Tank Top Safe

20100930301

Well, well, although the Tank Top Safe is believed “a clever design to protect your cash and jewelry from thieves”, I really doubt its practicality, because thieves may take away your clothes if they find nothing of value! But to return, it’s still creative to make a safe that resembles a woman’s tank top. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Rotating Squares Table

20100929201

Just look at the Rotating Squares Table, it’s obviously another piece of furniture meant for the “must-have” of your grocery lists. Constructed from 16 small squares, the table can open up to 1.4 times of its original size when these small squares are moved. Maybe also due to that magic rotating squares method, the table wears a surprising price of more than £2000 though it is simply made from oiled birch plywood. So the price must have made the table “one of the most expensive pieces” in your furniture collection, too. [Read the rest of this entry...]

One, two, three, four, well, I can see clearly how many teeth you have with the help of the weird communication prosthesis designed by Sascha Nordmeyer. But according to the designer, the unique red circle is actually created to hold one’s mouth open and therefore help him/her to form strange expressions just like those shown in the pictures.

Kickin Rocking Chair

20100928101

Embedded with the inspiration of social and cultural meanings of teasing, the Kickin from Jamie Yeo is an innovative piece of furniture that can help to bring people close to each other. When used individually, the furniture is just like a rocking chair for one person, but accommodates two or more people when several individual ones are combined together. Or you can bring many of these together and create yourself a cozy bed. Well, all that sounds so good. [Read the rest of this entry...]

SEIL Bag Concept

20100926201

For years turn signals have been protecting cars and car drivers, but now Lee Myung Su is making headway in creating a clever solution for cyclists’ safety. The SEIL (Safe Enjoy Interact Light) bag concept features an LED-equipped backpack that is controlled by a detachable wireless remote to let others on the road know when you’d like to make a turn or brakes, so as to reduce the possibility of crashes. Really a nice idea and I just wonder if the concept can also be used for pedestrians so that more and more people can be kept from the accidents. [Read the rest of this entry...]
