| Posted: 08 Feb 2010 06:25 AM PST Ah the woes of being overweight, ask me about it! You need constant reminders to "watch it" and ensure that you stick to your regime. Rug with Scale is one such aid and should ideally be placed in front of your bathroom door so that every time you come out of the loo, you feel happy! The scale typically shows your previous weight, present weight, and goal weight. But the rug underneath can be removed and switched for cleaning etc. Designer: Kwon Sunman        |
| Ten Unusual Shapes For Mobile Phones Posted: 08 Feb 2010 05:07 AM PST The form factor of your cellphone is quite a defining factor on whether you approve of it or not. The grip, the interface and accessibility, all depend on this. At Yanko, we have covered some really unique and unusual forms and here is a re-cap of the Ten Most Unusual Shapes For Mobile Phones. A wiggly worm or a bracelet, you choose its form! 9) Tarati – Touchless Cellphone by Nonobject No keys on this phone, just poke your stubby fingers through the holes to dial the numbers, fat fingers…watchout! Long before someone thought of the tablets, designer Seokwon Hong gave us a taste of prime screen space with this concept. It just whetted our appetite for more, only difference is that we don't need multiple faces to seamlessly connect, just a single iPhone-esque piece will do. 7) Soft Mobile Phone Concept by Roman Kriheli Reminds me of a puffer fish more than anything else! It just bloats up! 6) Dial Phone by Jung Dae Hoon Jewelry, retro , projector mish-mash! 5) Mobile Script Phone by Aleksandr Mukomelov Like a script that opens up to unveil the secrets, the OLED screen unfurls and becomes your playground. This phone was probably heavily influenced by Dan Brown! Cotton Candy of a phone; It's a series of discs with electronic fabric stretched in between! Unique in shape and materials. 2) Wearable Mobile Phone by Sunman Kwon How many times have you used your fingers to dial a number, now how about using them for a keypad? 1) Moto Concept by Joseph Liang This has to be the cutest looking phone EVER! A total DOLL!     |

| Posted: 08 Feb 2010 02:56 AM PST That’s another name for this product that I just made up! I mean the name, that is, this concept was designed by the incomparable Amirko, and it’s real name is “Change It!” Ohh scoop it! It’s one big wall of turn-triangles. Each of these triangles has different colors on them – white – black – and a slightly unique rainbow shade. As you can see in the first picture here, when the color is on full blast, it makes a mural all it’s own. What combination of madness can be made? Choose your own adventure! For now it’s the colors as explained above. In the future it might have any number of different choices for the sides – lights, materials, typography, body parts, animal fur, whatever! Designer: Amirko aka Amirkhan Abdurakhmanov     |
| Red Tongue Monster Will Get You Thief! Posted: 08 Feb 2010 12:10 AM PST Who's this with his mean eyes staring at you…his Red Tongue is not what it seems! Let's get creative this Monday Morning, and speculate what this mean looking monster will scare you about! Did someone say toilet gags? Kudos! It's a toilet paper keeper! Guardian….the toilet paper keeper which keeps the toilet paper safe, clean, secure from the toilet paper thieves! Funny concept that addresses a relevant issue, because we know public loos are often subject to vandals. The red piece secures the holder to the toilet tank and can be unlocked by the key-keeper. And in case the paper gets lost within the cover, you can spin it around from the other end and then pull it out from the front. Beware Toilet Paper Thieves, we have outsmarted you!
