Waterproof Lamp by Hector Serrano

A light designed for use in the water: swimming pools, fountains, lakes … During the day the lamp stands upside down and out of the water in the ‘off’ position. At night it is thrown into the water where it floats in the ‘on’ position. Produced in rotation moulded polythene, the lamp is waterproof, powered by a rechargeable battery, which lasts up to six hours. The project deals with the importance of the context and plays with our perception of objects. The result is a new typology in lighting, characterised by the surreal and magic relationship of the archetype of a lamp and the water.

Heifer Pitcher Cute Milk Cup

With its clever double walled glass design, the pitcher reveals its natural side when filled with milk. Probably the first adjective that comes to mind when describing this item is “cute”. Especially if you take its size into consideration: the pitcher is only four inches (ten centimeters) tall, which makes it a jewel to have around the kitchen. On the other hand, it would not hurt if the producers would come up with a larger version of the creative item (meaning a more practical design) as well. But we are certain that children will fall in love with its original appearance, no matter what the liquid inside. The user can totally take advantage of its transparency and color it in various ways- for example, the cup below was filled with a salad dressing, but also works great with sauces and syrups.

Designed by world renowned industrial designer Dr. Kazuo Kawazaki, the Cool Leaf keyboard is a glimpse into the future: an elegantly tailored tool fusing the utility of a touch-screen with a brilliant, easily serviceable, mirror-like design.

If you’ve been wanting a sleek and minimal keyboard for sometime, you should definitely look into the Cool Leaf Touch Screen Keyboard. This incredibly designed keyboard is, as the title says, a large touch screen with a 108 full QWERTY keyboard display; a very beautiful display.

Each key is individually backlit to provide optimal lighting under any light condition, so a glare won’t be an issue. With each successful press, a corresponding beep will chime and the sensitivity of the keys can be adjusted to the speed of even the most experienced writers. Unfortunately, there isn’t any other feedback of confirmed button presses such as a small vibration. One of the best assets about this keyboard is when it’s shut off. The mirror-like surface is a real eye catcher and will add an incredible aesthetic and a bit of class to your PC or Mac set up.
