toasta!

i really love this toaster, or "toasta," winner of the designboom/macef "ceramics for breakfast" design competition. from the designer, george watson:

this toaster is designed to engage the user, re-invigorating the social context of toasting by questioning everything about what we toast with today. i was also keen to make playful object to be proud of having on your breakfast table. this is a toaster that brings life and joy to a stagnant domestic appliance... .

i could probably will spend hours going through the other entries.
