Ropes for Bums

Ropes for Bums

And of course by bums I mean rumps, bottoms, butts, whatever you’d like to call your pillowy hindquarters. You’re about to get held up by some industrial rope design and curly, twisty, lovely wooden beauty. This is “Tensile Furniture” by designer Yoav Reches and it requires no tools to assemble. Made of wood, a tiny bit of metal, and rope, and that’s it. The rope, as guided through a pattern of grooves, gets groovy by holding the whole structure of each bit of furniture here together. Then you sit. No extra intelligence needed, just a little physics knowledge to get you going.

Loop Makes The Difference

Loop Makes The Difference

i-sound Transformable Earphones are simple! They are normal earbud-style and they don’t presume that your ear hole will be a perfect fit. Hence they come with a cord-loop that goes around the earlobe. I told you the design was simple and easy to implement, why didn’t Sony or Apple think of this? The earphones that came with my K750i keep falling out!

How To Fold A Bike Into A Cart

How To Fold A Bike Into A Cart

The concept of a folding cycle is not new to Yanko Design, and I really think the idea is worth developing, given the space constrains that bog us. Classifying the Ville as just another folding urban commuter cycle will not be fair. The design concept goes a step further by adding functionality to the folded form. It doubles up as a cart so that when you go grocery shopping, you don’t leave this cool bike parked outside to tempt thieves, you take it along indoors.

One Sheet, One Lamp

One Sheet, One Lamp

That’s all you really need to make basically anything with no moving parts – one sheet of metal. It’d better be bendable though at some point or you’ve just got a shoe shelf. The project we’re talking about right here was bendable, now it’s all squared up! Yes indeedy, it’s a lamp! The “Qbik” lamp is a table lamp that was released during the Milan 2010 fair, designed by Enrico Zanolla and Andrea Di FIlippo for Miniforms Spa. It’s just 2mm thick, cut by laser and folded to boxy perfection.

Cute Puppy Bowl Holders on the Bend

Cute Puppy Bowl Holders on the Bend

Hooray! I love me some doggie products, especially since my Fiance and I are getting our first puppy in less than a week! You know what that means? It’s time to start thinking about accessorizing. Not just collars and fabulous chew toys, those are a given, what about some nice doggie bowls? Every dog’s gotta eat, and the bowls have gotta be there somewhere in the house, so why not make them look fantastic? Here’s a solution: Roxie Doggie bowls!

What Do FIFA Referees Lack? Third Eye

What Do FIFA Referees Lack? Third Eye

It only takes a stinky fish to dirty the entire pond, and this year FIFA has 2 fishes tainting their image. To rub salt over our wounds Sepp Blatter apologizes but still says FIFA has reservations over incorporating technology into the sport. I have only two words for him: England and Mexico! Even a money-spinning sport like cricket has adopted the third umpire into the game, because we are only HUMANS! FIFA too needs a “Referee Third Eye”.
