20111108007

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.

20100106301

2009081825.jpg

Colorful, smart and functionally durable, the diminutive MP3 by Rho Jung Chan is one of the coolest designs because you couldn’t figure out how it is used unless you start it with a rotation.

Still unique is the easy way to enjoy music through wireless earphones.
