Run on 3 Wheels

June 15th, 2010

Three-wheeled Peugeot VelociteCars are quite a very important part of our life, we actually depend on it to take us to our destinations almost everyday. Cars are a very convenient transportation, but lately we hear more and more about global warming and other environmental problems that was largely caused by our cars, so we now seek some more eco-friendly cars to make peace with nature.

Then this Three-wheeled Peugeot Velocite might be a really good choice to maintain the balance between protecting nature and keep travel conveniently.

Now if you know three-wheeled cars, they’re usually ugly and not very eco-friendly, then this one is no conventional three-wheeled car.

Developed by Juan Carlos for the year 2020, the “Peugeot Velocite” has borrowed a cool shape of the sports cars but actually runs on three wheels, making the electric vehicle different from all others. It is also eco-friendly, powered by low-resistance electric motor and offers zero emission. When running downhill, the Velocite will recharge its onboard batteries automatically. Plus, the concept still features a motorcycle-like suspension setup with a single swing-arm for easy controls.

I actually love the cool shape, and the small size is quite adorable and useful. This must be the coolest three-wheeled car ever. Too bad this thing is just a concept now, and obviously we have to wait for years to see this hit the market.

Keep a Firefly for The Sake of A Romantic Summer Night

June 10th, 2010

Firefly Nest LampSummer is here, and I can still recall when I was young, I used to lie down on the grass with my families in summer, and then when the night comes I was always happy to see those little shinning bugs flying around. I even see them flying outside my bedroom window, and I used to fall asleep watching these lights.

However after I grew I moved to the city, and I barely see them ever after, so I actually miss them, and I miss my childhood too I guess. Well, anyway, now we have this Firefly’s Nest Lamp to hold some fireflies inside our urban house, thanks to science.

Also known as “Geometric Romance”, the lamp from Tommaso Gecchelin aims to bring you back to the romantic summer nights when the fireflies were flying around you. Yaps, romance, that’s this is all about, that’s the most important point you may find with the lamp, and another feature the device has is high tech. It is filled with electronic fluid that is moved by a pump, and powered by a wireless system located in the base. Moreover, you can touch the lamp to change the color of the light! That’s awesome!

Those summer nights I really miss. The lamp obviously can’t bring all the fun and happiness those fireflies have brought me, but they might be a quite nice comfort, right?

Travelling at Home

June 09th, 2010

Land CarpetFeel a little boring at home? Want to take a walk to Europe, or Africa maybe? But you don’t enough time for the travelling right, don’t worry, here’s some decoration for your home to make travelling a lot easier and more convenient too – the Land Carpet.

No more difficult trekking, you could simply stand on a carpet to admire the beautiful sceneries of Europe, Africa, the Netherlands and the United States. Designed by Florian Pucher, these Land Carpets are made from 100 percent New Zealand Wool and feature birds-eye-views of those four locations.

Well, maybe not as joyful as real travelling, but surely there’s some other enjoyable fun the real travelling cannot provide. And I really love the design, to me the carpet itself is good enough.

Wonder Water

June 07th, 2010

Sexy Touchless FaucetDo you ever feel boring about conventional faucets which you have to touch to turn on and down the water? I guess you do, because that means your hands are never clean enough, and we do not like that. So that’s one of the reasons why most public places have replaced those conventional faucets with modern touchless ones. But here today we’re going to talk about is not just a touchless faucet, it is much more than just that!

First, the exterior design is neat and beautiful, I really love the compact fluid shape and smooth feel. But the most amazing part of this high technology faucet is not this. The magic faucet is completely controlled by gestures, a wave of the hand will change its temperature and flow rate. You move your hands backward, the flow rate goes down, otherwise the flow rate goes up; You move your hands away from the side of the faucet, the water runs from single stream into shower-like multi-stream, otherwise, do the reversal. Also, the beautiful faucet has two sides for you to move your hands around, one for hot water and another for cold water. There’s even two lights to generally indicate the temperature too! I think this faucet is totally great for a modern kitchen, or maybe a bathroom too.

If you want more information on this, you can check out the designer’s website at Jasper Dekker.com, there’s even videos to check out. Believe me, the videos of the working prototype really will convince you that this is a neat idea!

Flat Light on Your Wall

June 03rd, 2010

Poster LampI love cute household gadgets, and among all those I love interesting lamps the most, for they literally bring light with fun. We’ve introduced many cute lamps here before, some of them are very unconventional, but never as odd as this one, it is called the Poster Lamp — a real flat light!

Do look carefully and closely, because even your own eyes are deceiving you. It is not an ordinary poster merely used for decorating your room. Actually, it is an exquisite Flat Light Poster, something that makes installing a wall-mounted lamp much easier than ever before. Put forward by Finn Magee as an exciting concept in 2007, the Flat Light Poster has just now been produced in a limited run of 50 lamps, priced at $195 each.

As I do you might wander where is this interesting idea come from, then let’s see how the designer Finn Magee says:

“Flat Light was the result of borrowing an Anglepoise task light from college. In 2007, I set up the lamp on my desk at home and was amazed at how it lent an atmosphere of productivity and efficiency to the room… I wondered if just an image of an ordinary task light would be enough to create this atmosphere. This led to Flat Light, which has been exhibited at the Royal College of Art Summer show in 2007 and as part of Designers in Residence at the Design Museum, London”

Well, I would love to have a poster that actually shines! Do you?

The “Key” USB Data Transfer Cable

June 02nd, 2010

Scosche IPUSBMAs computer science goes really outrageous these days, we all have two or more different kinds of electronic devices on which we can store informations, so as for communication need we really have to get those different device start “talking” to each other. So I’d say that USB is quite genius invention that makes our electronic life a lot more convenient and happier.

So a nice USB data transfer cable is very necessary to our daily life now. And this one: the Scosche IPUSBM is a quite interesting one in this market.

A portable USB data transfer cable for iPod and iPhone. It looks cute and feels nice as a USB data transfer cable, but to be honest, the only advantage I can see here is its smart key shape for an easy transportation. But just at $19.99, the transfer cable seems priced right enough to help you always be highly organized and efficient in both work and daily life.

Whatsoever, this is a nice choice if you’re just at the point of looking for a nice USB data transfer cable; But if you’ve already get some nice ones, then it is really not necessary to get this one too.

The Light of A Flower

June 01st, 2010

Blooming LampIn a whole year, I find most people love spring the best, generally because of all these beautiful flowers out there. Yes, we all love flowers, for they’re beautiful, they smells good, and they represent nature and life. So we sometimes grow flowers inside our house too, but flowers can’t bloom forever, although we understand that’s how it works in nature, but still we feel sad when they’re gone.

So then there comes lots of artificial flowers that never wither and fall, and among all those I love this “Bloom Lamp” the most. Just see how light comes out of a flower, and how a lamp blooms!

Those who love the nature would love everything that reminds them of the wonderful creations of the nature, too. And that’s possibly the main reason why we love the “Bloom Lamp” designed by Patrick Jouin. Yaps, the lamp has simulated a beautiful flower—when in use, it gradually transforms from a bud to a blooming flower to release the light; and when not in use, the lamp then closes its petals to regain the shape of the bud.

Well, I’d love to have such a “bright” flower at home, do you?
