Hangman Droplight

2009082821.jpg

I’m not at all a morbid kind of person, but I really like the Hangman Droplights. Seemingly the same as sunny dolls, the hangman light actually conveys a cruel but healthy meaning, that is only you save up your time that you have verily cherished your life. Having this in mind, maybe you wouldn’t mind hanging such a weird lamp in your room.

Skillfully designed, the rob-like floor lamps by Hansandfranz are adjustable and smart enough to fit any circumstances, even if it’s a cramped one.

That’s it, as the boundless universe is full of strange things, now some people have come up with the idea to dress up furniture! But it’s quite a decent creation, right? Even if you don’t like the practice to keep out dust with it, you’re sure to love with the tricks to make an exiting chair into a sofa with one piece of such “sofa-dress”. Interesting!

Electra-Pour

2009082829.jpg

It probably because drinking is so frequently concerned that the Electra-Pour bottle top is believed to be a good help in drunkest hours. However, I suppose it to serve better when guiding us to distributing beverage into small-open bottles from a huge one. Also equipped with a LED light, Electra-Pour will illuminate the liquid to ensure a precise pour even in the dark. Maybe it will be more popular if the bottle top could be used to distribute solid matters like spices. Really utilitarian product!

Started up in 2009, the eye-writer project is an important research program that aims to benefit numerous people suffering from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Tony Quan is one of the first users. In 2003, due to ALS, Tony almost became completely physically paralyzed except for his eyes. Luckily, he met up with the Eye-writer, which allows Tony to draw with his eyes. Eye-writer is composed of kinds of electrical components, such as sunglasses, a micro CCD camera, IR LEDs, custom software, a capture card, a computer, etc.

Multi-Pot

2009082705.jpg

Though named as a multi-pot, the bucket-shaped lamp is also one of those stylish gadget chargers you’ve ever met. Look, with a built-in LED, the multi-pot lights up your room from inside with a soft glow, so cozy! When opening it, you can then find 5 power outlets under the lid. As the bucket is big enough to contain different cords, your devices will be kept neatly and safely inside it.

‘Shavings’ Stool

2009082607.jpg

Honestly, the ’shavings’ stools from Israeli have reminded me of the corks commonly-used in medicine bottles, but they’re certainly not that fragile. To make it both fashionable and firm, Yoav Avinoam has managed to press the sawdust with resin in a mold and combine other parts with it to create a non-waste stool.

Mantis Coffee Table

2009082627.jpg

Yea different people have different tastes, but obviously no one will mind living more comfortable, for example, maybe we could do one thing using hands while another thing with  feet? After all, it’s really too boring to reach for the remote when we’re busing with potato chips! Then you’re sure to love the mantis coffee table. With queen-size buttons built on its surface, the coffee table allows you to control your TV simply with your feet. Nice!

Rain Water Filtering System

2009082630.jpg

Though I used to imagine that one day we could simply raise our heads up to drink water directly, I’ve never thought that day would come so soon. Named as “Sky Water”, the spacey looking device can collect rain water through the ring, filter it in the holding tank and then drive fresh water out from the bottom. It is really a good product that deserves our expectation over the years.

The Poo Trap for Dogs

2009082638.jpg

Not that we lack patience, but it’s too waggish to run after the dogs to clean up their excrements. However, the portable toilet especially designed for dogs say: No poops, no oops! Composed of a bracket and a plastic bag, the product can be attached to your dog’s tail to collect their feces. Okay, now it’s your dog’s turn to follow you docilely instead of running around to look for a toilet.

“Play” Cologne

2009082639.jpg

What do you think the article is? Obviously it seems to be a player, but it is more than that. Dubbed as “Play”, the product is actually Givenchy’s latest perfume in a PMP-style package. As its name “Play” refers to both the player-like appearance and an attitude to life, we may find more fun with the perfume.

Turtle Shell Bag

2009082619.jpg

We’re living in the sewer, and our favorite food is pizza; we’re Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and we’re your heroes: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You see, the new bag has just reminded me of those happy days with the classical cartoon “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”. Though we couldn’t own a useful shell as Donatello and his companions, we do can now with the turtle shell bag. Based on a three-dimensional polygon system, the backpack is tougher than it weighs, protecting your items more efficiently. Hooray!
