There’s nothing worse than watching TV when suddenly a really bad show or infomercial comes on and the remote is nowhere to be found. It is at this point you begin to ponder whether or not your couch can actually eat objects. The problem is that remotes are rather small, and can easily be misplaced [...]

If you have already gone ahead and purchased the rose microphone and the daisy flower baby monitor, then there’s a good chance that this product will be of interest to you as well.

Generally, I’m not much for baths. They take a while to get ready, it gets boring to just lie there, the water inevitably cools off, and when I get out I don’t feel especially clean. If I had a Red Diamond Bathtub, though, all of my problems would be solved and showers would [...]

For those of you who live in houses with restricted gardens where space saving furniture is paramount the Rox bench could be the solution for you. In the winter the unit collapses down into a storage unit where you can keep garden tools, children’s toys, etc. In the summer it opens out into a 3 [...]

Even when electrical appliances are “turned off” they’re actually still drawing small amounts of energy. You’d be amazed how much energy is wasted in this low power state. JustDrawIt is sort of a home timer for anything that can be totally powered down without affecting functionality. Lamps, microwaves, toasters are some of the most common [...]

The Japanese believe that LED lighting will bring healing or soothing effect, which releases all the stress from your body. It’d be a plus, when LED soothing is applied together with some aroma, especially when you’re bathing.

We’re no strangers to out-there bathroom fixtures, but the $47,000 Red Diamond bathtub from Water Games Technologies is probably a new low high in powder room decadence. The screaming-red tub features multicolor lighting, a computer-controlled heating system that maintains your desired water temperature, an automatic disinfection system and built-in massager. Of course, that’s what any [...]

We liked these light orbs, but have less positive feelings towards the conceptually-similar outdoor lamps above— instead of being ethereal and round, they’re shaped like the sort of tree that sometimes lines paths or a road. The lamp’s name is Kanpazar. It comes in 31 and 58-inch heights and is imported from Spain. If you [...]

You don’t want your lamps to look like everyone else’s, do you? That’s why you might feel like folding your own with this Fold Your Lamp design concept by Thomas Hick. It’s made of a thin sheet of stainless steel with scored segments, ready for your nearly effortless customization.

Here’s an interesting way to manufacture, pack, and assemble a lamp. The aptly named Folding Lamp is made from a 0.8mm sheet of stainless steel pre-scored so all you have to do is fold along the dotted lines. In what order you choose to fold is entirely up to you making each piece a unique [...]

Icebergs may soon be a thing of the past, but tell that to the designers of this “Iceberg” housing project that just won a competition to build a housing complex at the Aarhus docklands development in Denmark. Architects Julien de Smedt and CEBRA architects in collaboration with Louis Paillard and SeArch have dreamed up this [...]

Power plugs come in all shapes and sizes. From baseball sized to brick sized, it seems that electronics manufacturers can’t agree on one or even three standard sized power plugs. So why doesn’t your power strip seem to care about this fact? Well now it does. The “Revolve” by Takumi Yoshida is the simple answer [...]

Outside of cool lamps, the idea of light-up furniture sounds pretty lame on paper. But then we saw Stardust, a product from Italian furniture company Meritalia, and got convinced. The glow of the low-voltage LEDs built into these sofas, pillows, armchairs and footstools is subtle enough so it doesn’t overpower you, yet unusual enough to [...]

Though not quite as elegant as the Neues Licht, the Constellation Light is still way more practical. Designed by Kenzan Tsutakawa-Chinn and showcased at the recent BKLYN Designs expo, the LED chandelier is crafted from clusters of 3-millimeter LEDs (364 in total on the tips of 91 copper tubes). Notably, it’s creator is currently seeking [...]

I doubt that one could find a more attention grabbing jewelry case anywhere. The “Estuche” is the work of Cuban artists Los Carpinteros. As far as I am aware this is a one of a kind design. At 88 5/8 x 51 1/8 x 51 1/8 inches, it would pack a rather enormous jewelry collection, [...]

While we’re not mathematicians enough here to know if the name “Fractal Furniture” really applies to this poly-drawer cube, we are space-craving urbanites enough to desire one. The art project, conceived by Takeshi Miyakawa, turns a big wooden block into an überstorage device. From the name, Fractal 23, we infer that it has no fewer [...]

Polisem, inspired by Roman-period thermae (baths), present the incredible Katharsys home sauna. The Katharsys is a thermal cabin which combines light, color, steam, aromas, heat, mud and music to create an unparalleled experience of an exclusive spa - all in your home. Gorgeously designed both in and out, the aim of the sauna is to [...]

Surprisingly this isn’t a picture of Cobra headquarters in the new G.I. Joe movie — the Veil Solar Shade might one day grace the schoolyards of some Australian elementary schools. A concept from design firm Büro North, the Veil has a couple of cool things going for it: First, it automatically rotates during the day [...]

I like devices where it’s hard to figure out what they actually do, and the Octocube from French designer Vivien Muller is a fine example. Built entirely from 90 degree copper tubing elbows, the Octocube is actually a radiator for a hot water heating system. Within the 14 inch cube, there’s enough copper tubing for [...]

A lot of animators will keep a mirror next to their drawing desk so they can use their own faces and expressions as inspiration for their work. Well here’s a product designer who also used themselves for inspiration. But instead of looking at his face, Alexander Lervik wanted to delve deeper into his head so [...]
