Kanera's Custom Made Furniture For Their Beautiful Undulating Wash Basins.

About four years ago I wrote a post on some lovely custom made sinks made by Germany's Kanera whose basins, with their undulating forms, let the water pool like little natural lakes.



Since that post, Kanera has discontinued The Kanera D model and added the smaller Kanera 1X. Custom-made furniture is now available to complement these modern Kanera washbasins. Their washbasin units are made according to the customers' design guidelines as well as their furnishing requirements, which are tailored to each individual building project.










The Kanera 1E, 1H and 1X sinks, made of enamelled steel, are available as wall mounted washbasins or counter top inset vessels or in custom made bathroom furnishings, like the ones shown in this post, by Kanera.

The 1H:

The 1E:

The 1X:


All washstand models can be custom-made with individual trough position up to a total length of approx. 1800 mm. If clients so wish, all washstands can be supplied with drilled faucet and special plumbing holes. For the enameled steel washstands there is a choice of drainage system with or without an overflow. Double washbasin units are also available.

Kanera offers you an integrated consultation service spanning all stages in the design of your washbasin unit. From choosing the right washbasin model to deciding on your requirements in terms of functionality and furnishings, as expert partners in your building project we support you in each individual phase of the process. From simple hand-drawn sketches to professional renderings, upon request we will also compile all the necessary documents on product presentation and specification for you.

You can now purchase some of their sinks in their online store.

A Clever Way To Market Calm. BOH Camomile Tea Bags And Widget Designs.

To promote Boh brand camomile tea bags, M+C Saatchi, Malaysia created tea bags, packaging and a widget that, like camomile, bring calm to your world. The clever concept has won many awards worldwide including the Clios (Silver), Cannes Lions (Shortlist x 2), One Show (Merit), Communication Arts (2012 Design Annual), AdFest (Finalist x 4), AdStars (Finalist), Malaysian Kancils (Gold x 2, Silver, Bronze, Merit) and the 2012 Communication Arts Design Annual.



Each Boh Camomile Tea bag features a design, printed using edible tea ink, depicting the stressed person’s state of mind. Once the tea bag was immersed in a cup of boiling water, the edible tea ink dissolved, revealing a much calmer design. The Before/After effect served as a timely and memorable reminder of the calming properties found in every cup of BOH Camomile Tea.




The before and after teabags:




The Accompanying Widget:


This widget simulates the calm brought about by Boh Camomile Tea on the desktop of a harried person. Once the widget is downloaded, the user connects using Facebook. By doing this, the widget can access data and information from the user's profile, generating a compilation of their interests. When the frenetic pounding on the user's keyboard exceeds a set sound level for a certain time, the widget senses that the user is stressed, it automatically pops open on the desktop and shows the user a stressed photograph of him/her (via the user's webcam) and suggests he/she relax. It then helps calm the user by pulling entertaining content based on the user's interests from YouTube, Flickr,Twitter and other websites. Users can share the widget's calming influence with friends, thus spreading the calm.
