Knife Block

I saw this knife block (on the Vice Versa site, and thought it looked really good, if a bit macabre. Actually it reminded me of some of the Alessi products, which have always had that slightly rounded, tactile look about them.

The best are those that, similar to the knife block above, slightly humanise what are everyday products. Personal favourites are the garlic press, the gas lighter, the nail brush and the toothpaste tube cap. Inspired.
