Why mommy seems more popular than daddy among babies? Well, in fact, I respectively disagree with that. Daddies, who are usually young boys, are actually could attend their babies as well as mommies do, especially after they get the new baby wear. It adopts a special kind of heat-sensitive material as stain, and as a result, when the baby has a temperature higher than 37 Celsius, the clothes will turn white. So even if you’re a most-careless father, you’ll notice at once that something is going wrong with the baby. Three colors are available, including pink, blue and green.

We’ve been used to seeing through the windows from time to time, because in that way, we could learn clearly what is happening outside. And maybe that’s why windows are made of translucent glass. But this piece of glass not only tells us what is happening outside, but also what will happen in the future. Powered by solar energy, the cute gadget will show you any needed information when it is wirelessly connected to your computer. So next time you need weather reports, dates and flight information, check them out on your windows. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Nobody but those who are really too slim (but will any females feel themselves too slim?) may want to put on fat, and they look into any mirrors nearby to make sure that they look good. However, if they find themselves look a bit fatter in one of those mirrors, and then they’ll work hard at losing weight.

Hmmm, I have to say, Sunghee Park really knows better of those people, and therefore he put up a two-screen set of mirrors near the elevator. In that way, whenever they see a distorted figure of a fat person taking elevators in one mirror while a slim person taking the stairs in the other, people will surely take the stairs.

Oh, wait, there’s better! The displays could also be used to host advertisements when they turn idle. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Come on, and let us think of the same question in another way, or in an opposite way. To some extent, the cleaner your room is, the more rubbish you’ve put into the trash bin. You don’t think so?

The worldly famous sculpture ‘Venus de Milo’ has shocked everyone with her imperfect beauty, and inspired by that, Hye-Yeon Kim has come up with an innovative lighting system, by the name of ‘Broken Mirror Lights’. The cracks are shaped into different patterns, including a leaf, a swimming fish, etc, and they seem great as the light is shedding through those cracks. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Have you ever seen a lantern bigger than this? Measuring 12 feet wide and 63 inches deep, the Giant Chinese Lantern by Bart Lens is so huge that you can hardly associate it with the word “lantern” or “lamp”. And the point I love most is those paintings inside it (just as the picture below shows), as if the lamp is leading us into a more beautiful world. [Read the rest of this entry...]
