Swiss power-designers Martino D'Esposito and Alexandre Gaillard are immersed in the very hot, very "now" conceptual design movement, uniting industrial design, fine arts, and production within each of their thought-provoking objects. A prime example of their style is the Snorkel water jug manufactured by French housewares maker Cinna. At first glance, Snorkel's unusual containment method lures a curious user to come closer, secretly illustrating the Principle of Communicating Vessels, a definition that in most cases eludes common knowledge. The borosilicate pitcher holds liquids both in its body and handle, resulting in a playful visual statement when filled.
