A Real Thumb Drive or Fingering Tool

A Real Thumb Drive or Fingering Tool

There is nothing more annoying than an opposable thumb that opposes the way you hammer a nail or screw a phillips head. No more throbbing red digits with this handy construction aid called “Shark” by Matthias Pinkert. Designed to protect and perfectly align your nail or screw, I can see this being a part of every tool box belonging to those of us less coordinated craftsmen or women.

Cook Top Vesta for the Small, Tight, and Cramped

Cook Top Vesta for the Small, Tight, and Cramped

Matthias Pinkert must have had me in mind when he designed the Cook Top Vesta, one of this year’s entries in the Electrolux design competition. For people constantly on the go, living in apartments where kitchen, living, closet, and sleeping all seem to blend into one. The Cook Top Vesta is a fold down cooking surface. Flip the top up when not in use to access a prep surface. It’ll also read RFID enabled food packaging to a certain proper cook times and even suggest recipes, if say all you got is a box of dry rotini pasta.

By The Power Of Rings

The RIMA lamp is an awesome beauty that has what it takes to be artistic and fun. Four controller rings manage the whole show…sliding them left to right or vice versa illuminates the LEDs or switches them off. The heat, intensity, angle of the beam and color are controlled via these rings, however a processor, which detects the position of each single ring, regulates the actions.
