Bubble Wrap Pillow

Bubble wrap can be used in various ways. Other than packing, they have many other applications.

Bubble wrap is both cheap and comfortable. Its great to use everywhere. Instead of keeping a pillow inside your pillow cover, try this! Take about 2-meter long roll of bubble wrap. Fold a few times and place it inside the cover. They will be great to use in your home or workplace. Don't worry about them popping. When you sit, your weight is equally balanced on the entire surface.

Get a better night's sleep the next time you camp. Just by carrying a 2 or 4 meter roll of bubble wrap with you, you can have a very comfortable sleep. Take the long roll and fold it several times. Then you can place this under your sleeping bag or even use it as a sleeping bag. You can even roll some bubble wrap to your hands and legs. The wrap will keep you warm when it is chill!

Cleaning your glassware

Salt can help you amazingly in cleaning. You can use salt to remove tough stains on your glassware. It is both cheap and effective.

Remove stubborn marks from Glassware - To remove lipstick or paint stains, you can use salt. Just add salt to a large bowl. Now immerse all your glassware into the bowl. Let them stay for a day. Then remove them and wipe with a soft cloth. The stains should have gone!

Clean discolored glass - Did your dishwasher fail to remove those stubborn stains from your glassware? Hand-scrubbing failed too? Try mixing a handful of salt in a bowl full of vinegar. Soak your glassware overnight in the solution. The stains should wipe off easily the next morning! Just wipe with a soft cloth.

Try this tip - Mix 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda into a cup of water. Rinse and Gargle everyday. The solution acts as an excellent mouthwash.

Amazing Cool Barcode



What’s in a barcode? More than you might imagine, when idealized through the eyes of some very creative Japanese artists.

You will be amazed at what can be done with a few straight lines and a push to think outside of a very ordinary box.

UPC symbols are ubiquitous and constant reminders that we are a civilization of consumers. Up until now, there was no distinguishing one from the other.

That’s all changed since a Japanese company named D-Barcode came up with some very creative and innovative ideas on how to make these uninteresting lines actually enjoyable to look upon.

It is said that barcodes are the bane of the modern graphic designer. Many distribution people compound the headache by insisting on conspicuous white rectangles, which may or may not fit the context involved. The changes are little and subtle, and yet at the same time, enormous.

Now picking up a bottle or box at the supermarket may bring a smile to your face, not because of a price reduction but rather form a funny unexpected face or form smiling back at you from the label on the back of the package.
This enhancement of the consumer experience is brilliant on many levels. But why keep talking? Check out these cool barcodes and judge for yourself!

Google Office In Zurich

Damn, don't you want to work...ehem...(what work?!) in Google? They have everything a person needs in there and even more. They have massage chairs, slides, pool tables and other games, private cabins and much more. It's a good idea to have these atmosphere, where Google will let their 'player' do as creative as they can. These photos are from Google office in Zurich. If somehow you are a googleians or Google robots crawling to this site. Damn...we are all envy you playground! hahaha...

UFO Conference Phone



Did you see all the cool stuff Google has installed in its office for the benefit of its employees? I’m sure most of us don’t even get a fraction of what those guys have. Without being envious, I think its time we spoke to our bosses and at least got some funky looking gadgets on our desks! Like this Conference System that looks like an odd UFO or something. I’m sure if we look into its specs, we’ll find something to rave about it to THE BOSS.

Dishy to look at, the system features an extra-flat Hi-Fi speaker disk along with a detachable remote. The system is hooked up to Wi-Fi so that you are always on the top of the latest buzz. It automatically updates you on the company’s contact book, calendar, meetings alarm, business trip schedule reminders and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Moving on to the remote, it’s like a solid piece of cylinder in your hands. It has a touch dial interface that comes to life when you use it. Color codes differentiate between incoming messages, voice mails and calls. To keep it going, it tanks up using Induction technology.
Sour gapes or whatever! If can’t have a Google Office then I want this!

Wrist Headset Bluetooth


Every once in a while, some new concept comes out that is actually a good idea. We have been seeing a lot of wrist watches that can act as mobile phones lately, but I think we are just creating those to fulfill some vintage Dick Tracy fantasy. This is one concept wrist phone device that won’t require you to talk to your wrist.

