Chris McVeighs work is pretty dope

Chris McVeigh is an author, illustrator and photographer that lives in Halifax, NS. He started with photography in 2007 when a friend insisted that he should purchase a digital SRL. Chris is a natural talent! He now excels at creating clever, quirky and often comical pictures that employ everything from action figures to backyard wildlife. (In fact, a combination of the two garnered the attention of Lucasfilm, who featured his picture on the front page of starwars.com!)

Water Bottle Privacy Screen by Klein Dytham- made from recycled water bottles




Natural Tree Branch Divider by Natsiq Outdoor features towering tree branches attached to a lacquered stainless steel base. It acts much the same way a natural privacy screen of trees would, allowing in just the right amount of light and breaking up the space without closing it off.

Modern Sofas with Vibrant Colors

Roche Bobois shows their European roots with hot colors for sofas from their "Les Contemporains" collection that tastefully makes a statement without going over board, of course over board is subjective. I have always had high regard for the Roche Bobois modern furniture collection and if you have ever visited one of their store is hard not to. Here are some of the sofas, ottomans, and decorative home accessories that are anything but mundane and offer a bright and optimistic way to deck out your living room.

Arch Daily Hind House / John Pardey Architects

The clients had moved into a rather ordinary brick and tile 1970’s house on the banks of the river Loddon in early 2005 and wished to rebuild using a system-built house from the continent, but had become disillusioned with the cost and inflexibility that this offered and so approached us as they had been impressed by a house some 400 meters along the river that we had completed the previous year (The ‘Attwood house’ which went on to win the Grand Designs Best Remodeled House in Britain Award in 2007). Initially, we offered to come up with a sketch design for a small cost on the basis of no-win, no job! Happily, they loved the concept and after a few months of developing their ambitions, we arrived at the final design.

Heinz World's Smallest USB Microwave

Heinz's Beanzawave is the world's smallest, portable microwave and powered by the USB port on a laptop computer. It stands just 7.4inches tall by 6.2in wide and 5.9in deep, currently is only a prototype. It costs around £100($160), so the cost of production could fall to the point where it becomes profitable to manufacture on a large scale.
'The single serve microwavable Snap Pots allow people to quickly heat and eat. We are therefore delighted to be working with Gordon as the Beanzawave is the perfect partner to Heinz Snap Pots, allowing a nutritious snack to be whipped up anywhere in just 60 seconds.'

New London Rubbish Bin By Paul Smith

Design Museum has joined forces with Beefeater 24 to celebrate the fearlessly progressive spirit of London’s greatest creative minds, past and present. At the heart of the exhibition are fifteen commissions from some of London’s most dynamic creatives, as a group they demonstrate the diverse approaches to design in London. Among the participants in the exhibition are Zaha Hadid, Tom Dixon, Paul Smith and others.

Paul Smith created a rabbit rubbish bin for the city of London. The ‘New London Rubbish Bin’ will be popping up in Covent Garden and Holland Park for a four-month trial period from 28th May. The giant rabbit bins, with ears that light up when anyone puts rubbish in them, are Paul Smith’s contribution to Super Contemporary – an exhibition which opens on 3rd June 2009 at the Design Museum.

Microsoft XBOX 360 Project Natal | Controller-Free Gaming

During the E3 conference Microsoft gave a first preview of their upcoming Project Natal for XBOX 360. We have to admit that is is quite impressive. Playing games, watching movies, listening to music and much more can be done with Project Natal without a controller. The Nintendo Wii certainly introduced the idea, but this takes it much further. There is no release date so far, but the system, which is placed below your TV screen looks very promising! Check out the video above to get a better idea.

Fold out rack

Wrap-Around-the-Corner photo frame

The frame fits comfortably at almost any corner of the house and consists of 12 separate panels that can hold 7 to 12 photographs of various sizes. For a picture to wrap around the corner, you'll need to splice it in half and fit it into the adjacent slots. While that may sound like a hassle, we think this makes for an interesting montage of your work.

The retail price of $99 for the Wrap-Around-the-Corner is a bit deterring, but if you have the dough to spare, this picture frame can spruce up a boring corner of your room.

Infrared Duck Hunter Now Available

The Infrared Duck Hunter shooting game made a big splash at CES and the Toy Fair this year, and after several months of waiting it is now available for purchase. Basically, it brings the classic NES Duck Hunt game into the real world without leaving blood on your hands. The free-flying rechargeable duck flies around the room while you attempt to blast it with your infrared gun. If you hit it three times, the vanquished duck will fall out of the sky—ripe for plucking.

Selective Insulation

“Selective Insulation” is a project by the architects Davidson Rafailidis. They developed this small study as a room in a room, which is in a big difficult to heat, old school building. The shape is defined by a few parameters: the daylight conditions, 2 people need a minimum of 4m² desk-related office space and they wanted to have desk, a window and a way to enter/exit. The whole framework is quite simple and wrapped with an insulating layer of double-ply bubblewrap.
