Recoiling socket in the wall by Meysam Movahedi

toma — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 15:53:52 +0000

The Rambler Socket from designer Meysam Movahedi is maybe the solution. The extension cord of almost 1,5 meters cord can be stored inside your wall. Just open it up an plug in any electronic devices – and when your’re finished, put it in the wall again.

After the deed is done, you simply give the wire a gentle tug (activates a spring mechanism), and it recoils back into place. Ideal for using with electronics like vacuum cleaners, hair driers etc where you don’t need extension cords on a full-time basis.

Have you ever entered a small confined space you have also experienced the silence and solitude that you’ll find inside. Spherical spaces almost completely blocks the noise from the outside world. This was our starting point when we developed the AudioOrbs. The first spherical speaker you can enter. Based on the Micasa Lab Cocoon developed by the same team we have fitted the AudoOrbs with speakers instead of storage modules.

Fitted with Tempur pillows that adjust after the shape of your body ensures that not only the design gives the Orb a floating expression, you will feel like you are floating when inside the Orb. The 18 speakers mounted inside gives you a rich and full audio spectrum. Inside the Orb the outside world fades away, ideal for relaxation.

Cat tunnel sofa by Seungji Mun

“For humans, the cat tunnel sofa is just a comfortable sofa, but for the cats, it is their playground and a comfortable bed,” – says Seungji Mun. Cat owners with ripped up furniture due to their cat’s kneading will probably wonder where the scratching post is located; Perhaps that will be included on the next model.

Seungji Mun designed the sofa with the aim of “enhancing the harmony between human and pet.” Its chic, clean, modern design will certainly help improve your personal sense of feng shui, even while your cat deviously tries to sabotage it. Of course, the sofa should also help keep your inside cat from getting into trouble due to boredom, and that’s priceless. Early trials of the sofa have shown that cats take an immediate liking to the design. It only took a short time before they began exploring the tunnels.

In the future, Mun hopes to prove that he’s both cat and dog friendly. “Later on, through my designs I want to inform people how serious abandoned dogs and environmental problems are. I will explore ways to solve these problems,” – says Seungji Mun.

Do you want a perfect cup of tea? We do. The Magisso Teacup makes enjoying tea nice and simple. Thanks to the triangle bottom, it is easy to adjust the strength of tea depending on your taste without making a mess. This is how you do it: Just tilt the Magisso Teacup so that the strainer side of the cup is lower. Then place tea leaves into the strainer, pour hot water until leaves are covered and let it steep for a while. By tilting the Magisso Teacup the other way, tea doesn’t get any stronger. Now tea is ready to be enjoyed while leaves in the strainer spread their natural fragrance.

Creative Director Till Könneker about project: “I moved into a apartment studio without storage room. So i made a minimalistic cube design with a shelf for my vinyl collection, my TV, Clothes and Shoes. On the cube is a guest bed and inside the cube is a lot of storage space. I wish i could offer a good living cube series for all your needs and home situations. A house is not really flexibly but we can re-think the space and furniture inside.”
