A Room With A View Posted: 06 Aug 2009 12:41 AM PDT Right from the Five-Star gilded service to behind the bushes; I've used many kinda bathrooms in my life. And the two things that contribute towards making an impressionable one are ambiance and cleanliness. At home, you would want to create a bathroom that's functional yet chic. Easy to maintain (ugh lime scales) yet classy. One such bathroom design that fits the bill is the Wavflow concept. Clean and uncluttered, the soft waves-like finishing creates a rejuvenating atmosphere. Materials Used: Blueish pearl white fiberglass as exterior of fixtures Brushed steel sheet as interior of fixtures Chrome steel faucets White ash wood hooks Silicone coating to prevent slippery surfaces Designer: Wei Chung Lee

Electrolux Kitchen 2099 Posted: 06 Aug 2009 12:01 AM PDT Any of you ever read those really weird “2099″ comics that Marvel Comics put out in the 1990s? Well here’s something even weirder. A kitchen based around the “Claytronic Atom” - teeny tiny (nanometer) silicium spheres (tiny little robots) that can reconfigure instantly to create basically whatever forms you want. See this silly video to learn more, then continue below for basically the greatest kitchen ever. The kitchen has a single form pre-programmed into it so that it can be displayed and installed. After that, the form can be changed by its owner. After the basic kitchen is owned, new models can be purchased and installed (kind of like applications, or “apps.”) The shape the kitchen takes when brought out of the store is a simple cube form. The cube can be transported easily, and set up simply in a range of different environments. The box contains cooking and cleaning equipment which take the shape of the instruments they need to include. The box contains heat conducting metal which can work with external tools (like pots and pans.) The box cleans itself as the substance that is the claytronic atoms absorbs the food waste and takes it to the proper garbage receptacle. Lots of other stuff, too! The kitchen has a memory for recipes, the kitchen is powered by H20 fuel cells, the kitchen loves you! Oh that’s a pretty big deal too: totally green!

Foam - Not Just for Airplanes Anymore Posted: 06 Aug 2009 12:01 AM PDT That’s right, it’s the “Airsquare” - designed by our pal Oliver Schick, and packaged ready for you to stack up a huge stack of them. But Chris! You might be saying, Chris why would I want that when I could just get something similar at Ikea! Well I’ll tell you: the 1 kilo to 15 kilo ratio. Yes indeed, the 1 to 15. 1 kilo is approximately 2.2 lbs, or 1000 grams, for those of you who aren’t into the drug trade. So for this low/medium weight shelf, we have a very heavy acceptance of weight. A 30 pound book is no laughing matter. On the bottom is “height adjustable powder-coated metal feet” that keep the system of blocks level on bumpy floors (like if you’re gonna have these thangs outside.) And then thin metal cube tops can be placed on top of the system if they’re going to be acting as sideboards or tabletops. And I like. That. Color! Designer: Oliver Schick

No More Overspills Even If You Are Blind Posted: 06 Aug 2009 12:00 AM PDT Try this, blindfold yourself and pour a glass of water without spilling it over. Ok, make this tougher, fill in exactly ¾ th cup. Tough? Yeah, that's how hard it is for the blind people to fill in mugs of beverages without spilling. Dipping the pinkie to anticipate the levels is ok for cold stuff, but what about scalding hot coffee! The Braun Bell Mug has 3 indicative levels on the handle and liquid-level sensors within the mug. The blind folks only need to choose their levels and keep pouring till the bell sounds. Designers: Sang-hoon Lee and Yong-bum Lim

Ten Creative and High-Tech Cups and Mugs Concepts Posted: 05 Aug 2009 10:42 AM PDT Emotional attachment with worldly goods in not healthy! Look at me; I'm a wreck coz I broke my favorite coffee mug. Curse the moment when it slipped outta my fingers and crashed into pieces. I know I can easily get a replacement, but a fav mug is a favorite mug! Ok, enuf of ranting now, I'm in the market for something new and exciting, so join me in a journey that brings out Ten Creative and Evolved Cups/Mugs, coz apparently some of em now host speakers and a comp! 10) Tea Bag Coffin by Jonas Trampedach Writer Chris has an interesting anecdote to his tea-dinking ventures, sadly I have none coz I don't drink tea. But I greatly appreciate this design for offering a clever solution for placing a wet dripping tea bag. 9) Link Mugs by Jonathan Aspinall Announcing a trip to the café at work usually results in requests for "me-too wants another cup of coffee". Link 6 together and carry them without a spill. No trays required! 8 ) Drip With Song Concept by Jongmin Kim Say "design me a cup" to an Asian designer and you can expect the most unusual outcome. You'll understand more when you scroll down a bit. Take this CD player cup for instance…It's a cup alrite, but you can play a CD from it. 7) Folding Cup by Jaehyung Hong Picky about your cup? Over-possessive maybe? Alrite patent it with unique markings of letters, numbers or symbols, this ways you'll always know which cup is yours. Always! 6) Balance - Cup for Everybody by Pamela Lindgren Dotted with Braille markings on its side, so that you can get a better grip. Alas! Better Grip in the first place would have ensured that my coffee mug never slipped! No place for butter fingers. Boo Hoo! 5) Message Of Love Cup by Sunman Kwon For the love of your brew, or simply coz you adore quirky styles; this one's ideal for hinting sweet nothings. And as Anthony puts it, a slow strip tease of affection! 4) The Cup by Hyuh-Jin Lee & Hyeroung Choen Like I said earlier, technology has hit cup design as well. Get you daily dose of info via "The Cup". My cup runneth over with pics from YD! 3) The Yuno PC Cup by Jason Farsai If your your caffeine and net addiction had sex then their love child would be this coffee mug! It shows important morning alerts such as weather, time, traffic, stocks etc. on the outside display, while holding your beverage inside! 2) Ceramix For Mix by Florian Dussopt, Jérémie Reneau & Julie Girard How can I forget the stiff-upper-lip variety? After all Tea-drinking is ceremonial in many places and to add a dash of high-end glam to the event, you will need something as complex yet stunning as the Ceramix For Mix! 1) iPod Ghetto Accessory by Dmitry Zagga Four single-serving paper cups, two tooth picks (for holding cups together) + iPod with classic earbuds. The increase in volume, of course, is ridiculous, but hey, you get stylish iPod accessory out of nothing! I rest my case!
