I'm Melting, Melting, Melting. . .

I’m Melting, Melting, Melting. . .

Those words have never been acted out better by the Wicked Witch of the West but boy does she have some competition. The Guallart building in Wroclaw Poland is one of the candidates for the 2012 World Expo and looks to be a melting mass of steel and glass. Organic and extremely stark in contrast to everything else around it, the Guallart building hopes to have the world flock to it to show off  the coolest of cool and the futurist of future.

Bouncy Bedside Table

Bouncy Bedside Table

OMG it’s floating! No actually it’s a cleverly designed system of support frames and stretch lycra. Yes I said lyrca. The Bouncy Bedside Table invokes mushy dream images of surfaces you might be familiar with during your nightly sleeps; how everything seems to be able to change at an instance. The surface changes shapes under the weight of different objects you place on it – sorta like your dreams.

U-jade

U-jade

OMG it’s an electronic gadget that doesn’t start with an “i”! Brownie points to designer Rong Yong. His U-Jade concept is a device that communicates the location and path of other U-Jade equipped vehicles. This help you drive smarter, choosing routes that might be less busy. The device itself looks like a piece of Chinese jade jewelry cut into the classic shape that symbolizes security.

A Lighthouse For The New Age

A Lighthouse For The New Age

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.

Kista Coffin Shows A Whimsical Love

Kista Coffin Shows A Whimsical Love

Who says coffins have to be grand and morbid? The Kista Coffin takes a whimsical approach to something that most people don’t realize is a huge industry. The lid is accented with little yellow hearts but wait, this isn’t a coffin for people. It’s a coffin for your feathered ones – you know the ones that squawk at 6 AM every morning.

Marrakesh by Mindspring

Marrakesh by Mindspring

As the name suggests, the Marrakesh is inspired by ancient design concepts. Its inspiration derives from Chinese lattice works, and the Middle Eastern concept of Aniconism, the basis of much of Islamic art. This yields a light as innovative as it is practical.

Z.Car Project

Z.Car Project

Architect Zaha Hadid may not be the first name to cross your mind when you think “concept car.” But after creating a plant for BMW in Leipzig, Germany, and a car park in Strasbourg, France, Hadid needed to design an actual car to complete her automotive work. Or so thought car collector and art dealer Kenny Schachter, who had exhibited work from her studio at his London gallery.

I Can Crack Your Nuts

I Can Crack Your Nuts

This is probably the sexiest nut cracker I have ever seen, no pun intended. The minimalist design belies its sinister function but it manages to complete its task in such an elegant way, you forgive it.

Water Recycling Washer & Dryer

Water Recycling Washer & Dryer

Why of why can’t something like this be on the market now? I’m so tired of hauling my dirty clothes to a laundry mat, paying a dollar per load, and then standing guard in case some impatient nunny decides to excavate, leaving my clothes a sopping mess on a table.

The Subway Light by Caroline Pham

The Subway Light by Caroline Pham

Caroline’s winning conceptual submission is a public art piece that encourages biophilia and, in effect, promotes energy saving technology while providing sunlight to sun-deprived underground subways. By using fiber optic technology and patented sunlight collection panels, she plans to introduce sunlight to one of the most frequently enclosed urban environments: The Subway.

Easy Closets

Easy Closets

A closet door with hooks that fold out when open. That’s the general and brilliant idea behind the Easy closet. Storage space is sometimes a premium so any innovate way to get more of what you already have can be god send. There are enough hooks on the door to hang everything from bags to coats.

Purity Notebook But A Litte Like A Mac

Purity Notebook But A Litte Like A Mac

Right now the in thing with notebook computers are clean lines, and minimal design features. The Purity Notebook takes that to the extreme but manages to throw in a few of its own unique touches like the high lacquer finish. Nevermind the very Macbook Pro-like keyboard, it’s for the Windows crowd.
