If you’re looking for something with a sense of humor, then may I suggest The Bathroom Body Builders! Three muscle-rippling hunks that put any WWE champ to shame…they wrestle your toothbrush and contact lens-case to stay fit! Refine the form a tad bit more and I’m sold!
Designer: James W. Breaux
The Triple Flip is an attempt to make smartphones more useful than they already are. Claiming to be the first of its design ever to feature Windows Phone 7 OS, the phone has much more to offer than just that. Solar recharging, flip-out & sliding keyboards and other refinements make this a cool concept. What’s left to be seen is its acceptance by the general public. Hit the jump for the video.

It’s called the Galleria Centercity in Cheonan South Korea, designed to respond to the current retail climate in Asia. It’s a massive department store that also operates as a social a semi-cultural meeting place – a museum if you will.

I have a slight moral issue with publishing a post about a weapon but this smg concept called the Peace Maker is quite beautiful. The designer hasn’t explored all the working mechanics yet but it’s meant more for the gaming universe anyways – a light weight weapon with mid-range sight and silencer. Deadly.

Trust the Russians to teach us how to train a dog! Actually it’s more like shooting, err… walking them on a leash with the Povodokus! A pistol – shaped retractable dog-leash fit enough for your canine friend. Make that ANY friend!

Unlike many car-goers in Los Angeles, I will hop on the bus any chance I can get! I’m sure if the LA Metro looked anything like the Cityline concept others would be more inclined to use what I like to refer to as- my “public chauffeur”. The daytime LEDs add to it’s futuristic look, and I particularly love the way the windows merge seamlessly with the exterior panels and roof to create a smooth silhouette.
Designers: Rafal Pilat & Michal Bonikowski
For those looking to put a little eco-friendliness in their step, the OneMoment shoe by Figtree Factory Studios offers comfort and modern style in this 100% biodegradable unisex slipper. Utilizing a bio-polymer injection process, the biodegradable plastic sole is only 2 mm thick (at least 3 mm less than traditional shoes) and the top portion is only 1mm thick. It only takes 6 months in the ground before 01M is 80% composted, so if they ever wear out you can guiltlessly leave them behind. Did I mention they’re only 5 euros per pair?

Leave the screwdriver in the toolbox. The Disque pendant lamp by Dutch designer Marc van der Voorn achieves is modest look from two translucent bowl-shaped discs that are bound together with nothing more than a thin 65 meter string (DIY people!). Weaved beautifully between the discs, the string gives a soft touch of character to an otherwise reserved design. A little alien mothership-ish, but overall quite appealing.
