FYI -- this is an old Shaker saying. They were masters at creating utilitarian objects of great simplicity, beauty and integrity. One of the all-time great "design" quotes.

Can't name the designer, but I saw this in a magazine a year ago or so. Swedish, probably Design House Stockholm, and a girl designed it, while still in design school. Interesting thing about it is that you've got no spill material cause you get two mirrored pieces out of each metalsheet.
