The Live Book is a small planter wearing sheep’s clothing – that is to say a book. It’s a great way to jazz up that old book shelf and lets face it. Most of us rarely read our collection of books more than once. If anything, it becomes a display piece and so why not add a little green to it. The removable vase has a simple drainage system and actually opens up into a real book.

Capture It Naturally is a clear clock with 4 suction cups meant to stick to a window. It tells time like any ordinary clock but since it’s clear, time now has a visual anchor since you can see straight thru the clock. 7 pm could be accompanied by the setting sun or a soft moonlit glow. Noon could be cloudy and rainy or sunny and bright. It’s a great way to tell time and weather all in once glance.

Eat your heart out multi-touchscreen iPhone. The Haptic phone not only sports the cool touchiness, but also the very cool hapticness. The entire front and back of the phone is a touchscreen. However the screen not only shows a graphic UI, it also sports a PUI (physical user interface). The surface area can raise to mimic all kinds of buttons.

Jewelry is never really meant to function in any purposeful way. People wear them to adorn and decorate. The perfume ring by Johanna Jansson flips that around and gives function to what otherwise would just be a bobble on our fingers.

An exploration of tangible vs virtual in relation to real and perceived value. Using google image search, we browsed through some of the most expensive and often famous jewelry in the world, the low-res images we found were stolen, doctored, then transferred to leather, creating a tangible new incarnation.

Included with each cup are spare snaps and some epoxy, just like a nice shirt that comes with extra buttons and thread.

M60M, times have changed. Instead of hands (hours/minutes/seconds) one rotating disc shows the time in hours and quarters (marks). The clock face exists as a ring only, the center is completely empty. Using a similar system as the snowboard soft bindings for the wrist, the watch can be worn tight or loose. By pressing the open button the wrist will open it self due to the spring tension of the steel.

We pay a lot of money for these products, but there aesthetics seldom fit our overall interior style at home and we tend to stow them away.

In a society where each person strives to create his/her own fashion identity, mass produced fashion items fail to deliver consumer’s needs to be unique. In a competitive and saturated eyewear market, sheer volume of similar products forces even the most “unique” item to be common.
