Standard desk lamps with shades are a thing of the past (and super boring), but the Tetris Desk Lamp made by the official Tetris Brand is another story. The stackable tetiminio blocks will apparently light up when stacked on top of one that is already lit, although we cannot find an explanation online as to how this product actually works (or how one block is lit ...
Jirka Väätäinen is a Finnish graphic design student who has an obvious love for female Disney characters. The artist used photo manipulation to bring the characters “to life” (so to speak) by creating images based on combined elements from different photos of real life women who resemble the characters. He then made a composite of images in Photoshop, and the results are pretty impressive. Ever wonder what ...

In an age where technology allows for a constant bombardment on our senses, where tablet computers and smartphones mean we are reachable 24/7, One Sense headphones, by Joe Doucet, symbolize the human need for periods of peace and tranquility. One Sense not only obscures environmental sight and sound from encroaching on the wearer, but utilises the color red and a display of spikes, drawn from nature’s symbols ...
Haunting images of a once-busy city now abandoned and preserved in time look like a scene from a post-apocalyptic horror film. Pripyat city in the Ukraine once housed the families of thousands of men and women working at the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. But on 26 April 1986 disaster struck when an explosion at the plant caused radiation to leak from its nuclear rector. SOME ...
Young designer Yuchen Liu has designed a charging device that is the cat’s meow. No really, your cat will love this, but keep her furry self away from this charger that features a ball of yarn with a plug on the end. The playful design serves a bigger purpose than to make you (and your kitty) smile, the wool can be unravelled to achieve a greater ...
We love Lego, and chances are, if you or someone you know was a 90′s baby, you are a fan too. Fittingly, we have some fantastic sculptures made by Bruce Lowell to share with you, all of which are made from Lego. Lowell makes LOTS of cool stuff from Lego (as you can see) , but the sculptures of food are our favourites because of the ...
We literally gasped when we saw photos of the stunning Luminarie De Cagna – an imposing cathedral-like structure that was part of the recent 2012 Light Festival in Ghent Belgium. The structure towers 28 meters high (approx 92 feet) and consists of a colonnade made of wood and 55,000 LED lights that illuminate its facade and ceiling. Luminarie De Cagna is the name of an Italian ...
CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE Aside from the fact that this post is a gross generalization, it’s also likely to be true for some A-list celebrities who make piles and piles of cash. If you’ve often wondered how they can possibly spend what they are making, this chart compiled by the New York magazine attempts to shed some light. The data was provided by a high-level Hollywood ...
Let’s be honest, in the wee hours of the morning when you have to get up and get ready to go to work, the one thing that sounds better than having to think about the process it takes to make yourself a coffee would be not having to think at all! Well…thanks to Saeco’s latest design in espresso machines, your hazy morning daydream can be a ...
Tejo Remy and Rene Veenhuizen has designed the Bamboestoel – a Dutch term for Bamboo chair – using one of nature’s more versatile and plentiful resources. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth making it a highly sustainable material to be used for building, furniture and plenty more. Instead of using regular wood, the artists chose bamboo for this chair design because of its ...
Silk is a natural resource made from worms, and in rare cases, spiders too. This silk dress was made from the silk of 1 million golden orb spiders and took five years to harvest, prepare and make into a dress. The most impressive part is not the fact that a spider spun some awesome silk, but that the colour inherent in the dress is the natural ...

Instead, the Citrus Spritzer allows you to insert the Stem effortlessy thanks to serrated teeth and pump the spray nozzle until you’ve achieved the desired amount of citrusy goodness.

If you’ve reached this part of the page by now, you are surely aware that the product we’ve shared with you above is not exactly kosher material when it comes to gentlemen’s drinking flasks. Nope, not at all. The Freedom Flask is a flexible pouch that allows concert-goers, tailgaters and stadium game-goers to bring their own booze onto the premises in the most discreet way possible. ...
The Car Park proposal was designed by Interface Studio Architects in an attempt to integrate the automobile culture in the ever-expanding vertical environment in Hong Kong. This Car Park serves a greater purpose than merely a place to leave one’s vehicle while visiting the city. Instead, the Car Park will become a distinctive urban structure that fits in with the dynamic urban architecture in Hong Kong ...
Ever wonder what happens to misprinted currency? In the case of decommissioned Euro notes, the money gets shredded and formed into a papery brick. The blocks hold no monetary value and are likely viewed as useless hunks of paper by the masses, but not to Irish artist, Frank Buckley. Buckley collected the pulped bricks totalling over 1 billion euro’s worth of paper shredded to build his ...
We love proof that not all teens are knuckle-headed baboons (sorry kids, it’s usually true), which is why we are so impressed with 17 year olds Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad of Canada who were able to launch a lego man with a Canadian flag into outer space for merely $400. How did they do it? The teens spent four months developing their Lego Space Man ...
Another fabulous example of something old made into something new, and in this case, something comfy, too. Artist and furniture designer, Dave Hall and business partner Donovan Fell of MotoArt have been working hard to provide consumers with unique bed designs made out of scraps of old airplanes and jets. Fit for an eclectic interior, these beds made out of various parts are truly unique. Consider ...
