As i'm sure you've seen by now, i've been on a bit of a research project on bird feeders this morning, storing my finds on notcot.org ~ and the full roundup is now up ~ should we design our own for NOTConcept?
Examining post mortem issues ~ Nadine Jarvis' bird feeder is made from bird food and human ash! "The person is reincarnated through the life of the bird."
Eva Solo still makes some of the simplest prettiest feeders ~ including the award winning Birdtable (also comes in mini form) - that resembles a decanter flipped upside down.
The Menu Feeder String - The cord has hard plastic tips, making it easy to thread balls or other foods, such as apples, onto the cord. Interesting alternative to standard bird feeders...
Adorably simple (and slightly deathstar looking) Birdball peanut birdfeeder from Green & Blue - Slipcast in clay. Stainless steel wire. (also in lime and blue)
Also from Perch ~ this is Amy Adam's 2007 bird feeder design "Lunchbox" ~ also made with low-fire ceramic - and a sturdy nylon ribbon in light blue, brown, or orange.
Birdfeeder handmade by Perch! in Brooklyn, designed by Amy Adams out of low-fire ceramic, non toxic glaze, and natural leather cord... designed in 2002
Level Vodka invited Hussein Chalayan to design The Level Tunnel... a 15 meter long, 5 meter high, traveling installation that captures the essence of Level Vodka, that is currently in Mexico City.
The New Jawbone is here... and no, its not the Jawbone 2... but the new little jawbone, rather! Finally! Small enough to not take over your face... and has new "noise ASSASSINATION" technology...
