A quick slide up and down and you are ready to use! I love the fact that it completely disassembles for a thorough clean up! Designer: Yeonghwa Kim

The Delicious Wave Microwave is fashioned on this premise and even doubles up as a lamp. It hovers above the dining table as a light fixture and can be pulled down to cover a plate of food to heat it. Quite an interesting visual to see the microwave disappear as a space-occupying appliance and become this functional two-in-one thang! Designers: Kyu Hyun Lee & Hae Won Jo

Partially recycled and partially newly made, this table is but a time table, taken here and there from points in design, oh the frankensteining is immense! Designer Jody Racicot uses rich mahogany (just like Ron Burgundy), teak, and ebony in his works, his works which use this old/new method and have most recently burst forth this magical end table. “I believe it is my obligation to make an object as useful as it is beautiful” he says, wielding bits of furniture like a master craftstman. In this end table, old chrome steel legs from an elder table are re-used, attached to a newly formed end table that now is more than the sum of its parts without a doubt. Racicot goes on, "I love the style of the furniture that surrounded me growing up. I remember our home had a knockoff Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair, an Eames rocker, and lots of chrome.” Truly you can see the influence. Behold this and the rest of Racicot’s designed collection at his website over at MODERNREVISION. What a rock and roll process! Designer: Jody Racicot of MODERNREVISION

No way, says I, only happiness will be felt by your bottom relaxing in such a situation. In the same way nature’s hermit crab abandons its shell each time it needs a larger one, so too does mankind abandon its wares. But Joseph Kim is a reclaimer. Thus, these chairs are created of man’s leavings: used tires and ceramic. It’s eco-harmony. One one ceramic injection mold is used in the process of creating these chairs in order to keep waste to a minimum and efficiency high. Where do the recycled tires go? Well they’re the legs, of course. And it’s foldable! And the surface area is maximized! Such an engineering masterpiece. Wobble around to your heart’s content on the tire of your choosing! You’ll be twice as satisfied as you’ll have ever felt before while sitting in this fantastic chair as you’ll know that you share the world as the hermit crab does. That’s a great feeling. Feel it and totally relax. That is, until you outgrow the chair. Then you’ll have to get another bigger one! Designer: Joseph Kim

| Solar Powered Lights Just Chillin Posted: 23 Nov 2010 12:06 AM PST  In a very real way, shoes tied together by their laces and tossed up and around telephone wires identify the inner city, all around the world. Here, in this project that goes by the name Hanguenado, these shoes, or symbols of shoes, have the opportunity to represent something very different. Designed by [A]rmada, this project consists of two wooden light-boxes tied together by a cord that allows them to adapt to any given environment or use. Sustainable, cute, and lovely. These lamps are built from local wood (local to their creation point), put together with water-based adhesives and finished with water-based finishes, and lit through low energy consumption LEDs. Each box contains a battery energized by a commercially-available photovoltaic panel that when combined and having collected the requisite amount of energy, is capable of emitting 8.5 hours of continuous light. Splendiferous. From the designers’ files:
