Weird Chair

20100115601

The picture has startled you? Well, that happened to me, too. Shaped like a blood drop, the chair is weird enough and I really couldn’t imagine who will set such a chair at home. Even so, the chair is still believed to ensure you a more comfortable seating. Try it and tell us if that’s true. [Read the rest of this entry...]

20100115501

The Whale Faucet Fountain is obviously the number one choice for the bathroom use, as it eliminates the possible harm hurt by the faucet when you’re washing your hair in the sink. Have a look at the cute blue whales, and they’re really popular among both kids and adults. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Shelf Light

20100115401

What is the best time for bookworms? It must be those cozy nights spent with their favorite books, in the company of their favorite lamps. So nothing could be better than the Shelf Light if you’re planning to send a bookworm a special gift, because they can read books whenever they’re sitting before the table lamp.

KeyThing keeps keys.

20100115301

Door keys, car keys, as well as various keys to open those cabinets both at home and office, oh God, which key on hell is the key you’re really looking for? It disappears. But when you don’t need it, the key then appears again. So you really need something to help you keep those keys in place and our suggestion is the #8 KeyThing, a piece of rubber full with grippy port holes. As a result, you can find your keys easily as long as you remember to mount them in place. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Panasonic Compact Digital Cameras

20100115101

Panasonic compact digital cameras can remember and recognize you! You don’t believe that? Well, you must have a look at Panasonic’s four cameras, the DMC-FX40, DMC-FX550, DMC-TZ7 and DMC-FT1. They can track the subjects and take a picture of them automatically, and that’s why the cameras are believed to have the ability to recognize certain people. Apart from that, the users are also allowed to input their names and ages into the camera, so that these digital devices can always keep a track on you. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Use the palm of your hand as a notepad.

201001141101

Notepad is not the only thing we use to take down important information and in fact, most of us still prefer to write down something directly on the palms of our hands. That’s really a more convenient way to take notes but what about cleaning them? Yep, it bothers everyone a lot. So the ‘Pen+Sprayer’ system seems like a better choice. It features a spray which contains specialized chemical and when you spray some onto the palm of your hand, you’ll find a make-shift writing surface later there for you to take down messages. Just spray, wait and then you can doodle whatever you like on your skin, that’s so easy! [Read the rest of this entry...]

Air Umbrella by Je Sung Park

201001141001

Air Umbrella is not a real product but a concept that uses a sheet of steady air as the canopy! It features a hollow stick which absorbs in and blows out air to form a barrier between you and the raindrops. And the better point is that, the size of the air canopy could be easily changed to meet your different needs through a simple work. Isn’t that magic? After the thing gets real, not only we’ll change the way to use an umbrella, but the definition of the word ‘umbrella’ may be changed, too. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Let’s be friends!

20100114901

“Let’s be friends!” That’s really a simple sentence but on the other hand difficult for us to say in most cases. So why not have the aid of ‘Confluence Sofa’ designed by Philippe Nigro? As you’ve already seen above, it’s a set of sofas that could be either used individually or connected to each other as an integrated one. Therefore you would shorten the distance from others when having a chat on so ‘intimate’ a sofa. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Drip Hooks

20100114801

Next time you find some bloodstains on the wall, you should see twice before screaming with fear. Why, you may ask, I said that at the beginning of the article. That’s all because we’ll introduce something that would frighten you a bit at the first sight. They’re the Drip Hooks, shaped like a pool of blood running down the wall. Made of powder coated steel, these odd hooks will also give your wall a new look apart from hanging the towels, keys and other gadgets. Still couldn’t bear the striking red color? Well, the Drip Hook is also available in white that seems not so weird. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Matchbox-shaped Mobile Storage Device

20100114701

Inspired by matchboxes, the so-called ‘Phillu’ mobile storage device not only shapes like a matchbox but functions in almost the same way as the matchbox and its matches. And inside the box, there’re 9 removable match-shaped sticks, which separately could carry 5GB of data. That’s not enough, as ‘Phillu’ also allows you to transfer date from the sticks to another ‘Phillu’ easily by striking the heads of the sticks along the striker. So even without the help of a computer, we could always share the data with others if we’re using the ‘Phillu’ Mobile Storage Device. [Read the rest of this entry...]

FILS Sound Film

20100114601

Transparent, flexible, then what is the item actually used for? Have you guessed right? It’s a speaker! Developed by Korean electronics manufacturer FILS, the transparent speaker is made from piezoelectric film and therefore can produce sound waves whenever the electrical current is applied. Pity that the FILS Sound Film is still just a concept, but if the thing gets real, you’ll know its outstanding characteristics as well as we do.

Training the cats to use your toilet is possible.

20100114501

Why has nobody considered training their cats to use the toilets, but still using the stupid litter box? Of course litter boxes have their advantages and do help a lot to keep your room clean, but you must also have spent much time tidying and changing the litter. So, forget that, and you should have a look at the ‘Kitter Kwitter’, a toilet seat specially designed for your cats. And believed by the manufacture, any cat is clever enough to learn using the toilet quickly, if with the help of ‘Kitter Kwitter’. [Read the rest of this entry...]

A Girl Holding Flowers

20100114301

Driven by the instinct for the beauty, girls love to stick flowers in their hair or hats even until these days. Possibly inspired by that, the designer has brought us these lovely vases that are shaped like a young girl with a hat on. So when you put some roses into the vase, you may feel as if you’re sticking some flowers into your little sisters’ hat. [Read the rest of this entry...]
