Don’t you just hate it when you accidentally drop your shiny new cell phone? All the dents and scratches on your expensive new gadget. Yikes! Well, you wouldn’t have to worry about that if you buy the Samsung B2700 cell phone. Sure the thing is ugly as sin, but hey, at least you can chuck it at your wall with no reservations. Video after the jump.
With the recent release of Mega Man 9 on the Wii and PS3, Xbox 360 owners are about to join in the retro-style Mega Man 9 craze tomorrow for 800 MS points ($10). So, in celebration of the game’s Xbox Live release tomorrow (October 1), check out this Mega Man wall hanging/lighting. It’s basically Mega Man hanging on the wall firing a shot from his buster, with the ‘bullet’ cleverly acting as the light. Awesome!
Here’s a wacky idea from designer Francesco Lerro. Called the Mokia 8015, the concept phone forgos the fancy high-megapixel-count camera, the touchscreen display, and all of the fancy wizardry for an…espresso machine? Yup, Lerro is such a self-proclaimed ‘espresso junkie’ that he had to design a cellphone that not only lets you be a chatterbox, but also provides you your morning caffeine fix. It even has a Bluetooth headset that doubles as your espresso stirrer.
This is an incredible igloo house made entirely out of plastic bottles. It was created by Jasmine Zimmerman, but not merely for the sake of art. Jasmine herself said “This year, Americans will drink more than 30 billion single-serving bottles of water. In the course of our busy lives this year, we will throw out more than two million tons of polyethylene terephthalate plastic bottles – an unintended byproduct of our everyday convenience.”
This clock reminds me of the bunker clock on ABC’s show Lost. However, this clock is not scary at all. It’s just a clock that sits on your desk and tells time in a retro fashion. Known as the Retro Flip Down Clock, this clock is operated by an internal gear and automatically flips down the correct time as time passes.
These knife hooks, designed by Tianyi Chang’s TC Studio, blend the functionality of a coat hook, with the aesthetic feel of an art piece. You will be able to make a bold statement about your living quarters when your guests come in, by hanging their coats on these knives that hang right off the wall.
Showering doesn’t get any better than this. With the Nose Shower Gel Dispenser, you can push on the nose’s right nostril and your body wash (or gel) will ooze out. Now all you have to do is keep green body wash in it to make it look like snot is coming out of the nose. This would make a great way to get your kids to take showers.
Fred and Friends has yet another cutesy design product with their Salt and Peeper. The Salt and Peeper is basically a salt and pepper shaker. Designed by Thosaphol Suppamtheekulwat, it is in the shape of a little birdy, hence the word “peeper.” Very cute in its little design, the Salt and Peeper is also a space saver since it only requires one product to house both salt and pepper.
