Vision in White

I've often wished that I had the money to completely redesign my room every few months, but I've never thought that much about white. This apartment designed by I-Beam Design is a vision in white, almost more of a gallery than an apartment. So simple I think I could probably recreate it with a little trip to Ikea.

Rearview Cameras?

We all know what a rearview mirror is. But a rearview camera? Now that's news to me. Not only is this a cool technological upgrade to a car, but this also helps reduce drag on the car and increase fuel efficiency. Though it would certainly take a while to get used to looking at a screen inside your car as opposed to a mirror outside your car. I even look for my rearview mirrors when I'm not driving!

Stackers

I love to see new takes on older ideas. David J. Irwin's new stackable aluminum chairs are simplicity at it's finest. There is always a way to create a useful product that is appealing to the eye as well, and Irwin certainly achieved that with these chairs.

Quite The Illusion

Felice Varini has created an illusion the size of an entire town. As I found on core77.com he has created an optical illusion that is one correctly viewed room from one singular point. From any other views it just looks like a bunch of random lines on buildings. Pretty cool.

"There's an app for that."

Now this is taking Apple's slogan for iPhone apps to a whole new level. An application which shows you the best car to get on in the subway for your fastest exit from it when you get to your destination. I honestly do believe now that there's an app for everything!

High Class High Chair?

Does your baby REALLY need the most high tech and up to date accessories? Things like the MacLaren strollers (which can be over 200 dollars!) and baby clothes that cost more than they ever should, seem to be taking things a little bit too far. I suppose that it's useful, but honestly, does your kid need the coolest looking high chair on the block? I'm pretty sure the other babies don't care much about how their high chair looks, and I doubt your baby will either, so why spend the money on that?

Going out of style

In this article, The New York Times asks us what products will be rendered useless by the progression of technology. Gas cars? Newspapers? Books? Well, what about phone booths? I don't think I've ever even used a pay phone in my life, let alone recently. Nowadays pretty much everyone's got a cell phone, and the pay phone seems to be becoming obsolete. So what do we do with them? One clever idea is to turn them into charging stations for people to use when their phones or computer run out of charge. The government in Spain is actually putting this idea into action.
