Cool concept by Dave Hakkens, a student at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

“I first wanted to make something so I could chew on my pen without making it dirty. When looking at the pen I noticed that you only use the ink, the other stuff is just there to hold filling more comfortable. Isn’t it possible to eat the whole cover? That was my goal, a pen where you can chew on and entirely eat. First gathered at a lot of pens and looked what makes it good to chew on.”

“With that information I made 3 different molds and started testing out different types of candy, the breaking point and which chew the best. When I found the shape and candy I made a final model in peppermint flavor. The candy which is used doesn’t stick on anything and doesn’t melt when it’s in your hans. (To get an idea: It has the same texture as candy bracelets.)It contains 22 pieces and is filled with edible ink. The only thing which isn’t edible is the small point where you write with. When finished you throw it away or put in in a new re-fill pen. “

Intelligent and aesthetically pleasing furniture transforms even the tiniest apartment or studio into a functional and comfortable living environment, and with room to spare!

“New-York-based Resource Furniture distributes Italian brand Clei and other European furniture manufacturers. The products Resource Furniture offers have a high level of design and engineering, with no compromises; there are no lumpy futon mattresses or ‘Grab lever A while holding switch B, then pull lever C’ complications. The engineering is completely invisible, as it ought to be, the transformations do not require science backgrounds to execute, and each piece serves each of its dual functions as well as if it were a standalone. On top of that, they look good.”
