2009111312

Open field, open waters, open streets and, of course open trains…that’s just what we’ve gaped after. So the Suburban Train is invented. It features the conversion of seats for the masses. Hence, simply by folding it up, you could easily transform a comfortable seat for sitting into a half seat for leaning. As shown below in the photos, you would then have more space in the train, and that’s really perfect! [Read the rest of this entry...]

On the Road, On the Table

2009111301

Someday, I went to visit one of my friends, who works as a traffic policeman. We sat down, noticing that a road sign is placed on the table.

Cup Communicator

2009111227

“Hello, this is saya, and who’s that?” When we were still kids, most of us had the same experience to call others, not through telephones but two cups attached with a long piece of string. And it is rightly the classic toy that brings us much fun. That’s also why we may feel quite familiar with the “Cup Communicator” presented here. But obviously the new product is based on the digital technology. When you want to talk to your friends, just tune into a certain channel and then a conversation is allowed.
