Just What I Need For My iPhone Posted: 11 Nov 2009 02:24 AM PST For some odd reason, Apple has decided to keep the charging cord for the iPhone pretty short. When you compare it to the Nokia or Motorola chargers, the wire is a teeny-tiny tad! Not that long wires are a help, but either ways, you never are going to be happy with wire lengths! The solution lies in cool accessories like this MI-O Cell Phone Cradle. Keep the phone close enough to the socket and wrap the charger wire, neatly around the expandable wings! Happy Happy Wires! How does it work? Position device between electrical outlet and handset charger. Insert charger cable into small opening on either side of platform to securely hold handset in place. Coil charger cable around expandable wings on device base. Designer: Cagnina Design [ Buy it Here ]

Riding The Deep Blue Seas Smoothly Posted: 11 Nov 2009 01:30 AM PST The Vif Argent Yacht combines the principles of foiler and glider so that you can have smooth sailings at high speeds with maximum efficiency. Killer combo, right! The boat floats on its hull while at rest and then deploys its gliders during acceleration, to help attain high speeds (over 50 knots). To ensure the smooth ride, the cabin is actually cruising above the waves at a height. The suspension system, which is integrated into glider folding arms, absorbs the shocks and vibrations of the wave impact. Propulsion is made of two high performance diesel engines, to provide power and fuel efficiency. Designer: SVDesign

Slurp Up Buddy Posted: 11 Nov 2009 01:00 AM PST We tend to associate polluted water problems with under-developed countries and rarely give a thought to how we would cope with a situation when our fully developed city comes under the siege of Mother Nature’s fury! At times like this, contraptions like the Happy Basin for instant purified drinking water can come as a relief. The basin includes nano ceramic filters embedded in the holes at the bottom of the cup that help in the filtration of polluted water. You simply need to push the basin into the water body and let surface tension buoyancy take its course. Clean, precious water; up for slurps! Designers: Woo sik Kim & Duck soo Choi

Emergency Tripod Posted: 11 Nov 2009 12:15 AM PST Passive emergency. That’s what this is. This lamp was made to remain dormant until an emergency arises. It can sit on the table or on the floor. Each of the pod’s arms sit in peace until the time for crazy emergency is here. They’ve each got a magnetic base, turning on when released from their home. And then your home can be lit again until the crazy time is done. Lovely, isn’t it!? It can be used for other uses than emergencies, too. Use it for night lights, charging the lights up each day by returning them to their base. The cover of the lights can be removed with a simple screw. The entire product is snap-based, fitting one piece to the other, abolishing the need for screws. Screwtastic! Designer: Hans A Huseklepp

Organamessena Desketa Posted: 11 Nov 2009 12:05 AM PST It’s called the “Organized Mess” desk, and it’s designed by Jun Yasumoto. It’s got you utterly covered, you messy college student you. Or you messy messy highschool student you. Or you fantastically overly amazing middle-school student. It’s got a back and a bunch of attachments. Whatever you need you attach or get off your desk, you just put it on the back. And that’s that! Organization, organization, organization! Made for the home, only! With this series of steel trays, hooks, and panels. All that you see here. Made of oak wood, painted steel, and lamination. Lamination for the laminated top. Folded steel sheet piece in the back for maintained structural rigidity and a cable management system. Designer: Jun Yasumoto

Stoolish Installation Posted: 11 Nov 2009 12:00 AM PST How do you like free things? How do you like fabulous bits of furniture? How much do think people would enjoy a free stool exhibit? That being an installation art exhibit where people are allowed to take the exhibit home with them? That’s what’s happening right now until early next year at the Landes Gallery with Thomas Feichtner’s “Linz Hocker” stool! Pick one up! The installation is more than one thousand stools all sitting in a big super-organized room. You may enter the exhibition and take one stool. As the exhibition goes on, and once the exhibition is complete, and for many many years beyond the exhibition, the show will go on! These stools will circulate basically forever or until the end of the world. How fun is that? The stool itself is one made in blatant disregard for the rules of minimalism and functionalism. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. It means it feels at home at an art exhibit. Designer: Thomas Feichtner
