Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka will present a chair made entirely from natural crystals at Second Nature in Tokyo later this month. The process of making such a chair is simple, I remember doing similar stuff in chemistry class when salt crystals stuck to a string. The proces sis simple yet very creative when it’s used to make furniture.

The Brunch is a series of products that make our lives a bit more interesting.
A bread slicing tool that helps to slice precise pieces or bread. I remember seeing one in a kitchen a long long time ago. It made slicing bread faster and safer, good for those who are bad with knives.
Measure how much milk and sugar is in your coffee
Helps you align the cutlery perfectly
This teapot records from which height you’ve been pouring tea. Utterly useless information but fun to know.
The most brilliant piece of all the toaster that shoots out your toast. You can set the angle and force so the toast would land exactly on your plate or someone else’s plate. Not sure if it can shoot a toast across the room but that would certainly be cool.

This installation which says “Obsessions make my life worse and my work better” was made by Sagmeister inc. in Amsterdam. The sign consisted of 300,000 euro laid out by 8 people. Sadly the installation lasted less then 24 hours when the police removed it. Still it was a great piece of art.

This is a limited edition of one cat 1Uber-bike by artist Byron Hemmes. The 1Uber-bike is powered by a 1200cc Buell 97 S3 Thunderbolt engine, the body is made from high-grade stainless steel. The bike costs £320,000 or roughly $565,000 which is a bit high for a bike especially whoever riding it would look like his humping a jaguar

This phone was designed by Londoner Arthur Schmitt and it’s just awesome. The phone is so inefficient, so bulky, such a pain to handle and all these things make the phone even better. Among all the inefficiencies, which makes this phone so cool, one stands out the most - you need to use punch cards and binary phone numbers to control your phone’s features and make calls. Isn’t it just the coolest gadget ever?

Field of Light by Bruce Murno will be on the Eden Project in Cornwall, England, this winter. The project consists of 6,000 acrylic tubes containing optical fibers. Just like flowers growing in the desert stand out so will the installation when it starts to glowing, capturing everyone’s attention.

4th time is the charm. That’s now how it goes but it does for SpaceX. Their forth attempt of launching a rocket, Falcon 1 into space from their launching system was successful. This is a momentous moment as it is the first private rocket to reach space. Also, the Falcon Launch Vehicle Family is designed to provide breakthrough advances in reliability, cost, flight environment and time to launch. In other words launching rockets into space can been cheaper, faster and safer for the environment.

Why attack wheels to suitcases when you can make a wheel a suitcase. Rooz Mousavi has done exactly that he designed the Obag. The form in the Obag makes it easier to move, maneuver and even drag up and down the stairs. The Obag has 2 compartments which open up like an atomic bomb, that’s kinda cool. It’s a not in production yet, however, I hope it will be soon.

Ferrari is one of the most popular manufacturer of supercars but why not superbikes? That’s what an Israeli designer Amir Glinik decided to change. He has designed a Ferrari bike concept that looks pretty darn good. The heart of the bike is a V4 engine with a fluid share around it and a waterproof LCD touch-screen above the fuel tank. This is only a concept so no numbers regarding it are known.

For all you Rubik’s cube fans. If you’re bored with 3×3x3, 4×4x4 and 5×5x5 here’s another cube that might provide a challenge. The parts are uneven (not squares anymore) and the cube also changes shape when mixed. The video shows how it works in more details. It’s sold in Japan for about $20.
