Stinking Lazy Slobs Don’t Sweat

Posted: 18 Mar 2009 01:46 AM PDT

Laundry Haters here is an easy route for escape, make friends with the folks at Scenario Lab and ask them to ship down the Deodr for you. This lampshade contraption will make sure that you won't have to do any laundry EVER, except if get clumsy and stain your clothes! Perfectionists don’t wrinkle your nose in disgust, hear the idea through. Deodr is a convenient way to freshen up clothes without having to wash them. The system uses a photocatalyst light tube and fan-induced convection to get rid of the Body Odors and make clothes smell like spring!

Besides saving on water, detergent costs and washing machine costs, the system promises to be gentle on fabrics and the environment as well. To work it, you simply need to hang the clothes within the lampshade and set the controller to start. Within 15 to 30 minutes you can expect fresh smelling and "deodorized" set of clothes. Although Deodr uses a fabric-based lampshade, you can opt for any other design you choose to hang your clothes from.

I can already think of one person who could use this freshener coz he's really lazy at chores. But if you want to get wicked, gift it to someone who has major BO problems…maybe this will get the message across!

Someone Let the Snake Speaker Out of the Bag

Posted: 18 Mar 2009 12:02 AM PDT

What has one head, a shiny face, and hot beatz? YES! The correct answer is Timbaland. Timbaland, who can be played quite easily on these “Serpent Speakers” by designer Ben Wahrich. They bend and turn and sit and play dead. They stay bent, and can bend like crazy style all over your desk or table. My favorite option is turning them into what basically amounts to Hurcules Hooks - holding itself up with it’s own spine!

These also remind me of the artist KAWS toy called the “Bendy.” For a picture see [Minipop] (halfway down) or search [Kaws Bendy] on Flickr. -in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the inspiration.

I’ve got a pair of wireless speakers sort of like this - I imagine the ability to hang them from the ceiling without the use of rope or rubber-bands would be super neat.

Adult Bonzai Planters (SFW)

Posted: 18 Mar 2009 12:01 AM PDT

Have you ever walked through the park, looked to your right, and seen a man exposing himself to a rabbit? I have not. On the other hand, I have witnessed some strange public park activities. What designer Tristan Zimmermann (Science and Sons) has done is to take the wonders of public activities and mold them around the splendor of the bonsai tree. Potted plants will never be so innocent again!

Tristan Zimmermann is a man of class. So is Yanko. That’s why, if you want to see the rated 18+ planters, you’ll have to go to his Science and Sons website. Here (and there) you will see several of his “Park Planters” series in life-sized perspective to their bonsai occupants.

Ranging from dog walkers to flashers and muggers, no two scenes are alike ensuring the autonomy of each piece.

Material:
Ceramic, white, clear glaze

Dimensions:
6" x 6" x 12"

Autobiography Of An LED Lamp

Posted: 17 Mar 2009 11:59 PM PDT

Hi, my name is LED Lamp and my creator is not GOD. He's an award-winning industrial designer called Mikko Kärkkäinen and he designs stuff for his own company called Tunto. I'm a here because the guys at YD think I look flattering and their readers will appreciate me. They think my pa Mikko should send them some free samples of me, because they want to experience my "gentle touch and no visible switches" design. I doubt my pa will ever send me over there, unless they do a giveaway or something!

Ultimate iPod Dock

Posted: 17 Mar 2009 08:27 AM PDT

The E-Pod dock crams everything you need to get the most out of your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPod by acting as a speaker, movie projector, and alarm clock. It promises powerful hi-fidelity even those it’s not much bigger than a standard alarm clock. The most interesting feature is the projector. No info on how large, how bright, or how sharp the resolution but the entire thing does tilt. I see a few glaring problems with it tho. Do you?
