Pac-Man Poufman
Sunday, September 28th, 2008I wonder just how many ways we can incorporate Pac, the man, into our everyday lives. Luckily for us, we can now sit on him (and stylishly too!). Inspired by everyone’s favorite dot-eating yellow circle man, the Poufman living room set sets a new high score in the Pac-Man department. Available in dark red, white, [...]
Keyboard Cups
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Here’s a gorgeous cup set from MOD Design in Taiwan. Basking in the glory of simplicity, these cup sets resemble keyboard keys set atop a circuit board saucer. Made from porcelain, I bet they have a nice weight to them. Once again you guys, proof that geek is chic.
Update: Found a place where you can [...]
Tetris Tiles!
Friday, September 12th, 2008For years people have asked us to come up with a fun and colourful alternative to normal everyday tiles. So in 2007 we set about making Tetris Tiles and testing them in our friends homes. After a series of compliments and “where did you get those?” we knew that there was enough of a demand [...]
Tic Tac Toe Ashtray
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008Here’s an interesting ashtray by Barnaby Barford and Andre Klauser that encourages a round of the good ol’ Tic Tac and Toe. It’s nice looking and all, but this doesn’t seem like a game you can win. First of all, you’ve only got ashes, no x’s or o’s. And second, well, you’re smoking. Still, it’s [...]
Pac Man Cufflinks
Monday, August 25th, 2008Pac Man is going formal with these great cufflinks by Sarah Lynne Designs. Made from brushed aluminum that is coated in heavy-duty resin, these slick cufflinks lighten up while dressin’ up. While Pac Man doesn’t seem to be showing up on Sarah Lynne Designs’ Etsy shop, she is still open for requests. Make sure to [...]
Sony-fied NYC Subway Map
Monday, August 25th, 2008Both Apple products and ads are/have been flooding the market, proving to be one monster of a competitor. Say what you want about Sony, but this ad for the Sony Network Walkman totally rules. The campaign by Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney actually mapped out the NYC subway map, the epicentre of the city’s headphone listening, [...]
Decision-Making Compass Kit
Friday, August 1st, 2008Let’s face it, making decisions is tough. So whether you want to rack your brain over what to eat for dinner or what kind of fiscal responsibilities you’ll carry out with this week’s pay, you don’t even have to bother yourself with thinking. Designed by Pu Tai, the Decision-Making Compass Kit includes a paper disc [...]
LEGOish Lamp (Updated! Oops…)
Thursday, July 31st, 2008Ah, the Japanese. Nobody can make me want office supplies the way that you do. First it was Sanrio, and now it is everything. For example, these LEGO block inspired desk lamps from Japan’s 25togo aren’t only nice to look at, but also provide a function of organization for your desk. While these lamps can [...]
Artsy Hard Drive Cases For Ugly Hard Drives
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Brazilian artists of Meninios Design Studio have decided to give those big ol’ ugly external USB hard drives a little pop art makeover. The project had started off as a gift for their oh so lucky friends, but now they’re sailing the retail boat. The cases are hand assembled at their studio using a custom [...]
Lace Link Fence
Thursday, July 10th, 2008What if a chain-link fence could be beautiful? Thanks to the Dutch design house studio Demakersvan it can. I never would have thought something so industrial and constricting could ever look as soft as lace, but low and behold…it really does. You know, if you surrounded a school with a lace fence, I’d guarantee the [...]
Pencil And Ruler In One
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008Peas and carrots. Milk and cookies. Ryan Seacrest and a pack of vengeful bears. There are many things that go well together, and many of those couples needs the other. The Split Ruler by Cina happens to be one of those things. Stop fuddling around, looking for a sharpened pencil and cut right to the [...]
Pill-You-Don’t-Want-To-Swallow Radio
Friday, June 27th, 2008Here’s an interesting radio clock concept by Pascal Barde from Sequoia Studi0. The Gélule, meaning “capsule” in French, may look like a really fun pill, but you probably won’t want to try swallowing it. Yeah and using it as a suppository is most definitely out of the question. Still, it’s an attractive piece sporting a [...]
Pixel Couch
Sunday, March 30th, 2008Looking a bit like an extreme close up of a Sonic the Hedgehog game, this Pixel couch caters to an audience of great variety. The fabric itself has been picked up by Danish manufacturer Kvadrat, based off of a concept by Cristian Zuzunaga, a Royal College of Art graduate.
Considering all designs Danish are [...]
Eiffel Tower Vs. Ivory Tower
Thursday, March 20th, 2008The Eiffel Tower is soon to be celebrating it’s 120th year by looking super awesome. Boy does architectural firm Serero have some big plans.
“The design is based on a generative script, creating branches out of the primary structure of the tower. Inspired by the structural concept of Eiffel of three-dimensional cross bracing beams, the script [...]
Plug In Your Toothbrush… Just Because
Thursday, March 6th, 2008The placement of your power socket doesn’t always seem to compromise the place that you actually may need it. So, we have extension chords and power strips to help multiply our power pluggage space, but how do we deal with the plugs we don’t use? Scott Amron has an answer, and that answer is “Die [...]
