Wine? Wine Knot! Posted: 04 Mar 2010 01:26 AM PST How much wine do you drink a year? How about a month? A day? Wow you drink a lot. And how do you display that wine out in the open? You don’t just stand it there next to your toaster do you? For shame! You’ve got fabulous taste in wine, you aught to be twisting it up nice in a knot, a “Wine Knot.” Everyone will ohh and ahh! at you when they stick their eyes upon this beautiful wood and metal masterpiece. This piece of wildness is made of two intersecting bent pieces of plywood held up by a simple metal rack. Rack em up! You can stick 6 of your regular wines in there, and a big one in the center. Not for those who have a ton of kiddies around, unless of course you keep your wine out of their reach anyway? I bet you do. Kiddies can’t be drinking wine. You drink wine! Designers: Scott Henderson, Tony Baxter, and Alberto Mantilla [Buy It Here, Wine Knot Wine Rack is available for $128 @ YD Store] Wine Knot Wine Rack is available for $128 @ YD Store

Bumping Action Deleted Posted: 04 Mar 2010 01:25 AM PST My memory for movies is trash but I'm sure there must have been many which featured a scene where the hero and heroine accidentally bump into each other, around a corner…papers fly outta their hand, they look into each other's eyes and fall hopelessly in love. Revise this scene with the Corner's Communication Warning Sign and it's ought to be a killjoy. But for practical purposes, down long office corridors, restaurants and hospitals, this corner sign could save a lot of spills. The tweeky thang emits a little sound and lights up when it senses someone approaching round the bend. Designer: Sanghoon Lee

Never Singe Another Garment Posted: 04 Mar 2010 01:00 AM PST As a new bride, it was expected from me to know how to manage all the household chores. The spoilt brat that I was, I didn't even know how to iron clothes. Yes, the expected happened I burned many of my husband's shirts, mainly because a telephone call or a whistling pressure cooker would grab my attention. I'd leave the iron right on the garment and come back to a gaping burnt hole! The Roly Poly Iron would have saved me a lot of clothes thanks to a built-in weight mechanism. What the added weight to the handle does, is that it rocks the iron back to a standing position, when not pressed down. Gripping the handle triggers off the surface sensors to roll the weight within, forward. And when you release your grip from the handle, the weight gently rolls back, moving the iron to a standing position. Roly Poly Iron…way to go! Designer: Wonkook Lee

Pendolo for Listening to Pendulum Posted: 04 Mar 2010 12:02 AM PST Have you heard of the “band” Pendulum? They’re totally insane. You could listen to them on these. These are super speakers. Super speakers indeed. Just look at them! It’s a 2 way loudspeaker system inspired by the sounds they’re about to play. The woofer is shaped to a sphere, while the acoustic base is a horn shape. One located above the other with the tweeter on top. The sound shall flow naturally! The designer of this project describes this as a user sensation project, as it’s meant to give the user the sensation of a full volume speaker when the actual volume is actually much smaller than it seems. What you see is what you hear. Wowies. Designer: Omer Sagiv

Our Overhead Ally Posted: 04 Mar 2010 12:01 AM PST Hello again 2-B-2 Architecture! If you read Yanko Design on the regular, you know that 2-B-2 has had more than a couple projects featured. Why? Because they’re friggin awesome. And what have we got here? More awesome. The project you’re about to experience shares the same name as the mythical creature whose main goal in life is to borrow three fiddy!* Yes, yes indeed, it is “Nessie,” our underwater ally! And she’s all lit up. *Name that reference! This lamp concept is very obviously looking toward the monster of underwater proportions of the past (and maybe the present?) Indeed it is the Lock Ness monster. Nessie is translated here into a lamp that can be hung from any wall or ceiling. Three different kinds of lamp can be added: the head, the case (body bits), and the tail. Another wild one from 2-B-2. Designer: 2-B-2 Architecture

Do You Have The Right Sexy Tools? Posted: 04 Mar 2010 12:00 AM PST I didn't know tools had to be so sexy (think Mike Delfino), ah naughty minds! I'm talking about this REPÄIRE TOOLSET; handy dandy and smart! All the necessary tools to help you become the puurrfect handyman, so much so that you can actually show this set off! It gets integrated into the bookshelf and within arm's reach. What I really dig is the color combos and the way a central blue (or red) ring is the hub of all equipments.
