Facade Vase: Recycle Your Water Bottles as Flower-Holders

The Facade Vase from Orcadesign is a wool slip-on cover that lets you turn an unwanted plastic bottle into a minimalist vase. It's a design that will clearly please eco-friendly types and cheapskates too. We can see the conversations now: "Here you go, honey, I've got you a flower and (glug, glug) a vase!"... "Oh, you cheapskate!" "Ah, that's what you think. Here, use this to cover it." "No." Or something like that anyway. Sadly, just a concept for now. [Orcadesign via Dvice]

Design Competition Brings Artistic Elegance to Cellphone Concepts

Those arty chaps at the Royal College of Art have created some great looking mobile phone concepts. The designs were put together for a competition that was sponsored by the cellular network 3. The runners-up included the Vase phone, which begins as an empty "vessel," but has features added to it gradually, according to the user's needs. The Teiko cellphone was designed for children, incorporating GPS for parental tracking and a rugged general construction. More »

USB Vase Speaker

Sound quality, schmound quality. It is more important to have a unique-looking speaker that sounds horrible but looks good doing it. That is why I am ditching my 6.1 system that sounds like angels singing beautiful melodies for this USB vase speaker. Why? Look at it! It's a vase! And a speaker! ... Wait, what? It has LEDs that blink to the acoustics of my audio? Just when I thought it couldn't get any cooler. Wow! Sign me up. More »

Latest by Rocketbilly Wang: It probably is still pretty firm when it is warm, so the sun will make it softer, but a large force will be required to mold it/demold it (hypothetically speaking). more »

Origami-like Vase is Wonder-ful

Yes, the Wonder Vase lives up to its name. For just $5.95, you'll get a sheet of paper that when placed in hot water will then automagically bend itself into a stunning vase. Of course, then you have to cool it down in cold water to hold its shape, but once that's done, you're good to go. Run that baby back under hot water and you'll be back to your original paper-like shape. Down with glass, I say! More »
