Touchy Feely Lights Posted: 01 Feb 2010 07:30 AM PST We have come a long way from those drab table lamp designs that offered a mere on-off switch, rigid arms and 200 watts of yellow heat!

The Gentle Touch comes in two versions, the Glob & the Focus, the difference being the hood. Adapting to your requirements of luminosity, the thing about this range is the color options available.

No iPad Jokes Get The iDrift? Posted: 01 Feb 2010 07:01 AM PST While the video here explains exactly how to use an iPad, lemme tell you more about how you can accessorize it. If you're into car-games, then rest assured you're going to need add-ons like the iDrift. Unlike the hype of the Wii Mario Kart Wheel, this one is an easy to use peripheral; it has no mechanical or electronic parts whatsoever, making it cheap to manufacture and durable. This submission has got me thinking, how long before the next iPad related concept surfaces…sooner thank you say Jack Robinson! Designer: Michael Greenberg

Madura, Laser Child of the Road Posted: 01 Feb 2010 07:00 AM PST This right HERE* is called the Lamborghini Madura, and it’s a concept car from another of the fantastic pages in the book of Slavche Tanevski. This designer is on fire with the car designs, let me tell you that. Before we had Tanevski’s “Ankonian,” now we’re gettin yellow! (or blue if you please) Or green! This vehicle’s a Hybrid! That’s right, race fans, join in on the saving of the earth. The bonnet up front has it’s electric engine tucked neatly underneath. Behond, a spoiler with blades for depth and aesthetic excitement plus a better aerodynamic cW value (drag coefficient.) The headlights up front are oriented to emphasize the cars’ width, while the tail does basically the same thing. The car has a proportionally small wheelbase, with equally long overhangs. This shortness is in place for optimal agility and driving performance. The overhangs, on the other hand, are shortened in sight by “thin layering surfaces which are part of separate body elements.” And then, AND THEN, check out picture number three in the gallery below for the fabulousness of LASER technology: The spoilers, as a special feature, grow out of the side panels and connect with laser beams when breaking as a symbol of the electric drive system. Lasertastic! *NOTE: Take a look again at the other car similar in build to this one, the “Ankonian,” also by Tanevski. I lent my journalistic hand on that one too, mistaking it in name with the car you’re looking at now. But have no fear! All is now well. Designer: Slavche Tanevski

Ultraponic Superstars Posted: 01 Feb 2010 06:57 AM PST In your kitchen, of all places! Who of you would love to use themselves an “Ekokook?” Don’t know what that is? I’ll tell you! It’s a kitchen system that makes use of all your waste, all of it. Even that. Yep. And that too! It’s got the capability to use and re-use all of your solid waste, liquid waste, and organic waste. How, you say? Well, let me Ekokook you up a fwe answers! Micro-plant 1) First, we’ve got the solid waste. What to do? Select, process, store. Solid wastes, in this case, are wastes that have no smell. These wastes are as thus: glass, paper, plastic, metal, and miscellaneous. Each of these are placed in their own bin and smashed down to minimal size. All of these items activated by hand: a steel ball, like the ball in a pinball machine, to break glass, an endless screw like a nut-cracker to compress cans and water bottles, and a manual shredder-crusher to shred paper before turning it into briquettes. Micro-plant 2) Water. Use, collection, and recycling. First, a double sink for retention. The second sink collects water that’s been filtered of any grease scum into two pitchers that can then be used on household plants. All of this can be lifted out and cleaned (which it should be regularly) to keep up hygiene. Micro-plant 3) Organic waste. Night of the living garbage bin. This is the earth worm composer. It uses real earthworms to break down organic wastes. Green wastes go in here like peels, scrapings, left-overs, etc. Food waste. The container with the worms is a drum that rotates a notch a day. The waste inside shifts gradually and after three months maturing are considered lumbri compost. Liquid effluent drains into two pitchers, and diluted one part effluent to ten parts water, this junk becomes perfect food for indoor and outdoor plants.

Are We Having A Road Cone For Breakfast? Posted: 01 Feb 2010 06:53 AM PST Sorry, wrong menu but right intentions… The On the Road Ceramic Breakfast Set is purposely crafted to resemble a Traffic Cone. Why? Simply to add the fun elements to ceramics plus to give you an espresso cup, juice glass, tea cup, cereal bowl and a small plate, in one go. Super cute and super simple, that's the way to go! Designer: Pierre Lescop

Anything with Wonderland in It Posted: 01 Feb 2010 06:48 AM PST Put the word Wonderland in the name of your product, piece, or design and you’ll get me to look twice, that’s for dern sure. Take a whimsical look at this fantasy land designed by the rather fashionable Eunsuk Hur. In this “Nomadic Wonderland” you’ll find a series of interchangeable, interlockable, interspectacular pieces of material that come together to spell nothing less than glamorously wonderful. The Nomadic Wonderland project is a modular system of textile pieces that can be connected and re-connected to create any number of new unique pieces of clothing or interior accessories. All the while, in doing this, promoting sustainable design. Why? How? This stuff is durable! These laser-cut bits of sublimation printed wood, acid printed wool felt, and etched leather are all alterable. You can do combinations and changes again and again, adding only character, destroying nothing but the checkbooks of the department stores you’d usually be at. Plus think of how much MORE amazing you’ll feel having some so much closer to truly having designed your entire look for yourself. It feels just splendid, lemme tell you that, baby babe. Designer: Eunsuk Hur

Music In My Pillow Posted: 01 Feb 2010 06:40 AM PST A cross between the boombox on your shoulder and an MP3 player is the right description for the MU SPACE! Touted as this relaxation portable music system with a mat included, nirvana will be miles away if you use it to catch those forty winks at work! However, investing in the MU SPACE will be cheaper than Sleep Pods. After all it's for the sake of stress-busting, relaxation & motivation of employees or pepping up complacent teens. USB and Memory Card comptiable. Designers: Yuan-Hao Hsu & Lin Tzu Hsuan
