Personally, I don't get it. It's a toilet, which isn't a particularly nice place to be at the best of times, more so if you're sitting on it. So why does anyone choose to read there? In and out in 3 minutes max. Shit, wipe, read in the living room.
I've researched this in the name of good journalism and, frankly, good dinner table conversation and ice-breakers at parties and there seems to be a lot more people than I would ever have believed that read in the khazi. This bin from Snowtone is for you guys. You freaks.
Pretty simple design, pretty simple purpose. The MoviePeg retails at just under a fiver and puts an end to the problem of having to either hold or find the right newspaper, book or beermat to prop your iPhone onto watch a movie.
Great news about Min-Kyu Choi, winner of the Brit Insurance Design of the Year 2010, and his folding plug. Another example of an idea you look at and kick yourself you didn't think of it, which just goes to show we're all guilty of not spending enough time thinking about the world around us and how we can improve things. I can't believe we've been using the clunky big plug design, apparently the biggest household plug in the world, since it's conception in 1946.
I do hope Min-Kyu makes the money on this before a big corp finds a way round his patent... All of the entries are on show at the Design Museum, London.
I don't seem to be able to make a cup of tea without coming back to see someone else writing a blog about the iPad, or tweeting about a blog about the iPad. So I'm posting something good about the iPhone.
These cases are handmade by EXOvault, a small, artist-run company in Brooklyn. Machined from two solid blocks of either aluminium, titanium or brass, they fit the iPhone 3G or 3GS like a glove so your beloved iPhone won't even be scratched.
They're only making these signed 8 litre Krink Fire Extinguishers as a limited edition of 20. I want one but no doubt won't be able to afford one...
I love my Robot. Buy one from Fred.
I can't put it into words, but I know I want one of these Milk desks, designed by Soren Rose. They're perfect. I want two. No, I want to buy a bigger studio so I can have seven of them.
Susanna Hertrich has design this working prototype of a calendar that shreds each day. It takes 24 hours for it to shred one day and doesn't have an off button so never stops, leaving you to simply contemplate your days and "...as the seconds pass by, the tattered remains of the past pile up under the device."
