The Made Collection from designer David Okum blends a beautiful, mid-century modern-inspired vibe with contemporary craftsmanship in a series of four distinct items – salt and pepper shakers, trivet, coat pegs, and desktop organizer. In a variety of materials ranging from American walnut and white maple to Coran and aluminum, each is an attractive addition to refined spaces.

Vivacuum Varooomm!

Posted: 30 Jan 2013 07:57 AM PST

The Vivacuum is a compact cleaner for people who are visually impaired. The appliance gets its 'Vi' prefix by compounding the words visualize and vacuum. The way its works is very simple, the sensors in the vacuum perceive an object and then transmit it via vibrations to the user. One can choose the suction direction by controlling the steel-wheel of the handle. The Braille steel wheel makes it easy to work the thang. An interesting idea that can be further explored for this select market!

For The Non – iPad Addicts

Posted: 30 Jan 2013 07:49 AM PST

The Blackboard Tablet is a simple reminder that we can use non-digital ways to communicate with family members and even make our famous lists. It offers good-old-fashioned fun and comes with a white bistro marker, although many colors of markers are available in craft stores. A considerate niche allows you to hang it up on the wall and its the perfect size to bring with you.

The Blackboard Tablet is made of thin stained plywood and reclaimed black arcylic. The reverse side of the wood is laser-etched with a geometric pattern. The marker fits perfectly in the cut-out at the bottom of the tablet. The dimensions are: 10 3/4” x 8 1/4”.

Create your own binders full of women!

Posted: 30 Jan 2013 12:01 AM PST

The Eco Clip makes it possible to compose your own notebooks by recycling old drafts, clippings, or any other paper. The innovative design works with various sizes and paper thicknesses by simply folding the sheets at the edge and binding. It’s easy to create journals, doodle-pads, or custom presentations for use at home or the office. More importantly, there’s lest waste by reusing both paper and the plastic binder.

Vintage Fusion

Posted: 30 Jan 2013 12:01 AM PST

This original seating design called Statthocker transforms old-fashioned 1960s street lanterns into modern, stackable stools that pay homage to the repurposed material. Noticing that local discarded lanterns were the perfect seat height, the designers covered the tops in durable HI-MACS material and left the underside open for easy stacking. As an ode to the origin, LED lights are fitted into a milled recess beneath the seat, bringing new life and functionality to the recycled shades.

Designers: Oliver Bahr & Bastian Demmer
