Lights Lead The Way

Posted: 09 Dec 2009 06:48 AM PST

The simply named Road Lights is a system of wind generated lane lights powered by the wind of vehicles whizzing by. You’ve all felt it before, that wall of air as a car passes by. Why waste it? The energy captured by the system illuminates a series of pegs 50-100 meters in front of you to lead the way. Eco-friendly (yes I’m still using that phrase) and a perfect opportunity for a really creative car commercial.

Forgot My Ruler

Posted: 09 Dec 2009 04:27 AM PST

"Beg Borrow or Steal", that's what I used to get to hear from my class teacher when I used to forget to bring my pencil box to class. Like most diligent girls in school I used to carry a sharpner, eraser, pens, pencils, and ruler. God forbid if you forgot a ruler and had to draw some lines! Like we tend to carry extra pencils or pens, but never rulers! Well this Ruler Pen is a helpful answer. Too bad no one thought of this during my school days. Also there is no cure for being forgetful!

Spices are important to Indian cooking and more important is the way we store them. If not stored correctly, they can lose their smell, flavor and color. Handy as hell, this Magnetic Spice Rack is perfecto!

It’s Simply An Acoustic Robot!

Posted: 09 Dec 2009 01:28 AM PST

Unabashed, unashamed of his thought process, designer TAN Lun Cheak is bold enough to admit that his Acoustic Robot is nothing but a figment of his imagination. He does not take aid of technology to promote his design. He teases us with words like fantasy, imagination, playfulness – just like a favorite toy. Tell me, are we really slaves to justifications and explanations all the time? Can't we for once let go and simply enjoy a transformed regular audio speaker?

“I went to space one night in a dream. Battled an evil four-eyed robot. And I destroyed it by wrecking its brains out. I lugged its head back to earth as my trophy and replaced the brain with an ipod. Now it's my prized home audio system :)

One Armed Orange Monster!

Posted: 09 Dec 2009 12:10 AM PST

Hybrid! Its a hybrid! You can save a lot of gas money if you use this particular digging machine. It’s chock-full of the most modern simple things I’ve never seen implemented on a machine like this. A sliding counterweight, for example, what a fabulous idea! Sliding cabin – basically the same idea, again, why wasn’t this a feature for years now? And my favorite – independent articulation for the tracks. Excellent!

The tracks, they can do anything. The cabin – oh you’re gonna like the cabin. Not only can it move independent (to a degree) of the rest of the machine, it’s got the most modern controls. Touch-screen interface and lovely, lovely knobs. And the seat is steady too!

And would you look at those renderings?

Those renderings are just excellent.

Replacing the Backs of Chairs

Posted: 09 Dec 2009 12:01 AM PST

What we’ve got here is a casual clothes rack that wonders why, since the body that the clothes are going to be on is all smooth surface and lumpy contents, why then, is the clothing hanger made to hold clothing flat? Well, probably to save space, right? Well heck, not every bit of clothing is meant to sit in a closet. Some articles are just so pretty they’ve gotta sit pretty on this “Lean” rack.

Under the large wave is a hidden rod for those slightly-hangable bits, too. One lovely gesture for the casual draping of clothes.

84 Feet of Open Motor Yacht

Posted: 09 Dec 2009 12:01 AM PST

Yacht! I have several. Take a look at the fabulous boat in black and white. This particular yacht’s inspired by mid-engine sports cars. I also have several of those. Also in black and white. This yacht’s midships, 2 foldable coamings, and humongous slideable solon doors create a fantastic view area, 2 skylights, salon lounge, and a bright master cabin. Cruzin.

This yacht right here’s made to “enhance living spaces” while it attempts a lovely new formal approach. So when you drink your fancy pants drinks in the meeting area in the center there, you’ve got to wear your formal sailor’s hat.

Length: 25.6 m
Beam: 6.5 m
Displacement: 54 t
Engines: 2 x 2.030 PS MTU
Maximum Speed: 43 knots.
Customer: SENTORI YACHTS.
