“Slide Eat”, Eat Fun

July 27th, 2010

Slide Eat Lunch TableEating is a big issue to everyone, and it’s even bigger issue if you’ve got kids at home! Because kids will not eat as we would like them to even when they’re really hungry, they’re kids they want to play all the time, so we got to find some nice toys for them to play when eat, and that’s hard. So when you find this “Slide Eat” Lunch Table, all things will be just fine!

Winning entry at LG HI-MACS European Design Award, the “Slide Eat” Lunch Table may not be the best furniture for kids, but it indeed looks cool and quite different from common furniture. Firstly, the new table features a curvy design to take the place of regular sharp edges, keeping the kids from getting hurt. Another point you will be interested is the built-in holders for containing plates, glasses and cutlery, and we bet that would help a lot to avoid the spilling of food.

And more importantly, the table is also a slide for kids!What an creation, eat and play at the same time, totally made for naughty kids! The only thing is that I’m afraid this is going to take too much space in a small home, so is there a solution to that?

Hide Your Table

July 25th, 2010

wall mount tablesEvery home needs some creativity, that’s the idea of life, and that’s the fun of householding. So as we can never get enough room at home, we’re always looking for ways to make good use of our limited space at home, and that’s why these interesting tables are made for you. Look! My tables can fold into the wall!

Tables are needed furniture but they’re usually also bulky, so you have to dedicate quite a large amount of space to them. And that’s why tables and especially the long tables are often tough to fit in small apartments. Except these tables created by Ochre. The designers solved that problem by folding the tables into the wall when they’re not in use, therefore offering you a spacious room for other activities. When you want a table, just pull them out of the wall and you can use them as a dining table or a work bench.

Hah…This is really fun, and I’d totally love to have tables like this! Do you?

No More Falling

July 18th, 2010

Clever HookIt is indeed because of fall these little gadgets we hold at home that made our house a sweet home, and made our life more comfortable and convenient. And the largest quantity of gadgets we hold at home? Hooks, definitely hooks, we really need them to carry many things.

Hooks are then indeed very useful tools but sometimes they could be quite annoying, just not that useful to keep towels, jackets or raincoats from falling off. So sculptor and engineer Stefan Bennedahl offered the Clever Hook with a self-grabbing mechanism, to pinch everything in place. It works in a way like this: you hang a towel onto the lower “arm”, the weight of the towel then causes the top “arm” to come down and grab the item tightly. The mechanism is designed to hold up to 40 lbs, and the heavier the item is, the tighter it grabs. To remove, you simply need to lift up the item, and the top arm will retract.

Well, the idea is simple but really useful, this is the kind of idea we need in life! Don’t you think so?

Double Duty Fork

July 11th, 2010

Knock,knife and forkWe use knife and fork everyday to have our meals, and most of us are really used to this knife + fork thing, however someone are apparently no fond of this, so they come up with an idea of combine the two together! Yes, let’s see the Knork.

Personally I don’t think it’s a nice idea to combine the knife and fork into one eating utensil, because you’ll still have to use the other hand to hold the food while one of the hands is busy with the Knork. So why not just leave those two utensils in different hands? But for people who love double-duty items, the Knork is indeed attractive. It contains no sharp edges, so you needn’t worry that you’ll accidentally cut your mouth open.

So, this is it. It is really a nice fork if you just love double duty things, but for people like me, usual forks are just good enough.
