USB Post-it Are Damn Handy Posted: 14 May 2010 02:00 AM PDT Where is the scribble paper when you need it? Never ever around; and the same thing goes for pen and other stationery items! Not all of us are as organized as the Virgos who have prim-n-proper workspaces. Hence, a USB stick with a notepad to it is an AWESOME idea! Details like a plastic cover to keep the notes contained really impress me. I wonder if this will mean the demise of notepapers, or is this Digilog Memory the second generation already? Designer: Soon-won Kim

Coffee Loving Umbrella Posted: 14 May 2010 01:30 AM PDT Try carrying your tall café latté in the rains! One hand full of your stuff, the other has an umbrella….get the drift? The solution is to get a functional Umbrella, like the one designed by Jung-Woo Lee. A convenient coffee-cup rim integrated into the handle solves the issue. I say cheers to more coffee and bring on the rains! Designer: Jung-Woo Lee for Ek Design

I Carry My Own Streetlights Posted: 14 May 2010 01:00 AM PDT In this day and age of multi-functional lifestyles how can we expect fashion to be far behind? Wouldn’t it be tacky for a pair of socks to simply be a garment? We need to rev it up a little, maybe add kinetic theory to it and a pair of bulbs and make it headlights for our feet. Go jogging in the dark or sizzle the Milan Ramps, but the moral of the story is to “Keep on running…baby….oooo…yeah!” Designer: Boyoung Joo Park

Harley Futurism Posted: 14 May 2010 12:14 AM PDT Let’s talk about the future of Harley Davidson. Motorcycles from OUTER SPACE! And what does that mean? Laser cuts. Laser cuts all over the place. Options. Wheels. Great things. All of this under the title “2020 Harley Davidson 1,” designed by Jonathan Russell. There’s other features, like two ways to sit, greatnesses here and there, but the most fabulous of these is the Apple Computers inspired laser-etched perforations in the aluminum which gives translucency enough to let the LED lights underneath shine through. As Russell notes, the perforations are evident in the newish Apple Macbook Pro, which has the “no-light-when-off” but “shiny loveliness when turned on” features that we all know and love. This is used on the cycle to display gauges and GPS systems on the gas tank surface. In a similar move, the perforated aluminum behind the seat hide and reveal the tail lights and turning signals. Non skid treads. Enlarged V-Twin engine, hidden battery and oil tank. Such a lovely chrome “picture frame” for the engine this doth make. Gas tank, airbox, oil tank, and battery all located inside the tank area. Wrapped two to one exhaust. Perimeter breaks for ultra-stopping. Due to the long history of flat track racing Harley’s got and the designer wanted to represent, this motorcycle’s got such a power to weight ratio as to rip it up with extreme speed on roads across the country. Comfortable, aggressive, fabulous. Designer: Jonathan Russell

Square House, Back Yard Posted: 14 May 2010 12:10 AM PDT How square would you like you home to be? So square? Me too. Let’s talk about this house right here. It goes by the name of “Backyard House” and it’s designed by Thomas Schaer of SHED Architects. Sitting right up on the hill looking down over downtown Seattle and Elliott Bay. Spaces and finishes and big fat giant walls of glass for optimum in livability and having a really, really amazing time just sitting in the living room. So you’re sitting over Seattle. It’s going to rain somewhat of a lot. That’s what Seattle does, it rains! So you’re going to want to have an amazing house to sit in. Unobstructed views all around, looking over the city, peeking at the people around you. It’s open wide, yet secluded enough to make you feel fabulously elite. The whole place is “Built Green” certified with environment, community, and one more thing in mind: two and a half words, rooftop deck. That’s what’s up. Designer: Thomas Schaer of SHED Architects

The Ohhh Light Posted: 14 May 2010 12:03 AM PDT The title of this project is “OBO Light,” and a stranger shape for a lamp never have I had the pleasure of seeing. It’s a ring. Sort of an oblong ring that projects light in a rather unique way, shining in any of several colors up on the wall and thusly all around the room. If you’re like me, one of the main goals of your life is to achieve a fabulous purple or orange ambience in my workplace room. And, AND, it has the ability to be made of partly wood, plastic, metal, or junkfood! *Not junkfood. Just metal, plastic, or wood. LED lighting source, 1W per LED. Lifetime up to 25,000 hours. Powered by a battery. A rechargeable battery, with the ability to be recharged via electricity or the sun. Solar power! Designer: Savvas Panagiotou
