A Toaster Made Of Cinder Block And Rebar

via Co.Design:

Adi Zaffran’s toaster has five components: rebar rods, a cinder block, wood, a wire, and some fasteners.

Zaffran’s toaster is itself a reinterpretation of an elementary technology—the brick oven—using the common materials of contemporary construction. “The pita bread as a staple food led me to the use of simple and basic building materials,” says Zaffran, “It is very easy to make out of ready-made cement block.”
