Wallets/purses - p+g designs POCHI
http://www.pgdesign.us/index.aspx#.VW6HbUYe3Mc
The concept for the POCHI came to me when I was searching for new ideas at a five-and-dime store and saw some coin purses. I've always loved the traditional Japanese coin purses made with pretty fabrics and the ones they had at that store were very cute. That's when it struck me: What if we made coin purses out of silicone? An image popped into my head (roughly the same thing as what we ended up selling), and I thought to myself, "This will definitely be cute!"It was in June 2008, at my very first in-house planning meeting, that I brought up the idea for the POCHI. All of my colleagues liked my proposal, so we began thinking about how to bring it to the market and we started developing the product. The theme of the planning meeting had been "sundries made of silicone." Up until that point, there had been a lot of kitchen goods made with silicone, and they always looked cheerful and colorful in shops, so we were trying to think of other ideas that might work.

Ikuyo Ejiri Talks About the Birth of POCHI

The first prototype didn't match that mental image I had at all, but I remember how happy I felt to see my first design come to life. Because there was no metal frame, though, the clasp was really wobbly. There was no way that you could close it.

Crafts - Modern twist
Modern-twist is a San Francisco Bay Area based company that has pioneered the use of pure food-grade, hand-silk screened silicone. " Bringing elegance to a new innovative material ". Kat Nouri conceived of the idea for Modern-twist from her deep belief in, what we eat on should be as pure and wholesome as what we eat. She found the company name by fashioning a "modern-twist”—innovating aesthetically inspiring home products that are made with pioneering materials which are safe for people and the planet. Kat's vision transpired thanks to her unique upbringing with a respect for organic farming and nutrition, her experience as a US manufacturer with a background in marketing and sales, and ultimately her innate sense for design.
In 2005, Modern-twist was the first company to produce strikingly beautiful hand-silk screened products for the home. Kat believed in her quest for innovative, functional, sustainable based materials—and she found it in 100% pure based food grade silicone. Silicone is a man made polymer consisting of some of the most abundant recources on the planet such as sand and oxygen, and it is unmatched in its functional properties of heat and water resistance. At Modern-twist we take great pride in partnering with suppliers that produce the finest silicone in the world—nonporous/germ free and without any latex, vinyl, or phthalates.
Every single product Modern-twist manufactures is individually cured, and hand silk-screened. Making every single product unique. We are the only company producing pure based silicone in a fabric like material that is memory-free (will not crease) with and incredibly silky soft feel to the touch. Thus recognized internationally for having one of the most innovative products in the marketplace. Kat and the Modern-twist team hope to continue to motivate others through good design and a sustainable out of the box approach to producing products that are safe for People and the planet.
