The liquid wax is drawn into the reservoir preventing a mess on the side of the candle stick. The melted wax can then be removed from the reservoir and a new candle paced in the base.

Architect Michael Jantzen is frequently featured on these pages, and now you can own one of the experimental designer’s most seminal works. Chicago’s Wright auction house will be selling off the M-house on March 25 (2007).

When furniture is fused with high tech kit the results are often about as comfortable and stylish as sandpaper g-string. But the new Music Sofa by designer Giongkun Wuqiongkun defies the norm with its charmingly curvaceous lines and comfy interior cushion, which sent us from nought to napping in only a few seconds… until we were suddenly awoken by some beefy rock riffs. See, this sofa contains a stonking wireless speaker set-up.

Dedon has designed a completely unconventional collection of furniture that has its origins in the harmony of forms: the Dedon Signature Collection, Yin Yang. The idea came to designer Nicolas Thomkins on the Island of Cebu’s beach of Olango. He sketched out the first draft of the design in the sand with a stick: a piece of furniture made up of two elements that appear as if they were formed by nature like stones worn down by water or sand dunes shaped by the wind.

Royal VKB just keeps coming up with simple and ingenious ways of improving kitchenware. Its latest revelation, courtesy of Jan Hoekstra, is a series of pots of pans that have all the practical requirements of cookware: high-grade stainless steel, dishwasher safe, hearty, robust design. However it is the small details that set this series apart. A small lip at the edge of each pot means it’s not only safe and easy to pour but with a twist of the lid the pan becomes a strainer.

At night-time it’s difficult to practice sports because of the diminished visual references. The idea is to consider this parameter not as a handicap but as a way to value the other senses, the imaginary and the imagination. Virtual Park is a light spray which ables you to play in the dark and to create your own playground and environment and so your own game. Two hours later there will be no trace. The game is over. Have no limit, play anywhere!
