A trip to Jasper Morrison’s understated Shoreditch store is something of a pilgrimage for fans of industrial design. The tiny store was opened in 2008 in an unused corner of the British designer’s studio and sells a variety of what the designer labels “Super Normal” anonymous objects, like stainless-steel kettles or pairs of secateurs for citrus fruit, chosen as much for their looks as their superior performance.

And motivation? The same thing. We learn from those around us. If parents don’t exercise and become positive role models, it’s likely their children will follow suit.

For every 100 decent items you can find online, there are only one or two that stand-out — the really cool products with five-star reviews that prove they’re actually worth your time.

While Caruso St John—architects of the recent Tate Britain Milbank site expansion—created Damien Hirst’s 37,000-square-foot Newport Street Gallery, when it came to designing the gallery’s restaurant, Hirst took full artistic control.

A: It’s safe to wash stainless-steel flatware in the dishwasher, but don’t use a citrus-based detergent. Stainless-steel flatware should be washed soon after it is used in order to avoid stains. If you are running the dishwasher only every few days, wash the flatware by hand on the days you aren’t running it. Don’t soak the flatware for a long time. To avoid spots, dry thoroughly with a soft dish towel instead of letting it air dry. Stainless steel can be cleaned with silver polish.
