Pompous Poppy Bowl






This papiermaché bowl features a favourite design of mine that of Pompous Poppy, but there's only one available...to purchase it (plus other Alison Day Designs originals), visit my online shop here



Spin Wash



The prototype (2008), for a revolutionary new bathroom concept, thought up and designed by Ron Arad with bathroom Italian bathroom design brand Teuco

Two in one, the large cylindrical dish-shaped structure morphs from shower to bath in one, 180 degree turn. Initially saving on the purchase of multiple bathroom furniture pieces, but you really need a spacious bathroom to accommodate it.

How doodle-you-do?



Having spent a large amount of time travelling on trains and in planes recently, I seem to have developed into somewhat of a doodler extraordinaire. Oblivious to the world at large, often plugged into music, with continual pencil sharpens and never ending rivers of black ink. But finally, my inspiration began to wane. A bright suggestion from my niece that I use the outline of a hand to start, means that doodling has me in its grip once more. Here are the most recent to date. - Top hand's mine, bottom one's hers.

Art of Food



'US-based company Vapotrim has created an dessert-flavored e-cigarette-like inhaler, for those who want to taste their desserts without gaining weight.'


Available in 14 flavours and costing $9.95 (US) each. This way you can have your cake and eat it, but avoid the calories!


Using the technology of an e-cigarette it couples the taste-smell connection, making you feel full faster, thereby eating less and... ultimately losing weight!
