Jesse Howard and Thomas Lommée are the designer behind OS WaterBoiler. Coffee makers and water boilers are relatively simple machines, yet their workings are typically inaccessible to the user. Repair or even recycling becomes impossible: once the product ceases to function, it is rendered disposable. The OS Boiler explores an alternative approach to the design and production of these ubiquitous appliances. Based on the OS design principles, the WaterBoiler’s design and transparent construction invites users to adapt, repair, and combine with existing OpenStructures components. Smart!
