turntable ring by plastique.



This turntable ring by plastique is painfully adorable -- talk about a head turner!

"Excuse me, but is that a miniature record player you're wearing?"

"Why yes. Yes it is."

Enough said.

My Earth Day Post



Elisabeth Beucher's 'Green Warrior Shower Curtains' help control your water consumption by slowly inflating its spikes (via a questionably energy efficient air pump) as you shower. Stay in too long and you get stabbed. Drop the soap and experience prison. While I do find this design admirable, I have an even better way to curtail water wastage: don't pay your gas or electric bill. You'll still have cold water, and cold water, my friends is the key to shorter showers. Seriously, I'm down to 35 seconds. Haven't seen my balls in weeks!

Happy Earth Day everyone!

Ladies having trouble picking up guys?



Let's face it, there are few things in the world men respond more to than boobs. And fast cars. And vaginas. And beer. And fireworks. And dinosaurs. And guns. And meat. And meat guns. And sports. And power tool guns. Oh, and video games. So if you're a lady looking to score some attention from the lesser sex, but aren't ready to go topless (I urge you to reconsider), you may want to mod yourself a Nintendo purse.

Citroën Karin



I’m a little disappointed with car design lately, I haven’t seen anything new that I found interesting. Why don’t we see anything like the Citroën Karin, a concept car designed by Trevor Fiore in 1980, anymore? Just keep it simple.

Im addicted to dope visual advertising!!!!



Brussel's agency TBWA took the concept of a 'splash of paint' quite literally when it created this striking print ad for paint manufacturer Levis. Drawing a parallel between interiors and fashion is nothing new but rarely does it work so well, particularly in a print context. Sexy and commanding. Not usually word you associate with paint.

Zava's new solar-powered street lighting



Solar-powered lighting is the most sustainable, carbon-neutral means to provide exterior illumination. It’s always good to know that the sources of light that illuminate your way at night are in total energy independence. Enter the PV.LED street furniture LED photovoltaic from the house of Zava, in collaboration with VP Solar. The PV.LED street furniture is not just about creating light at night. Instead, it’s also about creative design and pleasing aesthetics. The new collection includes Atollo, Girò and ‘813’. The Atollo turns on to generate a powerful and efficient beam of light, thanks to its 30 LEDs. Next comes the Girò, which takes its name from the opportunity to direct its photovoltaic module to ensure maximum energy efficiency. Its innovative design is highlighted by the slim silhouette. Finally, the ‘813’ is an external lighting unit that features 12 discrete LEDs that spreads light in the surrounding areas of commercial or residential buildings.
