A Guitarist Must Have

Posted: 13 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT

The PIK stool combines the joy of playing music with the elegance and comfort of modern furniture design. Targeted specifically at acoustic guitar players, the aim was to design a guitar amp that captures the essence of acoustic playing environments. Aesthetically, the stool allows viewers of the performance to focus solely on the musician without being distracted by other clutter on stage! Check out the vid for the full experience!

Even a Toilet Can Be Cute

Posted: 13 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Old-school “water-closets” (those toilets with the reservoir mounted on the wall, suspended above the bowl) use gravity to force water into the bowl. While effective, they aren’t around much anymore because of the huge amount of space they require. The satirically-named Element Water Closet  applies entirely different physics to achieve the same amount of flushing power but with less water and while occupying even smaller space than conventional bowl toilets.  See how it works—>

Using a built-in elastic bladder system, water from the main pipeline enters and expands the bladder with its normal pressure. A release valve prevents the water from escaping the bladder. Once the release valve is opened, the pressured water in the bladder is automatically released into the bowl. Because this water is under pressure, there is no restriction as to the placement of the bladder, making the design as compact as possible!

More than just a bucket…

Posted: 13 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT

In a surprising merging of products, the Solar Energy Bucket serves as a multifunctional tool for anyone who likes to rough it. At first glance it appears to be a simple water bucket, but turn it upside down and you’ll see a small solar panel which harnesses the sun’s energy during the day. The stored energy can then be used to power the built-in light or even gently heat the water. Peculiar… but genius!

iNipple!

Posted: 13 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT

… and iEgg, and iCam! Together they form the Bo-Bi Baby Monitor System- the total package when it comes to watching little ones from a distance. i-Nipple is a pacifier that also detects temperature changes, instantly relaying information to i-Egg which notifies parents. The i-Cam works as an HD camera for monitoring and taking pictures/recording videos. Control each with the i-Egg or your mobile device, both of which have a straightforward, friendly user interface.

Distil Union’s Wally Case Review

Posted: 12 Sep 2013 11:42 AM PDT

We’re a big fan of Distil Union’s products and the Wally Case is no exception. Though it’s a Kickstarter project, I have no doubt they’ll reach their funding goals because this case is gorgeous. Made from premium leather attached to a thin plastic case for that shiny new iPhone 5s. The idea is to simplify your wallet. Slim that bad boy down to just three cards – your I.D., a debit card, and a public transit card. There’s enough tension to prevent your goodies from slipping out. There’s an integrated pull-tab to release the cards from their pocket. DO WANT!

Designer: Distil Union, Kickstarter page $40
