Scales Are Never My Friend

Posted: 16 Nov 2009 01:30 AM PST

Standing on scales to check your weight is supposed to be this hushed up ritual (unless you're thin) that no one is supposed to know of. So I'm really curious to know how people will react and accept the Riant Weighing Scale. It's got this jazzy pendulum system to it, with one knob that stays focused at your previous weight (or desired weight) and the other one that reads your actual weight. Stand on it, and god forbid you've gain weight; it lets out this shrill sound of pendulums crashing!

Damn, this would be the worst nightmare for folks like me who never find a friend in scales. I mean its bad enough that I've put on weight and now even the neighbors know about it! No more chocolate cake for me!

Bike Thief, Don’t Even think About It Mister

Posted: 16 Nov 2009 01:00 AM PST

Bike Thieves move on to your next victim, because this bicycle has BROKEN WHEELS! This exact feature is what keeps the bike safe. I love this ingenious idea that kind of breaks down the inner rim of the wheel, so that it becomes an unstable cycle with wonky-wheels that no one can ride. Anti-Theft Collapsible Bike Wheel; that’s what you call this baby.

You need to put the key into the wheel to collapse the internal dial and lock it into the "broken" position. Reverse the process to get your wheel back into shape!

The gearing system is inside the injection molded wheel and the lock for the wheel uses spring loaded bolt system.

Super! No More Bike Thieves!

American Cardboard Machine!

Posted: 16 Nov 2009 12:15 AM PST

Yes, it has struck again. It’s cardboard! And made and treated the way we’re talking about here, it’s chemical free, recycled, and recyclable! How is that for wrapping your arms around some bark? Included in this post are several designs, all designed by Ben Blanc Studio made exclusively for Cardboardesign, all ready to be slap-packed and picked up by you for you and yours.

So what have we got here?

Two count them two children’s fold up toys, one a shark, the other a television “puppetTV” inside which a child can pretend to be the worlds greatest action hero and television star: Mister Rogers. Or Captian Kangaroo. Don’t forget Spongebob. Ren and Stimpy not allowed.

Catscratchers made for all you hip kitties out there to sink your claws into. No seriously for cats only. If you are a cat and are reading this, please email me and we can be in touch. I want to talk to a cat that can read.

And finally, an amazing room divider. The room divider comes in a set of 50 pieces. Each piece is a die-cut shape that you can use to slot-connect your way to a new amazing wall in any dimension. Five thousand feet tall if you want.

No tools or hardware required for anything. Cardboard only!

Wallpaper ALIVE!

Posted: 16 Nov 2009 12:10 AM PST

The only experience I’ve ever had with wallpaper has been all within thus: looking at, pulling down, and pasting up. Not too exciting! But what’s this!? Wallpaper concepts? What could possibly be done with wallpaper! Kicki Edgren Nyborg will let you know! Inside this post are three concepts that live by the theme “Alive!” They’re called “Wake-up Wall,” get to know them!

First off, we’ve got “Off the Wall.” What in the world! It’s three dee! Two main mad lovely concepts in one name: shelving and lamp lights, both basically coming right off the wall. Reminds me of Wednesday Addams wallpaper disguise. Scurry!

Second, there’s “WallPlay” which is a children’s game for sure! Wallpapers of pure fun, stickers, and storytime. The wall becomes an environment in and of itself with interesting scenes and characters galore. And stickers, did I mention stickers?

Finally, there’s “Trans Wall” which includes five different wallpapers, several of which are shown here. Each paper is distinguished by its intensity and form. The pattern and color and composition highlight parts of the room, creating a flow for the room rather than remaining stagnant.

Movement!

Direction!

Alive!

This is Pants Seat

Posted: 16 Nov 2009 12:00 AM PST

Is it a side table? No! Well kind of. Is it a stool? No! Well actually you can sit on it, too. But what is it? Simple. It’s a book container! And it looks just like pants! Why would someone do that? Well, let me tell you! They want to make us (you and me) wear pants everywhere! Even in our own homes. That’s insane! But let me tell you, these pants wont rip.

Let me tell you again, something different this time. It’s about Donald Duck. He does not wear pants. But I bet if you asked him, he would endorse THESE pants. What’s up now, Mickey Mouse? Donald Duck can read. Mickey Mouse cannot read. Illiterate. End of story.

But if you want to know more about the stool, here it is. The place that’s raised at the top is made so you can lay your literature in an open position. The interior of the stool is virgin material while the exterior is hand brushed.
