Inventor shows off tableware

A Manx inventor has unveiled his latest furniture creations

A Manx-based inventor and designer has unveiled his latest creations – and it’s nothing to do with time!

Dr John Taylor is best-known for his clocks such as the Corpus Chronophage in Cambridge, but at a design event in China he was also showing off his tableware and furniture.

The Elliptical Collection was featured at Design Shanghai, and takes its inspiration from the Solar System to produce a unique set of crockery and glassware.

Dr Taylor says he thought it was a shame all tableware is the same conventional, circular shape.
