From their studio in the heart of London, Black + Blum designers Dan Black and Martin Blum create products for the home and office, combining ruthless practicality with an intellectually-satisfying design aesthetic meant to charm and entertain. In this month’s Deconstruction , the duo provides us with a detailed look into the development of the Eau Good water bottle , which incorporates active charcoal to purify the water. They told us, “We were aware that by creating a water bottle, we had a chance to combat the environmental impact that bottled water has on the planet. Over 22 billion plastic water bottles are discarded around the world every year.

I met designer Luca Nichetto this past September when Foscarini invited Design Milk on a trip to its home office in Italy, and a tour of the Venice Biennale . Nichetto was one of four Foscarini designers, including past Friday Fivers Vicente Garcia-Jimenez and Ionna Vautrin , to join the group of bloggers to discuss not just their own works, but the hallmarks of good design overall. In addition to creating five lamp styles for Foscarini , Nichetto has designed items in pretty much every home category, including furniture for Casamania and Moroso, Venini vases, and even a porcelain sink and tub. For Friday Five , Nichetto revisits his youth and looks around at his everyday world.
