Innovative product design from black + blum

I have been a huge fan of product designers black + blum for many years. I personally own several of their products and they have certainly stood the test of time. I first picked up a “Jimmy” in Amsterdam way back in 2000. It still hangs, or should I say ‘climbs’, on the side of the refrigerator today. Not only do they have exceptional design prowess, but they also have clever names assigned to the products.

Give your bathroom a cool accent with “Loo Read”. Its wire frame holds magazines, newspapers and of course loo rolls… two of them, just in case one runs out! [I wonder if Lou Reed is aware of this special honor!]

A sculptural polished aluminium bowl for all your loose change, keys, bits and bobs. Drop everything in and then easily pour it out into your hand again.

…will magnetically climb your fridge door to store your keys and also opens bottles while holding onto the top afterwards.

These leafy salad servers stand upright in their own pot and will give life to any table setting. The pot can also be used for mixing (and serving) your salad dressing. They are also the ultimate salad decoration when stuck into the salad upright!

Inspired by the flow of liquid, this sculptural wine rack is finished in brushed stainless steel. Flow is wall mounted and will hold up to eight bottles using a minimum of space.

After many requests, we have finally adapted the award winning doorstop design into a bookend! The stainless steel plate that is fixed to his foot, ensures that any number of books can be leant against James’ outstretched arm without him slipping over. He can be used individually or as a pair.
