The Garlic Card

Invented by Herman Rasmuson and designed by Lisa Flodin - The Garlic Card is a wallet sized garlic grater made of plastic embossed with alternating letter Gs and Cs.

Swedish chef Herman Rasmuson one day took out a credit card and began rubbing a clove of garlic against the embossed lettering. Voila! In almost no time, he had turned the clove into a uniform paste. Then, fortuitously, he decided to wash the card (not wanting to fragrance his wallet with a permanent garlic aroma), and was amazed how easily the card cleaned with just a warm-water rinsing. From there, the concept for GarlicCard was born.

I first saw these cards in Sibler and thought they wer Pantone swatches ;)

Philippe Starck's Mini Juicy Salif | Alessi

I got myself a miniature version of Philippe Starck's Juicy Salif lemon squeezer.

The original Juicy Salif was designed by Philippe Starck in 1990 and is probably one of the most instantly recognizable pieces ever to come out of Alessi.
