Pool clearing kit

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

Just the thing to scare the bejesus out the kids in the pool! A 2′ long remote control shark from Hammacher Schlemmer. The great thing is the remote control unit, it works from 40 feet away but is also submersible so you can don the snorkel and chase the unsuspecting souls with the shark. Bring [...]

Tactile Rubik Cube

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

In a flashback to the Eighties and hours of frustration, Rubik’s have a brand new cube! This time it features Metal, wood, textile, rubber, plastic and stone instead of the coloured tiles. What this does is make the hours of frustration accessible to the visually impaired which is only fair in this world of equal [...]

OMG! Now available in the Netherlands are these two stamps that feature lenticular technology. This is a system of overlapping twelve layers of film stills and playing them back. The stamps feature two (Dutch) skating legends to tie in with the winter olympics.

Radiators are big business at the moment, I’ve seen many different products in many different guises but none as cool as this one. Designed by Joris Laarman and taken into production by Droog Design, the Heat Wave is expected to hit the consumer market in 2007.

Flat pack cups!

Monday, February 6th, 2006

I seem to remember these guys appearing on the Dragons Den on BBC2 a couple of months ago. I though the idea was cool then but the ‘Dragons’ were not interested. It’s good to see Orikaso up and running and in full production. They specialise in a range of flat pack cups, plates and bowls [...]

Paul Smart 1000 LE

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

Ducati have unleashed the Paul Smart 1000 LE, a retro styled bike based on the classic Ducati 750 Imola Desmo that Paul Smart rode to victory in 1972. The style is retro with the metallic paint job, wire spoked wheels and teal frame but the guts of this bike are very firmly based in the [...]

Escargo Timer

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

This is the stuff I like, a kitchen timer that gradually creeps its way along the counter in it’s snail-like design. No idea on price or stockists, but hey it’s cool!
