Life Sack - Innovative Grain Sack


The main problem of third world’s crisis is to get food and fresh water supply. World wide charities such as World Vision have sent common supplies such as grain, packed in sacks. Based on this information, three Korean industrial designers have ingenious idea to redesign the sack. Life Sack is a sack that can also work as a water purifier kit. After grain is stored, they can reuse the sacks to purify water. Life Sack uses SODIS (Solar Water Disinfection Process) technology to filter contaminated water.

The UV-A-radiation and thermal treatment will kill deadly microorganisms and bacteria in water. It is hoped that this design can help providing more sufficient amount of clean water for the people in Africa.
Designer : Jung Uk Park, Myeong Hoon Lee, and Dae Youl Lee

Charles and Marie InsideOut Champagne Glasses


Rethinking the classic shape, Charles and Marie have created a beautiful and functional object d’art. Easier to hold and slower to warm, Inside Out glasses will always add a fashionable touch to your celebration.
The InsideOut Collection of barware turns the common knowledge of what a drinking glass should look like on its head. In AMT's collection of barware, the well known and oftentimes iconic shapes of glasses are hidden behind a neutral and discreet outer shape, unassuming and simple. But once you pour the drink, the glass' inner identity appears creating an unusual and highly fascinating effect.
Besides the visual beauty, there is another extremely convincing argument: your drink simply doesn't warm as fast as it would in a normal champagne glass as you are not touching it at all and if you really want it cold, chill the glasses in the freezer and create an amazing visual presentation…


The glasses are all handmade, are 1.5" (3,8 cm) wide and 9.25" (23,5 cm) high and come in a set of 2.
