Maarten De Cuelaer, Balloon bowls at Mint for the London Design Festival

Just browsing through Mint  shop website as I often do and I came across a wonderful post on their blog with a video of the process by which Maarten makes his plaster balloon bowls. Do go and watch because its fascinating and a true example of the creative process in action and where it can lead.

It would be interesting to show artistic children too as it shows how to think of a different application for an everyday object, and also the bowls are very beautiful.

Mint have an exhibition running till September 30th to tie in with the London Design Festival full of wonderful innovative ideas.
