Have you tried sitting in a bucket? How about a wooden designer chair that feels like a bucket? Designer Ania Wagner has designed the Barnacle chair made from sustainable wood. What I like about it is multiple use. You can sit in it or you can flip it over and multiple users can lean against it while seated on the floor.

A modder from a Russian forum Topmods.net made 2 cool speakers from 2 fire extinguishers. It took much effort to turn 2 rusty metal cylinders into a modern speakers. Here are photos of the process.

Some restaurants change their cutlery as often as every 9 months. So, that can creative people do with all that unwanted cutlery? Make furniture of course. This chair doesn’t look very comfortable though and if you ever find yourself sitting in one don’t move around too much if you want to keep all of your “seat”.

Of course, I understand that there aren’t so many radiator designs but making one from a washing machine hose is not the answer. First, the inner layer of the hose is plastic or rubber so it makes a terrible radiator. Second, such hoses are not as durable as a regular radiator. From personal experience: some years ago I used such a hose as a temp for a metal pipe. It was holding at first but soon burst. Third, you can trip over it so it’s a fail in terms of safety. I do however like the concept of the hose radiator I’m just not ready to sacrifice heating for a new design.

It’s effective, it’s merciless and now it’s slim. Designed by Pepe Garcia and Martin Žampach this electronic bug zapper goes well with almost any environment. Plus, it’s easy to use, simply install it somewhere in the room and change the fly paper from time to time however if yo can’t take the sight on hundreds of dead creepy-crawlies then let some else do it.

It took days of works and lots of cassette tapes but in the end the Dutch designer Patrick Schuur made himself a great closet. Each of the 918 cassettes were individually screwed to the wooden frame. Three doors provide access to the huge storage space inside. Now the cassette closet is being auctioned and the current bid is 499.00 Euro or $625. The link to the auction page is after the jump.

Titanium goggles or the Titanium and Brass Photochromatic, Variable-Aperture Goggles which I think is a cool name for such amazing goggles. It took the creator 1 year to make them. The coolest feature of these goggles is the iris. Not only do they make the goggles look cool they also improve the sharpness of vision at long distances at their smallest aperture. They do this by increasing the depth of field by limiting the aperture similar to a camera lens.

The purpose for such a fork is simple - make is easier to twirl spaghetti. However, I get the feeling while they were optimizing the fort for spaghetti twirling they forgot about safety. I mean, this fork looks like a torture device and after using it you might end up with a few more piercing holes in your lip.

Icelandic artist and designer Katrin Olina launched 2 amazing installations. One multimedia installation, the Crystal Ball is in Hong Kong the other is half the world away in the Reykjavik Art Museum. Both installation are full of color, strange forms and characters. Seeing Olina’s works is like taking some LSD but in a good way (if that even makes any sense). Anyway, I simply adore the colors of the installations.

After seeing this design I immediately thought “Why didn’t they make it like that before?” It’s so convenient when you can just put the umbrella in the corner and it’ll stay it that position till the time you’ll need it again. I also would like to mention that making an umbrella stand up is not easy. It’s just a stick on a tripod. The umbrella’s weight is not distributed equally so it took the designer Hironao Tsuboi much effort to make it stand up and stay up. Other then that, it functions just as well as any other umbrella, keeping you dry when it’s raining.
