Great design! Good design don’t has to scream. Looks good beside an apple product.

totally nice idea to help our environment, but most of those ideas are not new, we actually already do that in our daily life

I agree with the curmudgeons… these ideas are hardly green, just more sleek costumery for consumptive excesses that try, at least, to remove the guilt one might otherwise have.

On the other hand, there are ideas for the DIY crowd… I could, for example, use rubber bands to restrict the pump-bottle over-dispensing, and not worry that it’s getting gunked up by cosmetic goo. I already have a combination night-light emergency torch.

And, just to rub it in, why go out and buy something that’s PRINTED! just to have a note pad? Has nobody but me got an endless source of scrap paper?

This is just a disingenuous design suite. At least a 12-cylinder Lamborghini is honest about being defiantly NOT green! The dishonesty here is what prompts me to post.

Well the garbage bin/table idea is an already existing product, it’s still a good idea for efficiently saving space and brushing off eraser shavings, but it’s such a stretch to say it’s “GREEN” just because it removes the structural aspect of a dustbin. That’s such bullcrap.

The Bottleneck saver is a terrible idea. Producing this accessory product makes more waste and exhaust to the environment. It’s highly unnecessary.

Cup Lasso? Seriously? Dangling a boiling hot coffee cup in midair speaks stupidity. How is this in any way environmentally friendly. I’d like OrcaDesign to explain that one for me.

Now converting a table lamp into a multi-use flashlight is not a bad idea. The flower vase is pretty neat as well.

Interesting. The table garbage can is useless. Maybe I will add a toilet on the surface of my dining room table? Or a compost bin on my car’s dashboard?

These are nice products but I think they leave something to be desired in terms of Green or Sustainability. I think there is more to conservation then just recycling.
