There’s no need to spell out why this waffle iron rocks harder than most. Fleeing the cubicle for the kitchen, this iron lets you cook up a keyboard of tasty carbs every morning. Designed by Chris Dimino as part of a group exhibit for the School of Visual Arts, the typewriter iron represents the best of reinvention: an obsolete product, minimally modified, is given a completely new function. It just wouldn’t be as fun (or as green) if the typewriter’s metal and plastic were melted down and turned into another forgettable appliance. Visit Chris’s site for more proof that a little whimsy is often the key (had to) to recycled design that stands on its own.
