James McAdam’s projects are definitely high on concept. I love the ‘Good Morning Pillow’ (shown above) which leaves a message for your significant other imprinted on your face in the morning.

Sarah Van Gameren’s design explores the manufacturing process and how accidents can also be beautiful. She is currently the designer in residence at the London Design Museum. Shown above are samples of her work ‘Big Dipper’ which shows the process of creating candles using complex clockwork machinery.

If you’re in London you can go and see her work at the Design Museum or I noticed yesterday a big dipper machine in a shop next to Design Guild on Kings road.
