“Israeli designer ilan sinai explores tableware as more than just a platform for food to be served in. through his ‘sensual tableware’ collection, sinai includes tableware a part of the sensory experience of eating and enjoying a meal, by making it ‘active’. the project offers a menu of three families entitled: ‘senses’, ’20-40-10 (%)’ and ‘channels and drainages’ which are each completed by a first course, main course and dessert plate.”
To calm your fears:
“mann’s ‘cross-fire’ series utilizes the possibilities digital technology offers to examine the intangible characteristic of the spoken word. the work investigates the unseen effect of the sound of speech, focusing on an audio excerpt of a domestic argument, sampled from the film ‘american beauty’ (1999).”
“the inensity of the argument’s sound waves are digitally mapped and materialized using rapid prototyping and then the forms are cast in a range of materials. each object encapsulates a momentary emotion of the argument. the once-static tabletop forms are deformed into objects of unseen familiarity. “
‘cross-fire series’ were exhibited as part of lab craft at during london design festival 2010.

“Fall has fell here in Saskatoon, and with the new season comes great new events being put on by your community radio station! We’re really excited to present to you the very first CFCR Community Radio Craftacular, taking place October 29th & 30th at Grace Westminster United Church basement. What the devil is a “Craftacular,” you ask? Well, we wanted to highlight all the great crafters and artisans from right here in Saskatoon and area, so we thought we’d get a bunch of them together in a sort of alternative craft fair. You’ll find all sorts of goodies, from jewelry to ceramics to knitting to books to framed art to knicks, knacks and paddy whacks. It will be a great one-stop for all your early holiday shopping. And, since it’s in a church basement, we thought what better food to serve than perogies from the fine folks at local Saskatoon perogy maker Baba’s? You’ll surely smell the delicious sauteed onions as soon as you come down the stairs, so be sure to get yourself a plate. There will also be beverages, muffins from Earthbound Bakery and other delicious desserts available. The whole thing starts on Friday, October 29th from 5-9pm and picks up again on Saturday the 30th, from 9am-8pm, closing early enough for all the kids to go trick-or-treating! Admission is FREE and there will be door prizes and a 50/50 draw, so you might come out ahead just for attending! Vendor space is almost full, but if you are interested in participating as a seller, email our Program Director, Jay Allen at [email protected] for more information.”
