Jorre van Ast / Industrial Designer

When is a jug not a jug? When its a jar! By screwing on plastic tops, these jars are turned into containers with a specific function. A jar is transformed into kitchenware, creating more practical and emotional value. The family includes a sugar pot, milk can, spice container, chocolate sprinkler, oil&vinegar set, mug and a water jug...



 

Clamp-a-book, clamp-a-hook, clamp-a cable... Design solutions derived from the clamp typology: a family of objects, each with a specific function. The collection of these informal utensils includes a book stop and a book finger, a book display, a hook and a rail that clamp onto the side of horizontal surfaces, a hook to clamp on to electrical pipes, a candle holder, and a cable manager that can be clamped onto a table leg.



 

Inspired by and learning from the Clampology project, the clamp principle has moved to another scale: a clamp-on table leg. The legs are a more compact alternative to trestles. The legs come as an individual set of four legs to match any surface.

This is really cool! those plastic tops for various jars are really great example of reusable design.. especially when there would be enough jars with the accurate screw-radius of food-products on the market :) instead of throwing jars away, you can have wonderfull collection of countainers .. you only need to buy those easy tops..
even those clams are very nice. I think it's wonderful design solving most of the student's room difficulties... :)
