| Posted: 09 Apr 2010 09:26 AM PDT All you designers know you’re a messy bunch. Give you a table, a pencil, paper, eraser, sharpener and I’m willing to bet an artful pile of trash would build up all over the floors. No need to be a mess cat anymore. The La Gota Table has a hollow legs with a trash bin at the base. The opening is surrounded by ripples to prevent anything from mistakenly falling in. The timber parts are made from reclaimed lumber and a soy based polymer resin with bamboo fillers. HOT! I want one. Designer: Timothy Emmott

| Posted: 09 Apr 2010 06:24 AM PDT The Reflectius Clock by Art Lebedev Studio has a whopping sixty rotating mirrors that successively reflect a single laser beam at precise angles to draw numbers. Complex triangular facets guild the beam to form the current time and showcase the efficiency and preciseness of a laser beam! Totally fascinating…don't forget to check out the demo. Dimensions: height 124 mm (4.9″), width 260 mm (10.2″), depth 76 mm (3″) Artistic director: Artemy Lebedev Designer: Art Lebedev Studio

| The Perfect Gift For Your Woman Posted: 09 Apr 2010 05:17 AM PDT It's quite apparent that all ladies will have a soft corner for the Accessories MP3 Player. Honestly, how many MP3 players can be as subtle and discreet as this! Fashion statement, jewelry, bling…you name it, and it's there! I adore the little loop earring that goes into the ear as headphones, now only if Cartier or Tiffany can get a whiff of this… Designer: Lee Won-jun

| Chinese Chess With No Chess Pieces Posted: 09 Apr 2010 03:47 AM PDT The WU& a Chess Set eschews ancient runes and poggles for LEDs. The foldable silica gel chessboard rolls up for portability and if you can’t find a partner, the onboard computer will gladly make a worthy opponent. On another note, I was never able to master this form of chess but LEDs attract me like a moth to a flame so I may try again. Designer: Guan Yi Quan

| Posted: 09 Apr 2010 02:38 AM PDT Perhaps you’re familiar with the term “Al Dente?” That’s the term used for noodles that are left just a little bit rigid (but not hard!) when being boiled before being used for a fine dish of spaghetti (or plenty of other lovely pastas.) It’s also the name of a fabulous restaurant in Beirut. The design team at .PSLAB BEIRUT were asked to do the lighting for this “Al Dente” restaurant, and I think you’ll find that it’s absolutely chewy with goodness. Twig-like metallic fixtures are mounted in groups connecting the entrance to the main hall of the restaurant. The high ceiling of the restaurant has three areas, those being the main central area, a secondary hall from there, and a bar area. In the bar and secondary hall, brass disks holding light are fixed to the ceiling by means of metal rod, while the entire arena’s light both encapsulates and enhances the environment. Hard and soft! Designer: .PSLAB BEIRUT

| Posted: 09 Apr 2010 02:16 AM PDT That’s a fire that has no smoke. That’s a fire that has no odor. That’s a fire that burns bio-alcohol to achieve these things at the SAME TIME as providing you with some fabulous heat. And it looks amazing! No smoke, odor, or residue! None at all! You could burn this right in the house, right by your CPU! Do it! Don’t be foolish and put anything flammable in there, obviously, because it DOES burn other things if you make it, I mean, it IS a fire. But work safely and this’ll make you grin profusely! It’s the Apollo Tabletop Fireplace! All you’ve got to do is fill the tank below the fire up 3/4 full of fuel, slide those lids up on top of it full open, and light it on up with a long handle with fire on the end of it. Burn time is 3-4 hours. 13.8″ long, 11.0″ high, 4.7″ wide. And very pretty! Designer: Wolf Wagner [ Buy it Here, Apollo Tabletop Fireplace is available for $719.00 @ YD Store ]

| Posted: 09 Apr 2010 01:37 AM PDT Mmm yes, perhaps you’d enjoy some circles today? Perhaps some fine circles that’d suit your items to be sitting on just fine, yes? Perhaps! Yes! What’s called a lamp and what has a couple trays for your true comfort and ease in experience is this, the “Acueil” by Arnaud Lapierre. The warmth of the lamp is provided by LED. One of the movable plates provides space for immediate objects such as keys, while the large plate is for the longer-sitting objects like the newspaper. Perhaps you’re familiar with the word accueil, a French word which means “lets totally party right here.” OR in reality, it means “welcome,” which is what this lamp and trays are meant to portray and emanate. Designer: Arnaud Lapierre

| Posted: 09 Apr 2010 12:39 AM PDT If you were to strip off the mouse and bring it to the bare essential, how would you design it? Kim Hye-shin perceives it as a single strip that can be bent into the infinite-sign-shape, with only the necessary features on it. Interesting take, but not for everyone; Bendy M may be a good enough design if your focus is more on the keyboard and use a mouse just as a pointer. But for a mouse that needs to help me do Photoshop, I need substance, grip, the whole nine yards. Then again one man's medicine is another’s poison! Designer: Kim Hye-shin
