BEN UYEDA's coffee scapes

Today I wanted to introduce you all to a great inspiration to me: Ben Uyeda!

Ben Uyeda is a designer, lecturer, and entrepreneur focusing on the field of affordable and sustainable design!

He is also the main man behind home made modern

HomeMade modern is an online design source that publishes easy-to-follow DIY recipes for creating modern and stylish home furnishings. 

If you've not checked it out yet, you should!

HMM is full of creative ideas for making affordable alternatives to pricey designer home goods and cheap, plastic and particle-board junk! 

HomeMade Modern's goal is to inspire and encourage people to create heirloom quality goods with naturally durable materials and showing people how to make sturdy furnishings made from real materials like solid wood, concrete and steel

Ben is a genius, often using unusual solutions, like using lego bricks and other household objects to create moulds used to cast up concrete for some of his creations! Ben has been a huge inspiration to me, and today , as a way of introduction, I want to show you his first 3 projects in his #coffeescape series:

Lego mould concrete coffee maker

copper coffee maker

Pipe coffee maker

How cool are these?? I will be making one of these for sure, just need to decide which one!
Apart from materials like wood, concrete, copper and pipes , the basis for Ben's coffee scapes are the glass filter funnel! Head on over to HomeMade modern for Ben's tutorials on how to make these + a huge amount of other gorgeous projects you can make for your home: From furniture to decorative home accessories with a modern flavor!!
