A Complete Room…….In a Box

Casulo is a mobile living device which is currently just a prototype but the whole idea and concept is just so genius.  Essentially the Casulo is a complete set of room furniture which can be set up in less than ten minutes and later disassembled and repacked like a standard Euro pallet of 80 cm by 120 cm.

Wallee for Ipad – A New Type of Hard Case

No! Before you go any further it has absolutely nothing to do with WALL•E, Disney’s lovable little yellow robot. The Wallee is a new hard case designed for the iPad, but with a little twist.

The Wallee is a hard protective case with a small shape cut into the back. This allows the iPad to be mounted on a wall plate within your home. That’s right- THE WALL. Via the product site;

A simple turn and click & your iPad is locked into position, another turn and click and it is released together with its hard protective shell.

The Wallee is now available for purchase and you can buy one for $49.95 AU ( Australian dollars ) here. You can also buy extra wall plates for $10 AU . You will also get free worldwide shipping. (Yay! Free shipping!)

You’ve invented something useful.

Love boards but hate tacks? The solution; use electricity. IT’S INVISIBLE.

Exercise bike?

…Or something better? No, It’s an exercise bike. It’s the Ciclotte, which borrows heavily from the design of a monowheel prototype cycle called the Ciclò. The cost? $10,700. That’s rich! I mean you. Not me.

Finally! A universal stove.

The William. Customizable burner sizes aplenty. This stove works by tiny hexagonal cells that heat individually. What’s that i hear about child safety? Not a problem! It only heats when there is pressure on a cells, and only if you tell it to. Continue reading

Sexy; Doin’ it wrong!

Listen people, this is not how sexy is done. You couldn’t be any farther from it.

The user needs this device to assist in getting in and out of bed safely. “It has a nice cushion grip, is attractive, and easy to install. It is not as sturdy as I would have hoped it would be. It wiggles a bit in the middle and that makes me a bit nervous.”

It would make me nervous too if I was hanging upside down on it! On a side note, does anyone else use the john with their pants on?

Did my eyes just explode?

This is…I’m not exactly sure what this is.

The PixCell is a cathode ray tube—old school TV—covered with glass beads. Created by Kohei Nawa, it could make most of TV programming a wholalot more betterer, no licking of little stamps with colorful pictures required.

Hmmm. A TV with glass beads on it. I’d hit that smash it with a hammer. Hit the jump for two moar.

Don’t say that you didn’t expect it; Lady Gaga’s piano.

Its really awesome looking, and i’d totally buy it!

Having trouble figuring out how the above is a piano? Designer Apostol Tnokovski sure gave it some crazy curves. Apparently he was watching Lady Gaga perform and saw that she was using just any ol’ set of keys. He decided to take matters into his own hands.

He calls his creation the Hydra. It’s not actually an official piece that Lady Gaga will use on stage (well, unless she sees in and decides to, that is), rather he just wanted to create something that would look like something she’d use.

It’s definitely different than any piano we’ve ever seen, and we’ve seen some crazy pianos. Look down below for an extra shot of the Hydra from the front.

Its really does look like something that Lady Gaga would use. No word on how much it costs, but hey, price shouldn’t matter when you’re famous!

Hit the jump for one more. Continue reading

Where will the homeless sleep now?

After a slow news day yesterday, I decided to get drunk. Really drunk. This morning, I found myself waking up on a bench. Not this bench, one in central park. But still, I’m glad it wasn’t this bench. It would’ve been an awfully sore walk home.

It’s all from the twisted imagination of designer Fabian Brunsing, who’s asking for half a Euro for the chance to rest. Otherwise, the bench won’t retract the rather mean looking spikes that cover the seat.

I hope these don’t come to the us. If I have any more nights like last night, I might be in trouble.

But the floor is so much cheaper!

Drink coasters are for rich bastards who buy expensive tables. I’m not one of those people. I just put my drinks on the floor because I’m a normal person. For those of you who are too rich to be normal, there are these.

If you’re really worried about someone’s beverage leaving a wet ring on your coffee table, and I mean really worried, these titanium and carbon fiber coasters are probably your best solution to the problem. They’re also going to be remarkably light, and they look pretty slick, which totally justifies their $250 price tag. And that’s $250 each. Of course if you want a full set you’re going to have to act fast since they’re only being produced in a limited run of 35 pieces from Black Badger.

Yes, they’re awesome because of the titanium and carbon fiber, which looks cool, but seriously; $250 for ONE coaster? No. Just no.
