Use the cake box as a spoon.

200912171001

Whenever asked by the others with the same question “what does a designer mean”, I will always refer to the greatest difference between designers and us. It is the observation ability and imagination ability. Obviously they see more and they think more, than us. And this time, the designers have decided to reproduce cake boxes, by changing the paper sheets on the box handles into spoons. Do you like that? [Read the rest of this entry...]

The 26 letters on the map.

20091217801

Rhett Dashwood is a CD (creative director) with much experience. From October 2008 to April 2009, he spent much time on the Google Earth to look for certain buildings or terrains that are shaped like the 26 letters. Half a year later, Rhett Dashwood finally succeeded and right here are his discoveries—26 terrains from Victoria State, Australia make up an alphabet. Bravo! [Read the rest of this entry...]

Quote/Unquote Bookends

20091217701

“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.” What the well-known dramatist and author George Bernard Shaw said long ago has made us realize the importance of intercommunion and communication. And reading is just an important type of exchanging the ideas. [Read the rest of this entry...]

20091217601

So you’re an absent-minded person. And you’re ill. And it’s time to take medicine. But you are not looking for the pills—you’ve totally forgotten that. Many humans forget to take medicine on time, and that’s why the “Medi Flower” is invented. As all the tablets are packaged into cute flower stands, you can place them in a conspicuous place, so that you may easily notice them and take your tablets at the right time.

A new solution for waking up.

20091217501

I just didn’t hear them, though the telephone rings and rings, the doorbell rings and rings, and the alarm rings and rings…Please forgive me. So that’s what you usually do to explain why you missed important dates or kept honored guests waiting outside, just because you didn’t hear the bell ring? Then why not try the wrist bracelets, which remind you of all the information from the phone, alarm or the doorbell, via sensations in your skin? You’re sure to love it.

Lamps aim to bring you with more light, but Katherine Semenko’s lamp does exactly the opposite.

20091217101

Everybody knows clearly why Thomas Alva Edison invented the electric lights, that is, to bring light to the night. If it has not been for the energy-conservation, lamps are generally expected to bring more and more light to our world. However, Katherine Semenko doesn’t think so. A lamp, in his opinion, should give out enough light while not irritating the user’s eyes. And that’s why Katherine Semenko has come up with the interesting new lamp, which provides less lighting than usual ones. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Itazura Bank

200912161001

Remember the Choken Bako Bank, an electric piggy bank that is shaped like a dog? This time, it is a lovely kitty that will impress you a lot. It is so cute!

It works in a way like this: when you place a coin onto the fish bone-shaped button, the naughty kitty will then open the lid with her head and grab the coin into the box with her paw. Cute! [Read the rest of this entry...]

Cupmen

20091216901

Seldom may we have instant noodle, right? But when we go on a trip, the pot instant noodle is more or less the best meal we can bring with. The Cupmen, therefore, are invented to hold down the paper lid. Reacting to heat, these Cupmen will gradually change their colors and by this means telling you when your noodle is done. Perhaps to manufactures, if they adopt the Cupmen as gifts attached to the noodle, their products will be more popular. Of course, it is merely a hypothesis, and my own.

Wind up the mouse, make it to work.

20091216601

Logitech is rather well-know for wireless mouse, not only because of its first-rate quality, but also due to the stylish shape. Perhaps next time we talking about Logitech’s product, we should also refer to its funny design. Inspired by wind-up toys, Logitech has come up with Sustail, a new wireless mouse that relies on the mechanical energy, which is produced when you wind it up. So just wind the mouse with the key, and then Sustail will be ready to work. [Read the rest of this entry...]
