IKEA, known everywhere for its simple, DIY furniture, has been continuing to experiment. Now they’ve come up with an assembly method that doesn’t even require the little allen keys that usually come with an assembly package.
How? It snaps together. That means wedges, little wooden wedges, are what hold together parts of the furniture.
The “wedge dowel” is a little ribbed connector. Take a look.
Enjoy a Cup of Tea with this Kettle
This is a sleek and modern teapot designed by Andy Walton. It can add luxury to a modern or traditional kitchen. It is also safe and easy to use, and that’s a few of the things we love about it. You can tell that it was designed with beauty and functionality in mind. This teapot, they call Easy Tea, is also great for collectors. Though many collectors buy antique pots, some collectors today love both the antique pots and modern design.
The design is reminiscent of Japanese design with it minimalist features and simplistic style. A teapot like this one is really a part of the kitchen and dining area atmosphere. It’s beautiful and a great conversation starter. I would certainly ask a host where they got it and who designed it. Easy Tea is a delightful addition to any kitchen, whether modern or contemporary. You’ll enjoy this one-of-a-kind tea maker.

Making New Furniture from Old Stuff
Jessica Thato Phasumane shared these photos of things her small business, Street Smart Creations, are making. They’re making these in India and selling for rupies, so they might not be something you guys will be ordering, given the size of the product, but it might be interesting still to see some of the ways they’re using old and no-longer-used materials to build new furniture, like couches, outdoor sets, tables, stools, fireplaces, and more.
In fact, Jessica’s line about her work was, “We recycle & repurpose steel drums, wooden pallets & tyres to create unique funiture with a variety of colours & designs…Our designs are Eco-friendly too.”
