Sliding Puzzle Desk Concept

Remember those sliding picture puzzles that terrorized you as a kid? Now that idea has been taken to a new level with this concept design of a sliding puzzle desk by Hsien Chang. The panels on top of the desk slide around to unveil different storage areas where a variety of your goods can be…

Balance Concept Phone Merges Dreams With Renders

In case you can’t get enough of real cellphones, designer Bence Bogar has a fake one for you to drool over. The concept, a luxury twist/slide smartphone, combines what we’ve seen in dual-screen phones with crazy expensive features. Specs: two touchscreens with a third display on the back, sliding body that both slides and flips,…

Electronic Roll-up Go Board

Go may not be very popular here in the US, but that didn’t stop me from actually taking a few lessons when I was a kid (ladies, quit knocking down my door). Plus, it didn’t stop this guy from designing an electronic roll-up Go board. Shaped like a roll of parchment when contracted, the Go…

Watch Keychain Concept Makes You Jingle all the Time

Although the concept of putting a watch on a keychain is a good one—one less thing to carry around—the fact that it’s a keychain makes it less than convenient. Why? Imagine having to fish out the lump of metal with all 10 of your keys to see what time it is, while at the same…

Toasty the Toaster Burns Your Toast in Retro Style

Those kooky designers are feeding our toast fetish again this morning, and this time it’s Toasty, a design concept for a cassette deck–style toaster. Designer Arthur Wu tips his hat to the old cassette deck tilt-away routine while catering to that loneliest number, one, which is all this retro-chic postmodern toast-o-matic can handle. But who,…

HP e-Book Reader Design Fakes Turning Pages

Although there’ve been lots of eBooks the past year, none of them have had this HP concept that was demoed at the HP Mobility Summit. Instead of pressing a button to turn the page (which you can presumably still do) there are touch strips on the top, bottom, and sides of the ebook that you…

Sony gets into Bed with a Bunch of Italian Master Craftsmen – and this is the Result

Last month’s Salon di Mobile (note to non-Italian speakers: that’s a Furniture Fair, nothing to do with cellphones) in Milan played host to a Sony booth. The reason? The Japanese company has been working on a collaboration with a bunch of master craftsmen from Lombardy, where Sony’s design concepts were made into (beautiful) reality by…

Six Sensual Cellphones Made of Wood Transmit Emotions

Students at the Universitiy of Dundee, where they train crocodile hunters and future product designers, have created what they call six sensual phones “to learn to communicate and interact with each other on a new level.” Back in the ’80s, they would have called this one a “wood beeper” but now it’s called the m:ssage,…

LED Table Gives Your Meals a Sensual Glow

This LED table, designed by Julian Appelius and Fabien Dumas, may look like a regular table at first, but that changes when you place something down. When an object—usually transparent—interrupts the path of the light through the table, the light gets transferred into the object and lights it up all pretty-like. We’re not sure what…

iRosary iPod Headphones Helps Kids Get Down With Jesus

(Not our Jesus, of the Diaz variety.) The iRosary is a conceptual design by Tino Dobra that connects the iPod to headphones via a cross rosary. Traditional rosaries include beads, but for this hip iPod version the included single bead is a bit different: The position of the bead can be measured and heard as…

USB Eraser Doesn’t Erase Data (Hopefully)

Sometimes the most simple shape can bring back a lot of fond memories. Remember the days of elementary school and the school supply lists? Call me a bit of a geek but I was always fond of the classic pink eraser and now it has been converted over to a more modern application in the…

Intimate Game Controllers

Inspired by a “phenomenon called gamer widowhood where men essentially abandoned their wives to play videos games,” Jenny began work on this design project. It began with a game of Pong where the paddles are controlled by two sensors in a bra (to be groped, obviously). The intimate game controllers have since further developed—the woman’s…

Arriva ‘Wireless’ iPod Shuffle Headphones

I don’t know if it would be legit to actually call these headphones “wireless,” but how about “wire free.” The headphones attach directly to the iPod shuffle. It is an excellent idea to eliminate the cords, but something would be fishy about seeing someone walking around with what looks like an iPod shuffle grafted to…

Sprout Umbrella Design

Even though it doesn’t rain all that much here, we’re suckers for an awesome umbrella design. Whether it’s the lightsaber-grip umbrella,the lightsaber-shaft umbrella, or this Sprout umbrella, we’re all for umbrellas. https://gizmodo.com/lightsaber-umbrella-uses-the-force-to-stop-the-rain-250365 What’s special about this umbrella is the way it unlocks. You turn the knob to unlock the canopy, which then forces the knob…

SpongeBob USB Drive Expands When Full

Unfortunately not a real product, this Russian-designed SpongeBob USB Drive looks like your kids’ favorite character when empty, but fills up to a gigantic blowfish when full. Although cool, the concept doesn’t make any sense. SpongeBob is a sponge, not a blowfish. Otherwise he’d be called BlowfishBob. Get it together, Russians. It’s of the same…

Inside the Minds of Motorola’s Design Team

I have to hand it to Motorola. Design-wise, most of their phones have been spot on (I should know ’cause almost all of my cellphones have been Motos). But I can’t help but chuckle over this video, where you have Moto’s top designers proudly displaying their creations and then you try to send a text…

Best Notebook Design Ever

Update: I was harsh in my first take of this laptop design. Upon further examination, it’s the best thing we’ve ever seen. Seriously, every design firm should think about hiring Anna Lopez. This lady will design the next iPhone for you. Why doesn’t she have a job already? What are you people waiting for? In…

KEF Muon Speakers: Mysterious, Tall, Handsome

These six-foot tall KEF speakers are made of shiny aluminum, and they’re so incomprehensible that the high-end Brit speaker maker has named them after an atomic particle. Muon speakers aim high, trying to be the ultimate loudspeaker, with their specially molded aluminum form that the company calls “organic.” We were wondering, though, what does “organic”…

Cellphone Haters: A Design Concept from One of Your Own

Here’s a concept for a cellphone patterned after a matchbox, where the most often-used buttons are on the outside. The inside slides out just as a matchbox does, revealing its numeric keypad. Designed by self-professed cellphone hater Lv Zhongfang, this ultra-small design would fit well in a pocket but expands into a more practical size…
