Objects in Disguise




This is an interesting idea by a jewelery designer; to disguise obvious pieces of jewelry into something else- something more, not just face value. Simple concept that can be used countless times. Fab.

Wooden Properties


Wood is an astoundingly flexible material to work with but nothing could have prepared me for the process this guy went through to get that nail in.

Check out the video- but turn the sound off... the track is not so epic!




Inspired I am- trying it, most definitely!

Steampunk lamps



These curious pieces are made from new, recycled and found objects like an antique radio tube and parts from various barometers. They just look so smart and interesting.

Ausgebrannt



It doesn't get much better than this. Wow. This was one of those products you see where time stands still while jaw slowly drops and eyes widen.

I was immediately attracted to this stool by the contrasting textures and colour. I could see it was made from one piece and only noticed that it had been burnt by the last image shown.

Breath taking design process and end product. I love this elegant and natural organic shape but especially love that it has a dark element to it's creation.

Alternative Alarm Clock


This alarm clock uses a common electric outlet to allow the user to determine what they shall wake to.

I like this approach as it directs attention away from just sound and thus becoming an interaction where all your senses could be affected. I also really like that there are 2 sockets available. This means you could really mix up what your senses are alerted to. For me, It would be my coffee machine and my lamp.

I am not normally attracted to such a product but I think it works here. If the aesthetics were any different- it would not be as effective and as there is reason to it- it ticks my box.

Melvin the Machine by HEYHEYHEY


ONE DAY I WILL MAKE THIS! I found throughout this video a smile became a stupid grin to laughter- inspired (and jealous) I am.

(Best ending too- men in white coats begin to put it right!)
