I used to travel all over the place with everything in my car… now comes this nifty box, which carries pretty much all the essentials needed for a room in a handy 90 x 120 cm box which takes about 7 minutes to disassemble. Reminds me of the RTA(Ready To Assemble) studio at RISD…
Watch a video of the box being taken apart after the jump, or here.
What a cool idea! Flipping day into night! Making your ugly view into a cool view! Pick from optional views of Helsinki, Tokyo, Paris, or Stockholm. Custom made out of vinyl… Anyways, would be an easy DIY project to bring any view to someone else’s view.

Buh yah…another great fun product by FRED even though your guaranteed a mess after flinging your food in all corners of the room!
Very cool!
Faceted curtains with magnets for a snappy customization frenzy by Florian Krautili. It’s pretty much the Faceted Curtains by Hannah Allijn, with magnets. I might have to make one of these.

Col-Pop: The Future of Fast-Food Technology from Adam Kuban on Vimeo.
I’m not a fast food fanatic, but the Col-Pop is one damn great idea. It’s a soda cup with a bowl lid to keep your soda and nuggets in one convenient design. You still have to use your other hand to grab the nuggets, but maybe a tilt into the mouth works. It’s “convenience design” at it’s best 😉
Watch the Video here.
Reminds me a bit of the neat Wine Tapa Plates.

Who says ya can’t make something cool with translucent brown tape. Mixed media artist Mark Khaisman layers several pieces of tape on Plexiglas panels to create these mesmerizing rustic illuminations with textures much like a knife painting with broad wide strokes. Very cool, time lapse like retro, and mysterious… I’ll have to make some myself. (I love tape).
I’ll post a bunch of his pieces after the jump.

The pixelated “Icon Watch” that I posted about almost 2 years ago has found it’s way into production. Congrats. Buy it here! ($82ish)
update: MoMa Store picked it up, so you can buy it for $75.(I’m buying it next trip down)
“VideoTrace is a system for interactively generating realistic 3D models of objects from video – models that might be inserted into a video game, a simulation environment, or another video sequence. The user interacts with VideoTrace by tracing the shape of the object to be modeled over one or more frames of the video.”
Pretty neat! For someone not experienced in 3D modeling, this is a great alternative. Reminds me of SketchUp to some degree, which is cool since you can add your models into Google Earth…Otherwise, I like how VideoTrace generates a 3 dimensional model based on a trace from a video, though I’m still not exactly sure how the software pinpoint hat angle you are at.
Very cool placement of an ad on Global warming!
“Don’t let this be our future.
Save our rainforest, stop global warming.”
A ceramic radiator cup… keeping your hands cool, and your drink hot! I want!
Or you can always go for the Bodum double walled glasses which work just as good but are pretty fragile.

Johnny Chung Lee is one awesome creator. Over the past few months he’s been banging out some sweet Wii-mote mods for a “Minority Report” like interface, a low cost “Multi-touch white board”, and most recently a sweeeet “VR Headtracking” concept that will make any Wii fanatic jealous. Nintendo’s gotta hire this guy for R+D. He just plain rocks!
I’ll post a 3 of his whimsical tutorial videos after the jump, otherwise, hit up his web page for some other sweet tricks up his sleeve.
Hahaha, this made me smile in an odd happy nodding my head sideways kinda way. Derrick Wang brings to us a delicate white piggy bank that has a hidden little agenda… when ya bust it open to collect your sweet savings, it spills out the pigs red guts with it! yikes! Yeah, I know kinda disgusting but kinda cool!
It does make me question how did the piggy bank start and why a pig…ahhh, here it is!
This comes to show that if you treat certain ritualistic objects with a bit more reality(humor) it makes ya smile and buy stuff!(though I’m not a huge advocate of Consumerism)
