I invented Post its

What a great ad!

The creators of the ubiquitous Post-it Note have improved this disposable yet indispensable piece of office stationery by introducing transparency. Sheer Colors, as 3M’s calling them, are a boon for anyone who has ever used Post-its as a book placeholder. They’re also good for anal bibliophiles who don’t care to mar pages with notes or highlighting.

Water, with a squeeze of lemon?

Sombrero Bottle Juicer (by Mauricio Affonso): A juicer designed to fit in a water bottle spout to allow citrus juice to be squeezed directly into the bottle.

“Sombrero Bottle Juicer provides a healthier choice for flavoured water without artificial flavours, colors and sweeteners while also encouraging people to re-use and refill water bottles.” More at Mauricio Affonso.

Using the incredible foldability of a triangular pattern to the consumer’s advantage. Designer Patrick Sung used the idea to allow custom shapes to be wrapped, minimising excess packaging. The geometric pattern can also be folded into standard box sizes.

Phil Cuttance’s Faceture <http://www.emilytulloh.com/post/17087008661/complex-geometric-vases-produced-by-a-wonderfully>

Complex geometric vases produced by a wonderfully simple process. Designer Phil Cuttance has created his Faceture series by folding a triangular grid into his desired shape and filling it with a paint-based resin.

Reminiscent of Mika Barr’s Geo cushions, using this mathematical pattern to create consumer items generates unpredictable forms and a spectrum of unique products.

I hope the artist took into account vertically challenged people in this installation! :)

the design utilizes a floating steel framework placed at the viewer’s eye level to create the illusion of individual rooms without the presence of full partition walls.  

…and who said we can’t have it all, the old and the new?

Brilliant - A transparent Mercedes…well, almost!

presented at the 2012 stockholm furniture and light fair, ‘street’ is a multi-storage and display unit ideal for placing magazines, books and plants. designed by swedish studio A2, the furniture system is composed of four parts: a basic frame; and three modules
- one that takes on the iconic form of a house, as well as cube-like high and low units. these parts can be combined in a variety of ways, such as stacked, to function as shelves or a room divider within public and private spaces.
