This is a strainer that can be attached to a pot allowing the user to empty out the water content without worrying about the items inside from falling out. Since silicon can be moulded to form any shape, it can be used as an attachment to an existing object that helps create convenience for the user.

This design is very interesting  to me as the concrete covers the piece of cloth below giving it a solid fixed shape that can be used to store items or function as a plant pot. It gives the final product a very unique shape that is very different from each batch made.

This one uses a balloon to give the concrete a shape and since the balloon is inflatable it can be blown to different shape or sizes. Once the concrete drys, the balloon can be removed making the inside hollow. Furthermore the deflated balloon is smaller allowing for a smaller gap to be left as it can be removed easily

This bucket is collapsible as it can be compacted together resulting in a disk that is flat that can be easily stored or brought around. This shows me that silicon can be used to make more than just a solid object which allows me to explore into how the end product can be made.

The bottle has a rather sophisticated feel from the materials and finishes it uses. Form meets function when the silicone sleeve case is both classy and adds friction and grip to the product.

# data[].attributes.body
I find this interesting as it is rather cute and appealing for a product that helps with the ease of living

This piqued my interests as the metal wiring and concrete base creates a sense of union where the wire represents the structure of the finished product.

This piece of design is interesting to me as even though it looks like an ordinary straw with different colors , it has a hidden message behind it. Since there are already so many campaigns that showcase that there is a need to save plastic straws, silicone straws are made to prevent even more wastage of plastic materials and processes that harm the ocean, as well as it being able to be reused.

# data[].attributes.body
I find this design interesting as it looks very appealing with its small cute size and various colors. What makes this very unique as it helps solve a daily problem that some people face, the fact that some people would lose their bottle caps anywhere very easily. With this silicone product, since it is stretchable, can fit into any size bottle without any faults.

# data[].attributes.body
I find this design interesting as it is shaped and designed as an action that normal humans would act into an actual household product. The design is that of a human usually holding keys on his or her finger , which is designed into a key holder.

I find these interesting as they firstly look as though they are a mere decoration, however within further research, these turn out to be excellent storage containers. Its simplistic design is also very satisfying to look at as well

# data[].attributes.body
I find this product intriguing as it seems unorthodox and inconvenient. However, it seems to incorporate a rather chic connotation, fitting it right in any modern house

I like the regular shapes that made of concrete. Concrete plus plants give people a strong feeling of an organic environment. Concrete material could give people a feel of quality. Simple shapes could just emphasize its aesthetics.

Spin&Relax Designed in Warsaw by UAU project. Silicon spinning top made for relaxation. Interesting patterns compared to regular spinning tops. Mesmerising to watch as it spins.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is interesting because its straightforward, minimalistic and functional.  I like how they made use of the concrete's resistance to fire and make a table out of it. The finishing of this concrete fire pit looks really smooth and clean. I find that satisfying because I would normally think that concrete is rough and porous looking.  It seems like a stage for the fire and I think it would bring marshmallow roasting to another level.

# data[].attributes.body
Although it is normal for architecture to be built using concrete, i find this very interesting because of the method used. They made use of the viscosity of the concrete to discharge a constant flow layer by layer eventually ending up with a villa. I think its a really cool technique that i could try out.

# data[].attributes.body
Form is really interesting and gives off a flowing illusion. It is interesting how the concrete can be bend.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is an interesting design although it has already become quite common.  Food grade silicone stands up to heat and cold well and it is also unbreakable, making it durable.  The folding lines allow the bowl to be collapsed in a controlled manner, making it compact and more portable.

# data[].attributes.body
The design looks complete. What is interesting is the stairs-like details which depicts real life objects. It looks intricate.

# data[].attributes.body
I find this concrete design interesting purely because of the texture this pattern creates with the use of concrete. Besides that, it makes the light look delicate and elegant. The concrete pairs nicely with the bulb due to their contrasting shapes.

# data[].attributes.body
Typically, I'd imagine the use of concrete to appear as something rigid or geometric, so I find this twist in the design rather interesting.

I find this interesting as I think that silicone decorative pieces can also be made useful by having it be something that can stimulate a person while they're working.

In software engineering, there's a practice called Rubber Duck Debugging where a programmer will keep a rubber duck on their table and, whenever they encounter a roadblock, they will debug the code by explaining it line-by-line to it, often squishing it super tightly as well to alleviate stress.

I think that something similar to that can be made to help others. People with anxiety or ADHD might find it useful as well.

I find this design interesting due to the silicone's ability to fold.

I think this product is interesting because of the intricate grooves which gives the silicone extra flexibility.  The heat resistant properties of silicone provide more insulation than an oven glove and it also offers more grip, so it can also be used to open a stubborn jar lid.

It is a pen holder molded from silicon that allows the user to put things with sharp ends into it.
The model have self-sealing property in the "business end" of it, so objects such as really sharp pencils and pen knives could be placed into it without risking damaging it .

# data[].attributes.body
It is a multi-stage/modular vase pen holder pending on the depth of the depression . additionally due to the lego like design of the internal, the user could stack them higher so as to plant plants into them. Since the object is constructed from silicon ,the sharp edges are not necessary dangerous,which also makes it safe for toddlers to interact with them.

Walking assembly
Where you can move around large concrete blocks just by hands, to form a flight of stairs.
I like that there are different pieces which would fit nicely together (modular). Even though the bottom surface is round, but the weight distribution (the last piece being the tallest and heavier), it allows the whole structure to be stable.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a multinational tool which can be used in three different ways depending on the situation and user.
The slightly raised lower side allows items such as books, flat piece calendar and even phones to be placed there at a slight 30 to 45 degree elevation angle , and if the user is using two of these holder ,they could put it side by side, with the longer side facing each other to allow items to be placed between them , forming some sort of a shelf.
Additionally, it can be used to hold onto doors ,which is just an extra function, i guess

Foldable Silicone Bottle
The reason why i chose this product is that it is able to contain a  considerable amount when in use, but at the same time it can be rolled into a product that is almost the same size / smaller than a wallet.
This is important in this context as we live in a world where convenience is the utmost important.
The user can keep the bottle in his/her bag when not in use while taking minimal space, but can also expand the bottle when he/she requires to drink water.

