I just found a variety of vegetarian salad dressings, the flavours sounding extremely tasty. I'm not a fan of salad dressings unless they're homemade but I'd give these a go. Click the link below to find out more.

Tiffany Threadgould
ReplayGround is the brainchild of Tiffany Threadgould's recycled designs. A graduate from Pratt Institute Tiffany wrote her thesis entitled ' Thrash Nouveau-reincarnating garbage into usable products' which set her on the path to seeing waste as an invitation to creating something extraordinary, functional and sustainable.

This pendant lamp is one of my favourites, it's made out of recycled venetian blinds(the smaller version) and metal. It comes apart and can be packed flat for shipping or moving homes. I don't know if this is the only colour it comes in, any questions or shopping should be directed to Replay's site.

Another clever use of rubbish is this room divider made of over 1000 film canisters. and elastic. Again this is not only functional and beautiful but it's also very practical as it can be rolled up when not in use or again if you're moving you it makes for easy shipping. I love this piece it's probably my favourite due to the photographic reference.
Collaborations I would like to see: Le Corbusier, Decorati

Slow your roll

Think magazine's blog is officially out of hiatus, so here goes. I recently purchased a new laptop that I desperately needed for business and well as pleasure. Now I understand that laptops tend to last around 2hrs without tradional energy, and mine is no exception, but I felt 2hrs may not be enough time in some circumstances.

The Brunton solar roll flexible solar panel can be used for computers, cameras and mobile phones. It comes with a car and a multi linking cable which should allow you to power up any of your rechargable devices. On their site it did not list MP3 players but I would suggest sending an email to the company.

The solar roll is available in three different sizes varying in price. Works in low lighting and takes up very little room. Just think you'll never run out of energy...ever.
