The Somerset House Book Stall System.



A very nice and practical book stall by London Metropolitan University graduate Fotis Evans. You can change how it stands whenever you want to. Lovely.

Fragile.


Need to tell your guests that your table lamp is fragile? Just write it down...^^ ... This "Fragile" lamp shade wrapped in adhesive tape is by Italian designer Sylvia Pichler for design brand Skitsch.

Brew Dog.




Scottish brewery BrewDog have packaged their latest range of beers inside stuffed animals. This is a very odd but also eye-catching packaging idea. It sure did grab my attention alright...^^

The Bent Hands.



I got to say this, I just love the Asians artists and inventors... They just never stop thinking... And they always combine art and technology altogether, delivering an extra ordinary beautiful invention everyday. This clock (oh yeah, it's a clock!) is called The Bent Hands by Giha Woo and Shingoeun, because it has a 'bent arm' to indicate the time in different countries around the world. So the linked dots shows the time in that particular countries pointed by the dots. Headache? Me too. I might stick to the ordinary clock, but I just adore the invention!

VitraHaus.






Wow, isn't this amazing? This is VitraHaus by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, which has opened at the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. The VitraHaus project joins existing buildings on the Vitra campus.

Tube. Handmade Unicums.




Well I don't know about you, but I just love recycled stuff... Keeps the earth alive. And this is why I love the recycling idea more and more, because some people just make it so good that it looks like new. See for example is Tube: Handmade Unicums. Their products are almost completely produced from old bicycle tubes or remaining stocks. And they even ask you to join their recycling movement, if you'd like. You can make a belt yourself using their ready to use belt buckle. So whenever you have a flat tire, don't throw it away just yet. Who knows someone you know needs a 'cool' belt...^^
