Stand Umbrella

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.

SteelSeries World of Warcraft Mouse

WOW! SteelSeries and Blizzard have unveiled a mouse made especially for World of Warcraft. First thing first, It looks amazing, if aliens used mice with their computers I’m sure this is how we would picture them. Now comes the function part. The mouse has 15 programmable buttons. 15! That’s more then I used for the whole game including moving around but I understand that for PvP you need to have lots of buttons you can quickly push and not take your eyes off the screen. Also, you can choose what color the mouse will glow. You can chose from 16 million colors. A bit overkill but may keep the player busy while he’s in queue for the next battleground. One last thing, the mouse will be on sale on November 13, the same date when the Wrath of the Lich King comes out and will cost $90

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.

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?

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.
