Incense sticks are widely used in the east, and countries like China, Korea and Japan all have a tradition of burning incense to worship the God or ancestors. But the incense here is not made for burning, but for lighting. Charged by a base station, the “Scent” lights can be placed individually or collectively, to offer you soft warm light in the night.

Having lights like that we all should be happy at home, and all the troubles inside our heart will be wiped off softly.

Called Funnel Vase, the ceramic vase designed by Roger Arquer features a simple but meaningful change: a funnel on the side allows the users to change water without having to remove the flowers. Also deemed as an art piece, the Funnel Vase will be on show at the ‘Translations’ exhibition during London Design Festival later this month.

It is beautiful, innovative design, and as a beautiful vase it is amazingly convenient!

Many people love clouds because they’re white, clean and they change constantly to show us new beauty. The designers also love cloud, so they’ve created Cloud Chair, Cloud Umbrella, Cloud Meeting Room and now the cute Cloud Shelves. Prefect for blue walls!

The cloud itself is gorgeous enough, but when it comes to hold our favorite books, this really becomes a true fantasy in life! Totally love the little gadget, it’ll make my home more fancy.

No one needs water so much as the fish which would lose their lives without water. So we people are asked to save water for fish. Designed by Yan Lu, the “Poor Little Fish” basin consists of a fish bowl and a basin, and the fish may lose its water when you’re washing your hands. But when the water stops, the water level in the bowl then goes back to the same level. As a result, to keep the fish alive, you need to save water.

But actually, water in the fish bowl is not really changing as the designer has built another pipeline for the tap so that you’ll use clean and pure water rather than the water for raising fish. Feel a little relieved huh?

Although you’re not literally consuming the water for raising the fish, but it looks like you’re, and if you take the question deeper you may find yourself right in the place of taking water away from fishes, so I believe this Fish Basin can really help you saving the water, it’ll keep reminding you to do so. Besides it is always happy to keep some pets at home, and fishes don’t need too much attention.

Guess what, your lamp can also become a star when equipped with up to 40 pairs of mirrored aviator glasses! Resembling most celebrities who are used to wearing large sunglasses, the cool Celebrity Lamp not only has an outstanding appearance but features an amusing temple light switch, changing the colors of the lenses when switched on or off.

I love the idea, so different, very stylish. And the colorful lamp light is a really nice plus! The idea’s totally genius.

A withered tree comes to life again. That Chinese idiom suddenly struck me the first time I saw these cute LED mushrooms growing on the ugly wood blocks. Created by a Japan based company using reclaimed wood and LED lights, these shining mushrooms are available in various patterns and we bet each of them will give your gardens and living rooms a new look.

Those LED Mushrooms are indeed very cute in the photos, but you’ll surely find them look even better than they were on the screen when they’re lightening up your own home.

What would happen when you tap the drum? You’ll hear pleasant music? Maybe. Or possibly you’ll see a light turns on. Designed for music enthusiasts, the Drum Light aims to delight the user with light rather than music. So every time you tap the drum, the light will turn on and with another tap, it then turns off. But you needn’t worry that the Drum Light will be activated by other sound, because the light also comes with a sensitivity control to manage the noises.

This is fun, and nice bright light too. What’s more, the drum can be turned around so you can manage you light to face different directions, and that’s quite practical, love it, tap fun!

What’s the most romantic property in the most romantic movie scenes? The vinyl record, it gives romantic melody and even feels like romantic too!

So what about combine the two together, and give a little romantic factor into our real life? That’s totally fabulous, and fun, and thanks to designer Pavel Sindorenko, this is now real! These Vinyl Record Clocks are totally cute, romantic and functional!

The invention and application of the digital players marks that the mankind have entered the Digital Age, during which period people seldom use vinyl records or CD players. But we never forget them, and designer Pavel Sidorenko has applied the clock idea to vinyl records, creating several clocks of various shapes. You see, here is a gun, a bird, a rabbit, a chair, a teapot, and all of them are laser-cut.

Fantastic! More pictures after the break.

Wanna a big meal? Well, these creative pots designed by Thelermont Hupton would like to join you, too. Each of them comes with an expressive and animated face, simulating people’s various facial expressions of eating, growling or yawning, and that’s really interesting!

Although they havenot hit the market yet, but the good news is that these pots will make their first appearance at 100% Design in London September 23-26, 2010, and you can see them for real then.

Only a few weeks ago we were told that a recent episode of Doctor Who showed off the Daleks in their spiffy new colors. We laughed it off as perhaps some kind of inside joke, but it looks like these new color Daleks are final. We just spotted a new robot Dalek desk accessory that looks just like the red Dalek of that episode. The red Dalek patrols your desktop never falling off or bumping into anything when on a flat surface. If it detects an edge or danger of falling off, it will turn and continue its patrolling. At each turn the Dalek will exclaim “Exterminate!” If you don’t want it to speak while it roams your desk, you can always shut the sound off.

The Doctor Who Red Desktop Patrol Dalek retails for $35.99. Well, this is a funny toy, and a nice decoration too, I like the little violator.
