Our world packed sewer, packed barriers. The Oneself project – a bathroom for person who lives itself. For it each wall spare and him necessary each square metre for selfrealization. There is no bathroom, there is simply wall.

Lost in the dark! That’s usually what happens when you get home from a long day of working, skateboarding, drinking, whatever! It’s dark outside, you wanna get into your house, but by golly if it isn’t the most difficult thing in the world to get that key aligned with the key hole in order to insert and turn! Here’s the key to this problem. The “V Lock.” It’s got a v. You put the key in the v. You open the door. Perfect.
I think you’ll understand this concept in basically 0 seconds. It’s just that obvious. Props to designer Junjie Zhang for making the world a more intuitive place, one lock at a time.

Zero has an enormous amount of value when you are calculating and even on your ruler. The specialized Zero Point Ruler places “0” plum in the center of the stick so that it’s easy to measure out or draw lines. Traditionally rulers or scales start off with “0” flushed to the left; this ruler has it placed in the center as a matter of convenience. Wonder if it will make any difference to your measuring skills! BTW, there is a solar panel running along one length of the scale, and no specific reason mentioned. Anyone willing to venture a guess?

You’ve got a lot to say about tubes. Everyone does! Everyone has an opinion for tubes! And I’m sure you know the tubes I’m talking about, rescue tubes! The kind they didn’t have enough of on the Titanic. In fact, I hear all of theres were just crappy sinky tubes. These tubes are much better than those. These are just fantastic. This project is called “Unitube” and it’s made for when a lot of people are about to drown. They just hang on. They just hang out. They rock the Unitube.
Connection, connection, reflection, air hole, handle, hook. These are the elements included in this strip of three. The reflection is reflective material that airplanes, boats, passers by are going to be able to see easily in the sun. And when you meet up with another set of floating people you can connect your Unitubes too!

I am starting to lose sight of what is more important as we all try to move forward in the green movement. As global warming converges on us all, is conserving water or conserving trees more important? Can both these conservation efforts live harmoniously? Case in point: this design by Yang So-yeon called “Foldish”. It is a wonderfully thought out design that creates paper barriers for your meal, therefore eliminating the need for separate disposable dishes for each of your courses. According to the designer, this food tray helps conserve water, but I can’t help to wonder, what about the trees that died for this tray? And what about the Bothans that died bringing us this information? Discuss amongst yourselves.

Flattery is going to get you everywhere Mr Marcial Ahsayane, and I love the way you describe this concept project as a standard mouse that can be used as pen sensor for specific design works. Shifting focus to the “eVouse”, this one is meant for your laptops and iPads and flits effortlessly between being a mouse and a pen sensor for specific design works.
“The design of the mouse is a mix between a classic mouse and a tablet pc. The actions buttons and the scroll are tactile. It becomes illuminated by green light in every action movement as a feedback for its use. In fact, eVouse is, like the Minotaur, a design with body of a mouse and the head and tail of an optical pen.”

There are several things that I find unique about the Sink Plate Washbasin Unit and some that I find pretty disturbing. For instance, I simply love the waterfall style faucet that is elegantly fitted onto the top panel. From a distance the entire unit looks to be stylish and exudes glam. But….
Unfortunately I do see one major flaw: the sink plate is a steel grid, and if you accidentally drop your ring into the basin, it will easily slip through the grid. Retrieval of jewelry or other foreign objects could be a problem. Worse scenario would be objects lodging themselves in the grid. Oh, And I would never place a soap bar just like that….always with the soap dish!
What do you think, with a bit of modifications, will this live up to its glam style?

Babies being babies will not stay still just because you want to measure their progress in height. They are going to squirm, scream and do everything possible, when you take that tape measure from head-to-foot! This is why I simply adore the Baby Measuring Crib Fitted Sheet. It looks to be this fun, non fussy way of marking your baby’s growth progress. The graphics on this sheet reflect an accurate measuring scale. What’s more, it’s printed on 100% cotton with environmentally friendly ink. Totally Baby-friendly!

Recently I’ve been hearing a lot about 3D posters. Hanging right off the wall, they are, comin right atcha! Well that’s what’s going on here too, to a degree. Designer by the name of Leo Yiu Chun Pong’s whipped up a nicely done concept and execution for a wall timepiece called the “Insert Clock.” I think you’ll find it tells time nicely in the strangest way.
It’s hanging right off the wall! Reminds me of an episode of the X-Files where two bits of reality exist in the same place, all fused. That seems to be happening here too.
I want this clock. Someone can buy me this clock.

This project right here is called “Boxetti.” It’s a series of box-like forms that transform into everything you could ever want in a single piece of furniture. There are five different boxes you can choose from, or if you’re totally into this, choose them all: bedroom, sofa, office, television, and kitchen. I would NOT mind having any one of these in my giant beachside penthouse.
Boxetti_Private is the bedroom model: it folds down into a double bed, a nightstand, and a wardrobe. The bed is lifted automatically by remote control, and has ambience lighting as well as a spotlight. The wardrobe is made up of six sections for all your bedroom thangs needs.
Boxetti_Lounge is the sofa: it can act as a couch with the two coffee tables pulled out, or it can be a giant table. With both options, several surfaces can be folded out from the sides for more workspace.
Boxetti_Practice is the office: Manual foldaway desk top with drawers, bookshelves, chill-niche for a nice sit, and optional finishing with leather or other fabrics.
Boxetti_Thrill is the tv: it’s a full entertainment center of course, with gigantic fold-out hi-fi speakers. An automatic HAFELE lift system brings the TV up, the TV is flat and 46″, High Standart 7.1ch Reciever and basic BluRay player. Also enclosed storage space for 8tracks and VHS — OR DVDs of course.*
*The Thrill does not have 8track or VHS capability.
Boxetti_Lunch is the kitchen: island unit from heaven has a sink, tap, infinite drawers, oak tree cutting board, built-in LED spotlight, two bar seats, space for built-in fridge, and a nice shiny exterior.
And you know what the best part is?
The demo picture has The Fifth Element playing on the TV.
BEST!
