I never knew I needed one of these little gizmo’s until I discovered it…. the potential uses for this are endless.  For instance – just in case you feel you haven’t nagged your children quite enough about doing their homework or cleaning their room, you can now drive the message home via the medium of toast.  If your house is being bugged (for reasons which are your own business), sensitive information can still be exchanged silently over breakfast, and the evidence eaten.  Have the last word in an argument… I could go on.

Designed by Sasha Tseng.  See more on her website and Coroflot profile.

This award winning traffic direction design for the Eureka Tower Carpark in Melbourne is by graphic designer Axel Peemoeller.  Simple and brilliant…. I’d love to try something like this in my house :P.  Check out more of Axel’s intriguing projects here – even his website is lots of fun to navigate!

MotoArt is the brainchild of Donovan Fell III, who, inspired by his childhood fascination with aircraft, creates these amazing conversation pieces which are more like sculpture than furniture.  It all began with a pile of rusty, dented B-17 propellers he happened to intercept on the way to the scrapyard :).

The P242 vases by Oscar Diaz is a set of hand blown glass vases designed with the aid of a computer – this enables the red, green and blue hues to perfectly create purple P242 when the vases are placed inside one another.  They will be exhibited at 100% Design in London in September as part of the Eyes On Spanish Design exhibition.

Wow.  I reckon this is as close to my dream home as it’s possible to get.  The 18th century Dutch barn converted by architect John Pawson is located in the Essex countryside and is currently for rent – see full details on The Modern House website.
