Venus Chair

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

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.

CAT 1Uber-bike

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 :)

Steampunk Phone

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

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.

Samsonite OBAG

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 V4 Superbike Concept

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.

Vertical Bed

This man is not waiting for rain or Merilyn Monroe air vent effect, he is sleeping. Artist Jamie O’Shea designed a vertical bed and presented it during the Conflux Festival in NYC. He even slept on(not quite on) it for 40 minutes for 4 days during the event.

I fail to see the benefits f such a “bed”. I personally don’t know where would a person might actually use it. You can’t use it in the city because God only knows what might happen when you are asleep. Somebody might steal you stuff or loot your pockets besides I wouldn’t feel safe to sleep on a street. At night it’s too cold to sleep without a cover and it doesn’t seem like you can cover yourself with anything in that position except maybe a sleeping bad. Not to mention it’s difficult to fall asleep standing up.

Superstar

Superstar is a conceptual china town designed by MAD. A person could be born, live his life and die without living the star-city. The spires act like different districts. The Superstar produces its own resources and leaves no waste. On top of all that it is mobile.

How exactly does the city suppose to move is unclear and even if it could move around, moving something as big as this would certainly result in damages to the structure, unless of course, it is fitted with an anti-gravitational engine which would allow the star to take off and land smoothly. So I guess the next step for MAD is to design an anti-grav engine - good luck to them.
