Like Legos for Interior Designers Posted: 26 Sep 2008 03:11 AM CDT These polypropylene leaves, dubbed Maria by the designer Luca Nichetto, just look plain fun to play with. Secured together by small pins through the leaves’ joint holes, users can build and create their own unique room partitions, window shades, or whatever you can think of. The distributor, Casamania, also offers an “additivated” version which changes color depending on temperature, so stick ‘em outside and watch the seasons change.

Tiny Chaser in my Hand Posted: 26 Sep 2008 01:23 AM CDT Yuri Suzuki counts the headlights on the highway at 33.3 RPM. This little yellow car does only one thing: click the white button on and it runs along tracks of vinyl, playing the music it runs along as it goes. Tracks of vinyl? That is madness! Instead of race track for race cars, music tracks for Sound Chaser. Designer Yuri Suzuki puts it like this: “A train-style record player. Soundchaser is a new way of playing the sounds on records. Resembling something like a 'musical scalectrix'; pieces of vinyl records are connected together to make a track. The record pieces are from cheap vinyls bought at jumble sales or second-hand record shops. This record player revives forgotten, old records.” Way neat. Although this is sort of like a backwards step in music-player engineering, the imagination does turn up a few uses for it. I imagine a supremely talented or insane DJ creating a party mix like a hobby train collector creates a track; “DJ Conductor on the mix with the 300 feet beats!” Designer: Yuri Suzuki Yuri Suzuki

Crystal Comb Posted: 25 Sep 2008 03:59 PM CDT It is really amazing how bees make honey. It is even more amazing how delicious natural honey is straight out of the honey comb. Yar Rassadin, Russian designer, has captured this honey making process with the Beehouse Lamp. The lamps honey-filled cells are created from honey-yellow Swarovsky crystals and the comb is made from white bend plastic- a brilliant depiction of a honeycomb. Designer: Yar Rassadin Yar Rassadin