# data[].attributes.body
Looks kind of nice and cute in my opinion as it looks like a scaled down version of the concrete/cement pipe thing that were used to construct the base foundation of tunnels.
Additionally, the design itself allows the user to use the holder both ways ,and with the weight of the body, the holder won't slide off surfaces so there is the flexibility of use there .

This teeth brush is interesting is not only because it is power-driven but also it shows the property of silicone. The brush section of the product is made of silicone which shows the flexibility and bend-ability of the material. And I believe it has a longer life than the normal teeth brush because bifurcation will not happen in silicone brush.

This product shows a certain property of Silicone which is shapable and can be bend. It can be shaped into some forms (forms follow function). It can be kept in a small place because it can be bent.

Since the concrete is not glossy, it is very effortless to create irregular forms, which have a similar feeling of rock. Thus, this candle holder is very interesting, when it comes to forms that follow the spirit. The concrete is designed into the shape of half a mountain, but what's another half is formed with a candle. When the wax melts, it looks like the snow covers the mountain.

# data[].attributes.body
This concrete light is interesting because it represents the property of concrete well, and this is why it is so different from other light we see in IKEA or any light shop. The texture of the concrete gives a very natural feeling that can not be hand-crafted. Due to the bad translucency of the concrete wall, which reflects and concentrates all the light from bulb downwards. Secondly, there is a faultage between the upper and lower section of the concrete light. The concrete is purposely knocked out to show the structure of the light and allowed more light rays to pass through. When it is lighted up creates an abstract shadow that gives a mysterious feeling.

# data[].attributes.body
This is interesting as the texture and method of making this bowl is very unique. I did not know that concrete could be able to have the weaving pattern as I have always thought that only weaving, using yarn is the only possible way to ‘produce’ this kind of texture and pattern.

This is a really interesting yet fascinating design I have ever seen. Most of the basins we have are made usually made up of porcelain instead of concrete. I really like how Tomas Vecek designed the inner of the basin with different layers. It might looks aesthetically pleasing when water used to wash our hands slowly flows down the different layers.

The L242 speaker by Vonschloo is a great example of amazing craftsmanship. Made using materials like composite cement, wood, metal, and fabric, the speaker has a timeless look. The speaker can be placed on a bookshelf or mounted on a sleek metal stand to maintain a minimalist approach. The wired-speaker comes with a single power woofer that produces great acoustics with amazing voice clarity and low resonance.

“Basso” is a shelf system produced by Eternit and created by the Austrian designer Thomas Feichtner. Eternit. The design of the modular shelf system consisting of 3 different basic elements. Stacked one upon or next the other these cubes are fixed with simple round pegs. Basso can be used as a shelf for wine bottles or firewood or books. The most interesting feature is the combination of the different size modules for different use cases.

The Hydro Flask Cooler Cup is a versatile little holder for your bottle/can that allows the drinks within them to maintain their temperature for longer. A silicone sleeve allows you to snugly and securely fit your drink can or bottle into the Cooler Cup, letting your drink stay refreshingly cool for longer.

The Hydro Flask Cooler Cup is made from recycled stainless steel and silicone. Aside from using it as a holder for your bottle or can, you can use the Cooler Cup as a tumbler/glass by directly pouring drinks.

For this design, they took advantage of the fact that silicone can be easily stretched. This led to a bottle that can be stretched to varying sizes. This can lead to easier storage of the bottle in bags and allows the bottle to hold different amounts.

As for this design, the designers made use of the fact that silicone is a poor conductor of heat, hence the usage of silicone. They also made it to be foldable so that it takes up less space and be stored easier.

What I like about this concrete design is that it makes use of concrete to create something minimal. The chess pieces' main body is made of concrete while the top/ head is formed by a metal rod bent to take the shape of the chess pieces. Together, it forms a very minimal design.

This design interest me because of its usability and viability. It acts as a phone holder while being a speaker as well. It has a slot for the user to place the phone in and hold it in place. At the same time, it can amplify any sound the phone makes, making it somewhat a speaker.

To me I think this is interesting because I imagine what the mould for this product is and how does one come up with it the first time, how did they get all the “feelers” to come out properly instead of sticking to the mould which to me is something that can easily happen no matter the material. Furthermore, this product is in a sense flexible yet rigid, it’s flexible enough to bend and curve to fit the size or shape of ones hand but rigid enough to withstand force/ pressure that allows it to not “crumble” which makes me very interested in the actual material properties.

This is a silicone collapsible cup which is very interesting, it’s designed in a way that it can actually stay up when it contains liquids but at the same time, it can be squeezed into almost a flat product. How can something be strong yet easily collapsible and what is the process behind it intrigues me.

This triangularized head shaped holder brings another form of intricacy and sparks more questions, like how does it get its shape? Given that some sides are protruding with no base to support when the product is being formed. Furthermore, the product looks very well polished and smooth, which begs the question, is it the materials itself that allows it to be so smooth or is it a product of sanding down till it is all smoothened out.

# data[].attributes.body
This concrete horse stand caught my eye due to it’s intricate details given that I feel not everyone has the patience to make such a product as it takes time and effort to carve in the details if it’s handmade but if it is something mass produced, it begs the question of how it’s made and what is used to make. It’s more then likely for it to have a mould but if so, how does it be removed from its mould and have the concrete not crumble.
