| Single Pen Dispenses All Colors Posted: 30 Sep 2009 12:05 AM PDT A must-have on any designer's desk is his marker pen; the more, the merrier! Getting high-tech about the colors and tools is this Braun Markerfool Marker Pen. It's been designed especially to provide a variety of colors from just a single pen. Kinda like a miniature inkjet printer, that has a touch screen so that you can mix in the CMYK colors and use them. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black! Altho not elaborated, it claims to be an eco-friendly concept, I assume it's coz you'll need a lot less pens. Just this one! Designer: Hai-Ling Zhong        |
| Posted: 30 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PDT Look at this lovely table you see here, then let me introduce you to the plants it’s got growing on it. Tillandsias, also known as Air Plants grow without soil, feeding instead on the moisture it finds in the air (dust, decaying leaves and insect matter). These plants rely on a host structure for support, but don’t worry, the table wasn’t alive to begin with.* But then again, the table wouldn’t be killed by this whole ordeal, as *the Tillandsias that grow on top of it use a host structure simply for structural support. Seems like a fair deal to me. These tables are made for the freshening of a home, as the Tillandsias absorb CO2 from the air and produce oxygen in the night. The table is the perfect vessel for this magical transmission, as it’s right in the center of all the action. That’s where the cat usually is in my apartment. No chewie, kitty!

| Posted: 30 Sep 2009 12:00 AM PDT If you see the Touch Intrigue on the road, wouldn't you be tempted to just pass by and run hands on it? Intrigue, curiosity and our urge to touch, all culminate into this experimental "Touch Powered By Intrigue Concept." A working prototype placed in a busy mall and sidewalk proved that people subconsciously are curious, and this often leads to physical interaction. These weed inspired protrusions harness energy from the touch via the use of piezo-ceramic cores molded within the stems of the product. As these flex, a current is generated and used to light electroluminescent wire at the head of the product, providing vital user feedback. This makes "Touch" completely self-sufficient.
Touch invites intrigue and interaction!     |
| Posted: 30 Sep 2009 12:00 AM PDT The seat diners dread the most is the uncomfortable center place, right where two tables join. Murphy's Law comes into action and invariably one table is slightly taller than the other, causing an up-down situation! With the dedicated Plate For People Who Sit Between Two Tables, I'm sure we can tackle the awkward scene, and just for the novelty of eating off this cool plate, I'm willing to sit in the middle!

| Posted: 29 Sep 2009 11:47 AM PDT How fantastically dandy is this? It’s just a lamp with a fun accessory! The Gentlemen table lamp wears its shade like a tuxedo shirt and bow tie. And like any good dandy, are interchangeable. You can mix and match to your heart’s content. Whimsically sophisticated and definitely very pop. It’s all made from stainless powdered and polished steel too. I want it. Designer: Ramei Keum     |
| Battered, Bruised, Broken, But Still Good Posted: 29 Sep 2009 11:44 AM PDT A usual obsession with clean cut lines is not Matylda Krzykowski’s “MO,” or modus operandi - the name of her project. Made from spruce, each chair presents an archetype - of destruction perhaps. Chairs are usually thought of as utilitarian objects and even at their most abstract design; remain functional. Krzykowski distorts this reality by artfully destroying them. Designer: Matylda Krzykowski modus operandi from Daniel van Hauten on Vimeo.     |