The On Time Headset System is a bracelet that comes with a pop-out wireless headset. I suppose that is a better place to put your Bluetooth headset than your pocket.

The bracelet has a secondary display, so if your headset rings, you can just look down and see who is calling. I would imagine that the bracelet display can show the time, making it a very fancy wristwatch.

By the way, did I mention that the displays are both touchscreens? Well, they are, and they would hopefully not require tiny fingertips in order to use.

My source referred to the OnTime Headset System as the “future of bling”, and I can’t help but feel that it is about time that tech and bling combined to create something like this. Well, as I mentioned before, this is only a concept, but I already want it on my wrist.

Lighting Tea Bag

Surely you caffeine addicts will agree, coffee truly is the sexually oriented drink - It picks you up! It illuminates your world, if I may say so. Designer / Bookmark Maker Wonsik Chae takes this concept to an elegant level by making the drop-in tea bag light up your environment chemically. For those whose eyes are sensitive to brightness in the mornings, I recommend a different cup. For those who love lamp(s), drop it!

As the tea bag empties its taste into a tea cup, so does the “Lighting Bag” empty its light into any fluid-holding container. What Wonsik hopes to accomplish with this project is to tear down the idea that creating forms from which light can be projected must be a difficult task - he wants light forms to flow easily.

Having a manifesto for your industrial design project can be a dangerous rope to walk - what do you make of Wonsik’s liquid light concept?

Peugeot Touch Me Michael, I Just Drive For You










You love light-up cars, right? You want your car to stick-out and keep the streets bright, right? How would you like your car to be uniquely coded to open and activate based on your touch- your fingerprints and more? Ask Enache Florin to hand the plans over. Here is the Peugeot “Touch.”

Designer Enache Florin keeps your car private, maybe:

[The Peugeot Touch] has a light weight body that in some areas, like the doors, are placed touch-sensitive sensors and finger recognition. [These sensors ensure that] only the owner can use the car. Everything is opened [and activated] by touch. The lights compose symbols made out of LED’s, in this way the car has it’s own identity at night. This associates the car with its parent company, identifying it uniquely as the Peugeot Touch.

Take note: if you want to ask questions about the logistics of the “Touch,” post comments below and Mr. Florin or one of his associates would be happy to answer some way or another, I’m sure.

1. This is no inexpensive car, for sure, but once the price barrier is broken, will a car that’s gotta be programmed to it’s driver be a realistic goal?

2. How about if we take that feature and make it regular for lots of cars?

3. Speed Racer. Time-lapse photography’s gonna be hot with this one.

Designer: Enache Florin

Shefling or Desking Wallwave

When we go out and buy that big piece of furniture, we usually know exactly what it’s for. However, what if that piece of furniture could be reinterpreted differently by people. Take for instance this design by Yoon-Zee Kim. To one person it may simple be funky shelving. To another, it’s seating and a desk. Take a look around at your stuff. Do you see other uses for them?

Designer: Yoon-Zee Kim

Brooch - Soundboard





This speaker concept called Brooch has no built-in soundboard. You have to bring that to the party. With its specially design suction cup, attach it to any smooth, flat surface. Different surfaces have different tones to them. The idea is to experiment. All music controls are projected onto that same surface for simulated touchscreen goodness. What do you guys think? Win?

Designer: KyungRyul Lim & Miyeon Kim

Have an Expresso




An espresso machine is a challenging object to design, on the one hand you have to innovate and appeal to the eye, and on the other hand it has to be pragmatic and intuitive to use as is the original design of an espresso machine.This design is about reconstructing the parts that make an espresso machine, while innovating in its curvature, without loosing its simplicity of use. All you need to do now is pick a cup out of its branch and make yourself a morning espresso.

Designer: Adam Zerbib

Tile - Hexagonal Modular Lighting System





Tile is a clean, unique, playful, contemporary, and multifunctional LED lighting device. Because of its modular nature with the unique joints that allow the lighting units to rotate in both X axis and Z axis, it functions as a work lamp, a floor lamp, and a wall lamp. It can also reconfigure into a decorative lighting device that provoke the mood of the environments.

In the wall lamp mode, the lamp suspends from ceiling with electric core connected on two sides. The lamp lights up from the back and shine through against the wall creating interesting lighting effects.
