The Milan International Home Show (MACEF) started on Friday the 7th of September and ends today. Of the course of its four day run, over 1.5 million new products have been introduced and are ready to hit the stores. Today, the Italian newspapers are celebrating the creativity on display by featuring lots of images of hot new items (though, they’ve not been so great at identifying the designers and producers of those products – we’ll add that information to this post as it’s made known to us).
We’ve picked out a few things that seem indispensable, starting with three legged chopsticks (above left) which work a bit like tweezers and allow those whose finger dexterity is somewhat lacking to eat Asian food with skill and grace.
The “Cuore Matto” or “Crazy Heart” knife holder reminds us to carefully consider that time-honored question of “what becomes of the brokenhearted?” It’s a design that’s certainly indebted to the recently popular Ex Knife Holder by designed by Rafaelle Iannello, but despite being a bit derivative, we dig the witty poignancy of this item.
