| Posted: 24 Aug 2010 08:52 AM PDT  I love Marc Haldermann’s floor lamp called Puu. It’s modern, a little mid-century, yet sophisticated and whimsical. It’s as if he read my mind and made this lamp. It’s all wood using the lampshade’s own weight to create tension on the cord. Looks like a tree, or better yet – chicken feet. I want it. Marc, make me one!

| Posted: 24 Aug 2010 08:48 AM PDT  The Kitchen Hideaway is a peep into what food prep might be like in the future. A helmet and viewport allow you to image what it is you want to eat in your own virtual kitchen. Gone are the large appliances replaced by efficient robots that serve every gluttonous desire. You have to actually know how to cook the dish. The robots are only mimicking your technique. The technology is so life-like, it’s indistinguishable from the real thing. This is the Jetsons people. Even George would be jealous. The Kitchen Hideaway is an Electrolux Design Lab 2010 Finalist Designer: Daniel Dobrogorsky ----------     |
| Need A Light To Write At Night? Posted: 24 Aug 2010 04:30 AM PDT  As I hit my head to the pillow at night, a thousand things rummage through my head; my next proposal, next-day schedule, unfinished business and most of the times end up getting outta bed to write some notes for the next day. How sweet it would be if I had a notepad and the Write? Light! on my bedside table. It is a lamp that gives off a glow powerful enough to jot down a quick memo. And the way it works is darn cute; kinda like the inkwell and feather effect! Pick up the pencil to light-up; place it back to turn it off. Simple and awesome! The Write? Light! Won a Silver Award at the IDEA Design Awards 2010. Designer: Jaeun Park of Frabrica (Italy) ----------     |
| Dog, Luggage And You On The Same Scale Posted: 24 Aug 2010 03:28 AM PDT  The truth of the matter is that weighing dogs & luggage on a domestic weigh machine is cumbersome to the point of being impractical. So what's the solution? How about a sleek scale that expands its base to accommodate anything from a small sized pug, to humans, to great danes & huge suitcases. Say hello to your bathroom friendly Scale Z! Besides its stunning physical attributes, this baby is capable of recognizing your feet (not from their stink!) and pull out your past records like weight, BMI etc, record the new readings and send it to your computer via Wi-Fi. All this fuss is to make sure you manage and follow-up your weight loss program efficiently. I definitely see this gracing my room. Designer: René Woo-Ram Lee ----------     |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2010 12:10 AM PDT  Behold! From the earth underfoot jumps forth a sculpture of epic preportions, with a light in it too! This is a single-house project. There’s only one of these amazing amalgamations. But look, if enough people flip out over it, go nuts over it, break a blood vessel in their forhead for it, maybe it’ll be made on a large scale? I hope so. This is fabulous. What this project consists of is metal triangles embedded into the ground in a grid, a grid with the ability to hold triangles that appear to burst forth from the ground. Two planes pushing against each other. Lovely, isn’t it? The closest thing I’ve seen to this in my experience is a hole in the ground where an umbrella could be stuck, all this below a table surface outdoors. This idea, wow did they expand upon it. These folks and VeeV design are triangularly brilliant. This project is currently located in a 1950’s styled home in Berkeley Hills, California. High five to whoever’s house this is!

| Plants and Carbon-Fibres into Urns Posted: 24 Aug 2010 12:03 AM PDT  So you love the environment, yes? I mean, you like living and therefor like the only place we’ve got to live in, right? How about recycling? This particular planet has a limited amount of resources, so using them again and again until they’re completely depleted makes sense, I’d say. Here’s a project that uses recycled carbon-fibre and a plant-based resin to create lovely little pots. It’s called the Xendless Carbon Fiber project and the pots in this post are called “Earn / Urn.” Carbon-fiber is bad-assed. It’s got amazing strength for its weight. Did you see Napoleon Dynamite? They show, definitively, in that movie that a human person cannot tear a fiber-woven bowl apart, no matter how he tries. Carbon-fiber can resist radiation, static, and it’s got the capacity to carry an electric current. Amazing! There is a bit that gets everyone’s goat though: the fact that carbon-fiber objects are not bio-degradable. So what’s going on in the Xendless project? In recent years, advances have been made in the recycling industry that allow carbon-fiber items to be broken down to a level “as pure as the virgin material.” That’s cool. And what else? Instead of relying on petrochemical resins, Xendless works with fibers bound to renewably sourced “bio-resin” which is the stuff that’s made with plant oils instead of nasty, terrible, worst-ever crude oils. Plants forever! And what about the Urns in the gallery below? They’re cremation urns, made to contain the ashes from the bones of dead humans. Twist that however you like, it’s downright poetic no matter what. Designer: Neil Conley ----------     |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2010 12:03 AM PDT  Soaring through the water with the greatest of ease! This boat right here is the “Eagle Yacht.” Designed by Darko Markovic who has a really rad AKA: Dar-Mar! He’s made this yacht to be a powerboat with a definitive set of fine sport vehicle features. Aggressive power in the engine, light, high speed water ride, luxury interior and out, what more could you want? I want it to be covered in impossibly bright LED lights, but that’s neither here nor there. Let’s talk about this falcon of the sea. Outside you’ll see a sharp, advanced hull and a wide body. Coupled with a strong engine, that of course means stability, safety, and of course comfort. It’s covered by Voltaic solar panels, “Kevlar” fibers, and is run on a 250 KW Direct Drive Jet Propulsion System. Technically: Designer: Darko Markovic ----------     |
