Something you will hardly use but want so much! (Well I do anyway). A skittles colour sorter!

This little gem by Louis Lim is a an elegant and minimal wooden bench that’s also great for storage. The way the draw slides out effortlessly from either end may not impress most people, but I’m sure anyone that loves design will appreciate the functionality and aesthetics of this little beauty!

This is definitely the closest we’ve got to flying cars! The PAL-V ONE by PAL-V Europe NV is “the birth of a new class of vehicles offering unprecedented freedom, adventure, flexibility and pleasure – all in one product!”.

It can be yours for… $300,000… and you need a pilot’s license… So I doubt we will be seeing them polluting the highways & airways anytime soon. Unless gaining a pilot’s license suddenly becomes as normal as getting a drivers license in the near future. I hope so!

Ooooo, IKEA have launched their own Smart TV, and I like it!

Using their interior design nouse, they have adapted the traditional TV to integrate with your home surroundings, providing Smart TV-type software with IKEA-type furnishing. See for yourself! Out Autumn 2012.

Love it!

SOLEIL NOIR

A brilliantly Flash-inspired web page from Soleil Noir, a French creative studio. They have created a series of minimalist posters using Flash that highlights the things one should believe in.

The pictures above highlight only the graphical joy you receive from this project, head to the website now to immerse yourself in simple but effective interactive design.

“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are ‘The Advertisers’ and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.”


I don’t care if this is from Banksy or not, but it’s a damn good quote on advertising…

This has to be my favourite house, ever…
