We all know there are way too many flash memory card formats out there. At last I count I believe there are at least 9 of them. Normally I try to stick with SD or Micro SD cards but sometimes that’s not possible so what’s one to do when transporting all those easily lost cards? Get a memory card holder.

The chair looks simple and quiet, yet if you notice, there is a planter that wants to connect with the chair. As the plant grows, it becomes one with the chair; A unity of good fortune. As the two unite, the owner of the chair continues to bring life to them by feeding them and giving them fresh air and light. A pot of fortune to last a lifetime.

The “Heat” wall thermometer was designed as a symbolic reminder to the reality of global warming and the effects it has on our environment, especially our daily drinking water needs. Using a magnifying glass that marks the now not so exceptional 35-40 degree Celsius temperature area of the thermometer, it symbolically shows the viewer the common, yet undesirable increase in temperatures that are having a deep and worrying effect on our global drinking water supplies.

A new and innovative event has just taken place in the UK as part of the Design Council’s dot07.com festival. The event was created by Richard Liddle of Cohda design and ran from the 20-28 of October. As the event began, onlookers saw very little-only machinery and open space.

Going green doesn’t mean leaving your aesthetic aspirations in the lurch. Henrik Fisker, erstwhile designer of Aston Martins and current purveyor of high-end bespoke automobiles, has seen a gap in the market for a hyper-efficient yet super sleek sports sedan.

Pre-Packaged is a continuous circuit of light daisy-chained together kinda like Christmas lights. The reuse and repurpose function speaks to the eco-enthusiast within us while the soft glow from an embedded LED speaks to practical applications.

Go Green is a next generation of paper shredding machines and OH GOD how I LOVE shredding pepper. So what’s so “next-gen” about this? Not only does it slices, dices, and shreds. It also recycles your waste paper into new usable products. For example, scraps of paper are turned into Post-It notes. Clever clever!

Here’s a great way to get kids involved with cleaning up the beach. This toy octopus is missing his 8 legs. You’re supposed to find plastic bottles and screw them on to become his legs. Once you get all 8, he’ll be buoyant enough to float.

The design requires no filling material due to the structure of the felt material. However, collecting newspapers makes the news roll more comfortable and provides an incentive to reuse rather than recycle. The product is lightweight (without newspapers) and multi functional, with use as a mat, screen, stool and cushion, using 100% natural wool.
Designer: Andrew Millar
To teach humility towards the environment, the Lighthouse lamp doubles as an atrium nurturing a small plant. The humidity inside the Lighthouse is quite dense diffusing the light beautifully. However, touching it will clear the mirkiness to reveal your plant living in perfect isolation.
