John Caswell

Sometimes conceptual artists make pieces you would never consider actually using in your home. In fact, we’ve featured a couple of those on this site. But we could see ourselves finding a place for nearly each of product designer John Caswell‘s items in our own abode because they aren’t terribly intrusive. In fact, they would probably make mundane tasks easier, or at least more pleasant. For instance, his “taps” transform common water faucets into new, useful products like bottle openers and corkscrews. The “60 bpm” clock combines the great taste of laser-etched vintage records and telling time. A handful of his pieces are in production, but for other items such as the ceramic, ghostlike speakers, the English artist is still actively seeking out manufacturers. We can’t imagine he’ll be waiting long.
