| Posted: 11 May 2011 08:36 AM PDT Our ancestors rubbed two twigs to make light (fire) but to kindle the Lightstarter you just need to work on one. The embedded accelerometer determines if your rubbing is good enough for 30 seconds or 10 minutes of torchlight. Essentially one second of kindling time is equal to 10 seconds of light! I'd definitely take it on my next camping trip.

| Posted: 11 May 2011 08:36 AM PDT My mother has this really annoying habit of washing her hair in the kitchen sink. She says it's a quick-fix when you’re running out of time… I call it being lazy. The downside is that hair usually clogs up the sink and cleaning the sink stopper is plain yuk! I guess it's for this reason that I love the Crown Pop-up sink stopper idea; the exposed top end stays clean while the root-ish tail end catches the hair and goop. I so need this!

| Future Cars Inspired by Snails and Brains Posted: 11 May 2011 08:34 AM PDT Although designer Omer Sagiv designed the CYBERSNAIL for his first comic book “Cyberman,” the design is too interesting to pass up. The story arch revolves around the discovery of bio-cyberspace existing in human brains (kinda like subspace in outer space). Groups of people and even the brain dead serve as bio-cyber platforms, essentially turning them into biological hardware. The CYBERSNAIL is an allegory for firing neurons and hyper synaptic activity. I want to read this comic! Designer: Omer Sagiv

It has a rotating handle so you can hold it like a traditional camcorder. The rubber grip is removable and the texture is very soft – adapting its shape to that of the fingers.

| The Perfect Small Apartment Chair Posted: 11 May 2011 12:05 AM PDT Chair D by Kako.Ko Design Studio combines traditional structural elements and modern innovation to create uniquely versatile seating. The deceivingly sturdy seat and back are composed of felt that has been cleverly modified to fold from armchair to stool or footrest in a matter of seconds. Together the raw materials of wood and felt create an inviting seating arrangement that is not only attractive but also perfect for compact spaces. Designer: Kako.Ko

| Posted: 11 May 2011 12:03 AM PDT Gordon Cormack Kedslie’s design, Touch Wood, is a fresh take on both the doorbell and the classic knock. Instead of ringing the bell, or banging on the door, visitors knock on any (or all) of the touch sensitive pads to trigger a limitless amount of customizable bells and other sounds. Personally, I dig it because I’d have my own personalized knock, and, of course, because it would make ding-dong-ditching that much more fun. Designer: Gordon Cormack Kedslie
