Piano Table

20100303901

In my humble opinion, the design seems like a terrible idea, resulting needless complexity since the piano may get wet if you carelessly pour water on the table… Of course, you won’t agree with me, if you’re just in the necessity to place a bulky piano inside your small department. So consider it for a second, the idea of the Piano Table seems quite valuable. So you like it? For $6000, you still like it? OMG! [Read the rest of this entry...]

Electric Bike Concept

20100302501

Look! This new electric bike seems like a slab. It generates the power from a Lithium-ion Battery, which is always used by electric cars, to make the bike work much longer. When driven by electricity, the bike sets both of the pedals at the low position, which is a suitable position for riders. Moreover, it holds a compartment for the rider to store his/her portable gadgets, such as laptop, cellphone, iPod and more. The most interesting point is that, when connected to your laptop (stored in the compartment), the bike would access to the internet and show you the route through the integrated upfront screen.

Keep2Green

20100129301

Simpler but practical designs are always popular and today we’ll show you another ‘we should have thought of that before’ product. It is the ‘Keep2Green’ pot by Paul Gribincea. The concept about it is quite simple: the system makes a full use of the space and water by planting some grass beneath the hanging pot. So you’ve gotten that? Good. Mainly made from metal, ‘Keep2Green’ is heavy enough to withstand moderate winds and holds the flower pot steadily in the air. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Tamrac’s new ZipShot tripod

2009112804

Do not look down on the role Tamrac’s new ZipShot tripod can play. Exactly it is an ultra compact and light gadget when folded up, measuring 38cm long and 312g weight. But the moment it opens, the little guy then turns into a 112cm-high tripod and support DSLRs up to 1361g in weight.

One-foot Stairs

2009071438

How long can you balance on one foot? The moment I saw the special wooden stair, that question occurred to me. Look carefully, it’s a set of stairs made for only one foot! No wonder it’s conceived as a clever method to save space. Finally, I have to remind you that remember to start from your left foot whenever you go up/down stairs. Do mind what you’re told.
