What a wonderful way to reuse materials! Kyle Bean specializes in hand made models, sets and tactile illustrations. He works paying an enormous amount of attention to detail and employs all sorts of everyday materials such as paper, wood and even... eggshells!

Here you can see a chicken made of eggshells and London’s subway map made out of discarded straws..!

I just spotted these really great 'Matchbox Lights'. They are what you'd call low tech, but they still look amazing..who says you need to strike a match for a conversation starter? ;-) Made entirely from eco and recycled materials, this light will open or close so you can choose the intensity of the light. You can buy them at this French contemporary design webshop.

Last week we ran a competition inviting you guys to tell us which Bottelicious bottle you loved best and why. The winners receive one of their beautiful bottles. We received nearly 50 entries and will be contacting the winners via email soon. In the meantime, here was one of our favourites, a fun (although slightly strange) poem sent in by D. Gezik ;-)

Love me tender
Doesn't matter which gender
As long as we drink together
Vegetables and fruit in a blender
No more pollution or tv-zenders
Just drinking water forever and ever
We love Bottelicious,
Strawberry Earth & Wim Wenders

Every Krattenkast is unique because the collection and colour of each crates varies. Design is by Mark van der Gronden.

For all you design loving world travellers out there, how about keeping track of your travels by pinning on this uber sustainable art piece / map from design studio / store Baum Kuchen. The map is printed on hand crafted recycled paper from Neenah, mounted on sustainably produced cork from Portugal and the frames are made using FSC certified wood. A beautiful feature for your home and very Strawberry!

It's less cosy and colourful than I'd like, but one element of this Concrete Kitchen that I love is the integrated herbal boxes. It would save me loads more space on my cluttered window sills where I currently have pots and pots of basil, rosemary and parsley. Design by Martin Steininger of Steininger Designs.

This amazing picture from the otherside of the wave is made by Mark Tippel, an Australian documentary photographer. Curious for his work? At the Hart Beach surf shop in Scheveningen there is an exposition of his work this saturday together with the launch of TwoThirds, a sustainable brand from San Sebastian. So check out the photographs with drinks and music.
