I want you to know the people behind this beloved blog. Now you can see what my life is up close and personal. I ramble on about stuff, complain about the gym, tease coworkers, review products and dance at the end of every episode. Subscribe to my YouTube channel!

This 2013 Red Dot Design Concept winner, called Space Generator, allows a flat platform to be transformed into 3D multi-level arrangements for different functional purposes. Each cell is a jack plate & can have a different sectional design: square, triangular, trapezoidal, & so on. The module cell can be driven by hydraulic, pneumatic, or electrical means, & can be made of a variety of materials. Side profiles of the cells can be fitted with LED screens for displaying colors or messages. The possible scenarios are infinite!

According to the predetermined program, the module cells are raised and lowered to transform the flat platform into 3D arrangements. The platform might become a presentation and exhibition space, an audience space, leisure area, art object or anything else imaginable. No extra costs, materials or time are required and the system is self-cleaning. The platform can be used inside as well as outside, even on horizontal and vertical surfaces.

The concept allows virtual reality to be carried over to the physical world in a three-dimensional arrangement and material manifestation. Ideas literally emerge from the ground up to meet people’s constantly changing demands. What’s more, the process of transformation is a performance in itself!

This is generation-next and we are on Web 2.0, if we can't leverage our access to IT then we have no right to be here. This applies to every industry, especially design. Sure, you can walk over to Ikea and buy yet another generic table, and in another lifetime you can, from the comfort of your air-conditioned room, flick on the computer, key in some customized essentials and get a sexy, color-coordinated Cromatti home delivered for free!

Cromatti is home to a pallet of self-expression through modern designs. Pick from a range of Bar Stools, Cocktail Table, Tables and Benches, all of which can be color customized. The key to Cromatti is the wide range of colors available, all of it being made in California and of course the free shipping! Halleluiah!

When I asked Dan Maddox, the founder and CEO of Cromatti, what led him to build this customize solution specifically for online, he recounted the story of how had moved into a new home and rented out his previous home to an Interior Designer from the UK. Apparently the rented house was painted all white – even the floor; it had an asylum feel. The designer in her elements transformed this stark interior into something vibrant, hip and chromatic. Dan saw how she took a "blank canvas" and applied colors that truly reflected her personality and the feeling she wanted the space to embody.

Wow – so this episode inspired Dan to create designs that would allow this concept of color to become a reality, which has become what Cromatti is today. The intention is to provide a pallet of self-expression to us folks, and to create furniture that is as unique as our personality.

What really happens on their page is that you pick your style of furniture, then pick a color for the top and then the base, and viola! You are done! It's a truly great interactive experience; one that you should try asap here.

Alan Rauta, co-founder and COO, says that Cromatti was founded because of the team's passion for design. In his words, "There are many of us with great ideas and sometimes we are too afraid to take a risk. Thankfully we live in a time where technology can create a positive impact in our daily lives. Technology has played a significant role in our research, sourcing and establishing practices; all the tools are out there. It's just a matter on knowing what to do with them." We agree!

There are two types of people in this world: those who drink coffee and those who drink tea. While coffee drinkers need only doctor up their drinks with cream and sweetener, tea drinkers must carefully eye their steep from start to finish to get the perfect brew. To compliment this process, the BeauTea cup-within-a-cup was designed to give users an immersive experience with a clear view of their loose leaves as they work their magic! See how it works —>
