I was actually looking for more info on these awesome looking Cupmen (which hold down instant noodle lids and turn white once the noodles have finished cooking – cool right?!) when I stumbled onto Spoon & Tamago. And I promptly fell in love with the blog, because author Johnny Strategy has an impeccable eye for the quirky and charming in Japanese design. Browsing through the blog was a real treat for the eyes and feast for the mind!
Apart from the forementioned cupmen:
I was also very taken with these little wooden magnets that look like delicious pebble-buttons. As Johnny said, “The smooth, rounded surface beckons you to touch and caress it. Looking at them lined up makes me want to put one in my mouth.”
But the tree page-markers were probably my favorite – such brilliant conceptual design by artist Megumi Takahashi!
Anyways, if any of the above caught your eye then I would highly recommend a browse through Spoon & Tamago – it’s sure to inspire!
