Built in DIY



I was at 100% Design last year and saw a piece by Tomoko Azumi and love its simplicity. A beautifully hand carved napkin ring that allows the user to print their own designs on the napkin - so the DIY capabilities are built in to the product. 

It was part of a project called Ten Again, where ten designers were given £10 to design and make something, only using materials sourced from 10 miles radius within their studio. A nice exercise in how limitations can often create great design.
