os waterboiler









.                         .   there's something about this waterboiler that made me so happy


it's part of the  open structures  project made by jesse howard + thomas lommée
now shown in milan at  Perspectives an exhibition about belgian design : an interview with the curator

it made me happy because it's playful , funny in a serious way and will probably make good coffee as well



i would love to try it






p.s. the yellow coffee filter + paper + glass are quite essential parts of it's beauty
