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

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.

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.

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 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.

Netherlands-based designer Tineke Beunders has created a table that combines the world of adults and children. Whenever you’re feeling like a child and want to do something fun or just need to relax simply get the marbles into the grooves on the table. The grooves run through the whole table and the marbles will roll down the legs to the feet of the table where they will in a small box so you won’t have to chase the marbles all over the room (despite what the photos show).
