Need/Want glass : not for the greedy

By squirrelbait - April 9, 2007

Those with eyes bigger than their thirst will be more than sorry when they're sprayed in the face with their own greed. Alesina Design's witty need/want glass physically illustrates the very serious issue of unbridled overconsumption.

Jeannie is a true jack-of-all trades, looks forward to a day gone swimmingly, and finds joy in all things awesome. Brilliant art, rocking the renegade music scene, conjuring up haute designs, other people's hot designs, tasty salad, trashy magazines and unicorns are some of the many things she is passionate about.

the proportions are completely backwards. What we need is very little what we want is a lot.

Isn't this very old?

even earlier than the pin-cushion?

I drink my water out of a shot glass, just to make sure I don't have too much.
