Krenit bowls
Gorgeous Krenit bowl's, created by Herbert Krenchel in the 1950's, If you have always wanted one of these or are already an avid collector, you will already know how beautiful these bowls are. Made from steel, the insides are enamelled, and the outside have a matt black mixture which is formed using cement, hence the name Krenit. Krenit is a combination of the name Krenchel and eternit (fiber cement).
In 1954, the bowl won a gold medal for its unique design in Triennalen (Milano, Italy). Production stopped in 1966.
The krenit bowl is simply a design classic, modern, functional and yet truely beautiful,
We currently have one krenit bowl left in our online shop, I really don't mind in nobody ever buy's it, that way I can look at it for a little bit longer.

Colani Elephant money boxes, How to tell how old they are ?
Designed by Luigi Colani for Dresners Bank in Germany in the 1960s, these money boxes have become a design icon, and are becoming increasingly sort after.
There is alot on confusion for buyer's, over the different types on Elephants. So here's some help.......
This Elephant is not a reproduction, its a second generation original 1970s, it has the "Dresdners Bank" logo marked on the base, small original elephants are also unopenable. ( +Very rare)
1st generation originals are made of a softer plastic, they have the Dresdner logo inbetween the legs on the smaller elephants, (these are like gold dust, & Very very rare) , but usually quite worn, with eyes missing.
90's reproductions still precious, but not quite as rare, these have no logo, and have a black plastic base which can be opened.
Some people like new things, some like old worn things, some like shiney things, but i think buyers have a right to know what they are buying.
