Innovative Design by Onkar Singh Kular
Using design as a medium for exploring everyday rituals from drinking tea to watching television, the British designer ONKAR SINGH KULAR has developed a series of conceptual products since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2002.
When Onkar Singh Kular designed a pair of socks he added a third one in case one got lost. Embedded in the wood of his picture frame is a spirit level to help check that it hangs in a straight line. He also created a set of mugs in each of 128 Pantone shades of brown so that each family member or co-worker can choose the mug corresponding to their favourite colour of tea. Whenever a relative or colleague makes tea for them, they will be able to tell from the colour of the mug exactly how strong it should be and how much milk to add.
This looks like a great application for restaurant tea or coffee service.
