The Oohh collection incorporates gorgeous design using recycled materials. The collection offers a beautiful range of pots, vases, bowls, candle holders and a great choice of containers. All products are made of recycled paper, sand, natural latex and cut offs of mahogany wood from the furniture in Sri Lanka.
From Their Website:
Oohh is created to surprise and inspire the customers and of course to get that 'oohh reaction'. The customers will love everything in the collection from the 'basic' pots and vases made from recycled paper, sand and latex to the more creative products combining materials such as recycled mahogany wood from the furniture industry in Sri Lanka. One of hot news for this Spring season is pots and trays in a new and interesting felt like material ECO-felt made from recycled plastic bottles and bags. Eco-felt is very easy to cut and shape and give us lots of possibilities with nice details. All products are of course still water proof and fit any home environment. Lübech Living are very much engaged in the women's project in Sri Lanka and it is important to remember that when we all support this good cause we help and support these women so that they can work from home and look after their families and homes and still earn that very important income. They are paid the same fair price per unit no matter how many they are able to produce per week, no pressure from our side....this is true fair trade.

Vanessa Anyaeji, designer and blogger, has already written one good article for us, but she did not want to stop on that :) So please welcome her article about company called MENU.
Follow Vanessa on her blog.
For the Danish design house, Menu, an unremitting characteristic that comes to light in both concept and cooperation is the juxtaposition of elements; the past with contemporary, rural with urban and rustic with simplicity. Obsessing over clever solutions and creating functional details for our ever changing world is what inspires these designers. Their pieces demonstrate a focus on good, original and utopian design; creating objects that not only incorporate novel materials but is also available to all classes in society.
Menu keeps design fresh and exciting, using juxtapositions to show how intrigue can be created by clever contrasts. Most recently, Menu teamed up with Norm Architecture to create The New Norm Dinnerware, a set of tableware especially made for Höst, a new restaurant in Copenhagen. With Höst being a culmination of romanticism and modernity, the Nordic scenery and minimalism, it seems only fitting that Menu should design their table ware.
The tableware is entrenched in tradition and timeless Scandinavian aesthetic. The multiple parts, materials and colours present themselves as new ways of expression. The focal point of The New Norm Dinnerware is around the essential white plate, which can be toned down with a smaller blue or grey plate – or even a granite slab to create a new atmosphere.
What I find intriguing about this collection is how much detail is taken to invoke the Nordic scenery. The light blue glaze conjures up thoughts of the Nordic summer evenings. The dark blue and grey glaze represents the vivid seas and cloudy skies. The brown wood tones convey the forest’s profundity, warmth and sensuality while the texture of the stone plate recalls the image of Nordic mountains.
