| Start the Day with a Toasted iPhone Posted: 13 May 2011 08:58 AM PDT Taking a bite of the reality toast, the Day Maker is an exciting bedside charger and alarm hub that "pops" up the phone with a buzzer, when it’s time to rise and shine! Replicating the most inherent human morning routine of popping the toast for breakfast, this concept captures the essence and is bound to make mornings more pleasant for gadget-freaks like us! How to use Day Maker

| Posted: 13 May 2011 08:56 AM PDT I think the Water Fountain Tap by Niels van Hoof is quite a clever design. It integrates a faucet with a fountain spout to make it convenient to drink. He suggests linking the fountain spout directly to the cold-water source, so that when you put the handle downwards, you get your refreshing drink of water. To activate the faucet as a normal tap, you just need to pull it back and turn it left or right. Simple and doable! Designer: Niels van Hoof

| Posted: 13 May 2011 08:56 AM PDT Put aside your critical ego for a moment and enjoy designer Tommaso Gecchelin’s vision of an Apple MacBook circa 2020. Keyboards, mice and 2-dimensional screens are passe. Hit the jump for the future. Envisage a computer nearly paper thin, able to shape shift from metal to plastic. Thanks to molecular manufacturing, a micro-lattice nano material enables you to shrink the dimensions to fit into your pocket. Nano technology miniaturizes familiar technologies into thin sheets of composites, each serving a separate function. One layer is photo voltaic for infinite battery life. One layer projects ultrasound waves for tactile feedback. Another layer works like a pelican cam to capture the real world in 3D while a separate layer works like a holographic emitter. And of course, everything is wireless. No ports, no cables. I only have one question. Will it blend? Designer: Tommaso Gecchelin

| Posted: 13 May 2011 08:43 AM PDT The simple named Folding Lamp is an excellent exercise in minimalism dictated by pure utilitarianism. It’s a standard lamp when open, a nigh light when closed and acts as a cubby for your desk supplies. Doesn’t seem like it would cost much to manufacturer and the design is neutral enough for everyone. Great idea! Designer: Oleksandr Shestakovych

| Posted: 13 May 2011 12:04 AM PDT I wuv this minimal timepiece! The slender Evanescent clock was designed to compliment society’s linear understanding of the briefness as well as the permanence of time. As preset alarms approach the backlit clock grows increases in intensity. To appeal to the user’s senses, Evanescent offers both visual and audible cues inputed via it’s inconspicuous USB port, allowing the user to manipulate the alarm schedule while maintaining an uncluttered look.

| Subtle Reminders for Eco-Awareness Posted: 13 May 2011 12:03 AM PDT Inspired by the study of hybrid environments in urban ecology, the Growth Plate light switch seeks to bring awareness to nature by forcing contact between the living environment and the individual user. The subtle reminder serves not only as a representative of green-living, but as an aesthetically creative and whimsical accent. Designer: Andrew Harmon

| Posted: 13 May 2011 12:01 AM PDT I have a strange pet peeve- I hate when people display things on top of their coffee tables. Doesn’t matter if its books, photo albums, or knickknacks… it drives me crazy. Problem solved! Ok, so maybe it’s not really a prob to anyone else, but it’s exactly why I appreciate Mitch Steinmetz’s Rememberance coffee table. Instead of acting as a medium for the user and their entertainment, it becomes the entertainment…Taking the form of the common album, the coffee table flips open to reveal tchotchkes, memorabilia, photos etc., encouraging the creation of new memories while cataloging old ones. Designer: Mitch Steinmetz
