An installation called “Fish Bowls” comprises of 15 different fish bowls that explores variations of the iconic place setting. Each piece examines a topic or suggests a solution to an issue. “Dear neighbor”, for example tells us about the delicate relationships we have with our close neighbors. “Suicidal Tendencies” prevents your fish from committing suicide, and “XS or XL?” gives your fish a chance to decide how big of a bowl he wants.

Hairdryers are rarely the focus of much excitement, let alone creativity, when it comes to design, which is strange really, considering what a vital piece of equipment it is in most women’s (and a lot of men’s) armoury. But this might be about to change, thanks to Italian designers deepdesign who have developed a very handsome prototype for a dryer called ‘Winds’.

A curved ruler? Why would anyone need one? It’s not curved horizontally, it’s curved vertically so you have to press down on it to get a smooth edge. Sure, it may sound a bit unrealistic But it’s this kind of eccentric idea that makes the Arch Ruler more convenient and enjoyable than your old fashioned, traditional ruler.

Nothing gets your morning going like a cup of joe and a piece of toast slathered in your favorite spread. Of course, it can also be the time of day when things are hectic to start. Kids running around, people in and out, everyone trying to remind everyone else about the super important soccer meet after school. Next time, put it on toast.

This is for all those people that never give you the exact time when you ask them. Face it, most of us do it. When we look at an analog clock, we don’t think 6:22, we think 6:20. Rounding off seems to be the fastest way to read time sans a digital watch.

To prepare for a natural disaster, you need to be equipped. Maximize your survival rate by inundating any and everything that could possibly be used for food, water, and light. In regard to the latter, boozehounds will rejoice to hear that having multiple bottles of “drank” may indeed save them.

The tie clip MP3 player is exactly what is says, a tie clip MP3 player. What’s a tie clip? For shame! A tie clip is a simple clasp or clip used to keep the two dangling ends of a tie together. Sometimes it’s even clipped to the dress shirt underneath so your tie won’t move. Now, throw in a single line LCD, some simple play/stop controls, and a little flash memory and you’ve got yourself a tie clip MP3 player.
