Bagua Shoes
(28 May 2009) - by Paolo Ferrarini of Future Concept Lab Walking a mile in martial arts master Bruce Lee's shoes is a dream likely to never happen, but thanks to French label Bagua we can at least put a little Kung-Fu feeling in our step.

Haworth Zody Office Chair
(22 February 2007) - I was very reluctant to give up my Aeron but decided to give Haworth's Zody chair a try. It comes with all the bells and whistles you come to expect from high end office chairs but with less of a jaw dropping price tag. A number of cranks, pulls and buttons create a fully customizable fit—the most innovative being an adjustable lumbar support (above...

Shuttle Containers
(18 July 2006) - Stefan Diez' Shuttle containers fall into the category of "Practical Yet Elegant." Interchangable lids (in either porcelain or plastic) with rubber seals switch up the function of of the dishwasher- and microwave-safe borosilicate (think thin Pyrex) glass containers, which come in five different sizes.

Haute Sex
(18 July 2005) - Sex toys as a rule are simply, well, not that sexy. It's as if an invisible line runs between high design and sex, ironically suggesting that sensual curves and lines inspired by the body were somehow irrelevant when created for the body. A recent outcropping of luxury sensual products, including Myla, Jimmyjane, Mi-Su, Lelo and the Mile High Kit, erase that false divide, finally...

Magppie Bottle Opener
(01 April 2005) - Karim Rashid-designed bottle opener from Magppie (yes, it has two Ps). Sure, it looks like a space-aged Weeble or Gloop and Gleep from the Herculoids, but this elegant device does a lot more than worry about falling down. Its ergonomic design sits comfortably in your hand, while the splash of orange in the groove adds just enough color to give this piece a hip...

Tilt and Motion Sensors in Mobiles
(17 February 2005) - Stucon, over at core77, points out that Vodafone's latest handset in Japan will have tilt and acceleration sensors. While the intended application is gaming, there will be support for navigating the phone (with a cursor?!?) and launching applications. Wouldn't it be great if natural gestures could be scripted in to it? Imagine: your phone is on the table and it rings; you don't want...

Dog Dish

Otis and Logan are stumpy little guys, but for the longer legged dog, it's important to place her food and water dish at a height that doesn't strain her neck. The stainless steel frame...

Thumb Keyboard for the PC
(12 June 2003) - Mevael Corporation, in Japan, has developed a one thumb keyboard for text entry and mouse manipulation. The invention is based on the premise that kids in Japan are faster at text entry on their mobiles than on a QWERTY keyboard. I think it would be really cool to couple it with a wearable that uses a near eye display like something from Xybernaut. I...
