In 2010 a minion of mine by the name of Maximo Riera cast a series of chairs inspired by different species called The Animal Chairs – one of which is a black octopus. It’s over-the-top and beautifully executed. In fact, it was the most time consuming and production intensive from the series. Now that I have a proper throne, BOW TO YOUR OVERLORD. Designer: Maximo Riera

| Every Drop Goes Into the Flowerpot Posted: 13 Jan 2011 01:44 AM PST  Sometimes it takes a simple re-design to add functionality and solve a problem. For example the Cavity Flowerpot – it's designed with four receptacles to hold wet umbrellas. Excess water drains off and collects into a dish whereby plants absorb into their root system. Good idea. Designer: Merve Sarışın

The strip is like a chain link so it can fit different sizes of plugs plus one of the modular fittings accommodates USB hook up. Now isn't that clever! Designer: Deng Kai

This project is a footwear design made for NASA airmen flying around in zero gravity. What would they do with specialized footwear? Why, attach to things, of course! They’d have an extra appendage to pick things up (of course, if they had big toes like your humble narrator, they’d need no such thing,) and a sassy design across the whole! Atop the foot there is padding since quite often a floating fellow holds himself in place with the top part, hooking the whole foot under a guide pole. The artificial opposable thumb could help offer a new way of hanging on to poles, but why not have protection for both? The most interesting thing about this project (believe it or not) is the description provided by the designer. I am totally suspicious about it, since it lists things that aren’t supposed to be happening yet – is he a space traveler? My guess is yes! Check out this excerpt from the project description:
Totally futuristic! Designer: Edward L Howell

| Posted: 13 Jan 2011 12:03 AM PST  Let’s have a glance at a watch that employs the now-famous and awesome E-Ink technology made famous by, if I’m not mistaken, the Amazon Kindle eReader. This watch is a double-down in that it uses E-ink to for both form and function, allowing the bold and radical lines to make the watch beautiful and very readily visible. This watch is made of glossy black metal, embellished with small chrome parts. The display is adjusted with two buttons along the left side of the watch. The bottom display is the lighter gray of the background being used as the numbers display with the black merging with the black of the watch metal. Blasting off into hard bold, bold space with a metal stone. Designer: Jonathan Frey

| Bulges of Research Unto The Sky Posted: 13 Jan 2011 12:03 AM PST  This is one bubbly research station, made to be unique and futuristic but also one with the wealth of flora and fauna in the areas in which it will travel. This project is aimed at a museum by the name of Wilanow which aims to preserve as well as strengthen knowledge about protected natural areas – this natural world researched and appreciated from this, a science research vehicle capable of moving across the landscape in larger form or by breaking off into a smaller pod. This dome of lovely greens is created specifically to make trips into the park that makes up the Wilanow Palace Museum and is meant to act as a reconnaissance vehicle. Imagine having a research class in this moving fantasy world! Fantastic! The designer requested that we note that this design, Science Research Vehicle, is a proposal design for the Wilanow Palace Museum (Warsaw) open competition. Designer: Mikołaj Ścibisz
