What A Purdy Washing Machine

What A Purdy Washing Machine

Flexible Distance is a top loading washing machine developed for Ye Xiao Dong as winners of the “Lavatrice Cinese Made In Milan” competition. The emphasis? Pure style. The idea is this machine is so beautiful, it can be placed anywhere in the home; even as a center piece. But how can a washing machine be this mobile? By caster wheels of course. However beauty is only skin deep. The real innovation here is the interface.

Two Faced Tray

Two Faced Tray

Two2tray is a snack/fruit tray, but with a philosophical antidote. In our daily lives people judge things based on context clues. In the case of this snack tray, the happy and angry face could lead you to believe to avoid one food for the other. Another useful whim would be to put a really fattening dip on one side and a semi-healthy one in the other. That way your guests can’t complain if they get fat off your snacks. Hey, the faces warned them.

Tetris & Pong Forever

Tetris & Pong Forever

Relive the gaming glory of your youth by immersing yourself in quick games of Tetris and Pong Forever. Sure today’s video games are a bit tricky for the rusty out dated gamer but at least with the Nixon watch, you’ll always feel right at home. My only question is who do I play Pong against? My left and right hands aren’t exactly evenly matched so it wouldn’t be a fair game.

Tok Tak Plug Plays Music

Tok Tak Plug Plays Music

The Tok Tak is certainly one of the most basic and smallest MP3 player concepts we’ve seen. The entire device looks like a standard audio jack, in fact that’s pretty much what it is. The plug dangles from your earphones when used on the go. People might mistake you for crazy walking around with what looks like earbuds attached to nothing but they’d be wrong.

Radiators Have Other Uses Too

Radiators Have Other Uses Too

As winter’s cold creeps in, we all revel in the little things to keep cozy. The Natural Wave is ceramic plate that fits over an old school radiator. The heated plate keeps your drinks and snacks warm without having to use additional power and energy like a microwave or oven. Pretty ingenious and if anything, it makes those old rusty radiators look a lot better.

Not Just An Eraser, It's Ultraser

Not Just An Eraser, It’s Ultraser

Dry erase boards are fun and I’m not just talking about sniffing markers. I’m talking about writing anything you want without getting your hands all chalky and erasing it whenever you want. Problem is those rectangular dry erasers aren’t exactly ergonomic, especially when you have a huge board to clean. That’s where the Ultraser steps in.

An alternative is the Shower Sticker designed by Sun-ah Sin. It’s made from a rubbery material that’ll stick to any surface. Just slip your shower hose thru and move it anywhere you like.
