameters of function and active engagement and reinvention on the part of the consumer. It is a platform for questioning, visualising and influencing contemporary human behaviour.' http://www.guixe.com/
Christopher Dresser
Teapot and Creamer, 1880, James Dixon & Sons, silver plate and ebony. Collection of Crab Tree Farm.
Photograph by James Prinz.
I was looking for beautiful or interesting looking teapots when I came across this one which was designed by Christopher Dresser in 1880. If it was not for the tea stains—that I retouched to imagine how it could have look when new, but that you can still see here—I could have easily believed it was made this decade, or that it belonged to the latest collection of a kitchen brand inspired by the 1957 Sputnik satellite.
Christopher Dresser (1834 – 1904) is now known as Britain’s first independent industrial designer and as a contributor to the Anglo-Japanese and Aesthetic movements in Britain. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, he attended the Government School of Design, Strand where he received training in design as well as botany. Dresser’s iconic designs are still in production, such as his celebrated oil and vinegar sets and toast rack designs, that are now manufactured by Alessi.—Wikipedia.
In my search I also found this blog, that if you are interested in teapots, I think you will enjoy.

Joe Cariati
Joe Cariati is a designer and glassblower from Los Angeles who produces high quality, hand-crafted contemporary glassware.
"Feather-weight, a lot of light transmission and overall clean lines are really what my glass is about. I'd love to see it float off the table. It's extremely difficult to execute this quality in terms of technique, which I find very exciting, it keeps me engaged in the process." "My approach is to craft the glass quickly and efficiently; clean, pure, simple and beautiful."

Poor
1. Uncovering lamp, 2008. Plexiglas object which gives no light but at least it does not shut off light either. Additionally, it can serve as a stand for a classical lamp with a clamp changing it in a traditional bedside lamp.
3. Mlodek, nutcracker, 2003/04. If we smash a nut with a hammer, we may find it pretty difficult to restrain ourselves from hitting it hard. This can, however, result in a complete crushing of the object. Thanks to a hollowed hammer, we can hit a nut as hard as we can, and it still will make a small cleavage on its surface.
4. Poor light, 2007. Screensaver lamp to be used in your computer.
