# Reimagined Curiously Functional Products The New DIDIM Design Series Honors Everyday Objects By Amy Duong | Published 2024-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/didim References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2024/02/14/antiquated-tools-reinterpreted-as-delightful-everyday-products/)  A team of designers comprised of Dami Seo, Dohui Kim, and Dong Kyun Kim joined forces to create a new DIDIM series of unique items. The capsule features three products -- all of which are inspired by practical purposes and historical tools that connect humanity. Starting with the DIDIM_Stand Light draws inspiration from fire-lit lamps but is altered to have a modern language. The light is a tall [floor lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engrid-desk-lamp) and the illumination dangled from a metal bar -- it is battery-powered and has a waved cantilever. The [DIDIM_Alarm Clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-oclock) blends two concepts of what looks like a well and a bell rises instead of a water basket. However, it is not a real bell, it is [a speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-craftmanship-a-new-world) and to silence it, users have to hit the 'bell.' It is rounded out by the DIDIM_Tray inspired by old grinding stones that 'grinds' open to see fan-shaped trays for storage.
