Really Bored Dude Camouflages Self as Paper, Bags and Boxes at an Ikea Store

Some people would file this exercise in camouflage under performance art. Others would suggest this guy has too much time on his hands. I say, why can’t it be both? This belongs to a series called Urban Camouflage, and the stunt aims to solve the mystery of disguising oneself in an urban space. I can…

Sleek Bracelet Cellphone Has Integrated Headset for Cool Uhura Wannabes

Headsets. In theory, they were destined to make us look like people from the future. In practice, they make us look like dorks. Except maybe this one, which is integrated in this bracelet cellphone. The design of the On Time Head Set System—a touch-enabled, bracelet cellphone that vibrates and lets you pick up the phone…

New Perspective Table Makes You Think You Have Extremely Limited X-Ray Vision

The creator of this solid walnut table decided to paint a wireframe of its constructional elements right on it, so it looks see-thru—at least from certain angles. Move 10 degrees, and it just looks weird: The artist, James Tooze, said he developed the table, titled “A New Perspective,” to encourage people to “be curious and…

Even a Simple USB Hub Requires Meticulous Planning

It’s easy to not appreciate the engineering that goes into the most simple of devices, like this Art Lebedev Spectrus USB hub. A few ports, a few rainbow stickers—easy, right? Err…wrong. Granted, Art Lebedev was trying to design a USB hub with a somewhat high concept—to resemble a prism. And granted, Art Lebedev isn’t known…

Swanky In-Floor Kasch Tubs Make Your Crib MTV-Worthy

The Glow Mirror Creates Instant Halo Effect

You’ve always felt special, important to humanity. But when you look in the mirror, reality sets in. You’re not even ugly, you’re just mundane. The Glow Mirror will fix that. Looking past the creepy android mockup for a moment, the Glow Mirror is actually a pretty interesting product. Layered with photo luminescent material, the mirror…

Rebirth of the Big Wheel: Matias Conti’s Transformable Spin Vehicle

When I was a kid, my next-door neighbor Tim had Big Wheels, Green Machines and every other plastic pedal vehicle they made, but he didn’t have the three-wheeled super-fluid Transformable Spin Vehicle. Using fairly simple design principles, Matias Conti designed this concept’s components to rotate, transforming from an upright tricycle to a lower-to-the-ground lightcycle-styled cruiser.…

You’re a Better Person For Having Seen This R2-D2 Ghetto Blaster

In a week where we’ve seen both the AT-AT boombox and golden iPod dock, why not round it out with a R2-D2 ghetto blaster? https://gizmodo.com/at-at-walker-boombox-is-so-awesome-i-want-to-cry-5158577 The boombox, posted on the blog for streetwear label Mishka, is the handiwork of artist Bill McMullen.

Color-Changing Colonne RGB Lamp Might Induce Seizures

I’m not sure what I like better here: the fact that this lamp runs through every color of the spectrum, or that it has a remote so I don’t even have to get up. Made by French company Colonne, the 6′ lamp uses two RGB drivers and 14 LEDs to power the three-color LED lighting…

Playstation ‘DualShock Vortex’ Concept is Twisty and Crazy

This may be an interesting concept for a controller, but I can’t figure out what the point of it is. What’s the benefit of being about to twist the two sides of your controller around? Apparently, it’s designed as another way to control what’s on the screen. You twist the controller, the dude on the…

Man-Made ‘Happy Clouds’ Float Over London

While a cloud floating overhead is traditionally heralded as a bad omen, the 2057 “Happy Clouds” released over London were simply meant to “cheer people up a bit.” Artist Stuart Semple released these smiley-shaped, pink-tinted clouds to celebrate London industry. Comprised of helium, soap and vegetable dye, a total of 2057 clouds were launched at…

Dior Is Trying to Make Ugly Futuristic Glasses Actually Happen

I thought we learned our lesson from cheesy sci-fi movies. You know how everyone in the fictional future is walking around with clunky, stupid glasses? Now a designer wishes to birth that digital dystopia. From Dior, the Blow glasses are a fluorescently fugly take on the future of fashion, debuting in a limited batch of…

Jacket With an Inflatable Hood Is Perfect For Sleepy Travelers

Sleeping on a train, plane or car would be a hell of a lot more comfortable if your jacket had a hood that could inflate and function as a pillow. The jacket, confusingly dubbed “Never Stop a Rolling Stone” by designer Rahel Ritchie features a fully inflatable hood that can be manually adjusted via a…

16943 TV is Filled by Both Widescreen and Full Screen Video

Isn’t it annoying how, on widescreen TVs, black bars appear on the sides when you watch 4:3 video? And on regular TVs, widescreen footage goes letterbox? The 16943 TV takes care of both problems. This concept is obviously completely impractical due to the non-rectangular nature of the glass it would require, but you’ve got to…

This Might Be the Nicest Inhabitable Cave Ever

Some family out in Missouri decided five years ago to purchase a cave and build their house in it…literally.

Apparently, this property used to be some sort of musical venue called “Caveland” where the likes of…

Dr. Strangelove Light Might Provoke a War

Planning on starting a nuclear war between the superpowers? You’ve gotta have the proper lighting for such activities, such as the AIRFLITE light, which was inspired by the war room in Dr. Strangelove. The ring-shaped lamp contains four curved florescent tubes and shoots 80% of its light upwards to reflect off the ceiling. This should…
