I'm not really sure where this post is going, but bear with me..
I was at a Brazilian bar the other night and a band started setting up next to my table. The percussionist was also playing the flute etc so needed everything close at hand and ready to use so used almost scaffolding to attach various percussive instruments which were then ready to use.
It's not ground breaking and not new but somehow struck me as one of those solutions that are overlooked and that evolve from a routine. So I started thinking about possibilities where this could be brought into other products/designs.
Then I saw the ice cream clipped onto an espresso cup saucer in Wallpaper (October2007) which is from an article about Fortnum&Masons ice cream parlour.
What a brilliant idea.. the easiest way to present the ice cream, and I'm sure it goes perfectly with the espresso..
Again I'm not so sure where all this is going, or how it is useful to me, or whether it has already been spent as a design idea in all design worlds..
We shall see..
