As you might already knew that I love cute gadgets! I have introduced lots of cute little things before, and if you enjoyed those, then this is going to be the thing you’ve been waiting for at my blog. This foldable cute basket is so adorable and very interesting.

As you can see from the photo, this is another product inspired by the origami art…Designed by Takashi Houjo, the basket would change into a floor mat when unfolded. And have you noticed its lovely long tongue? That’s not just for decoration, but also used to keep the handles together. So cute!

This could just a interesting floor mat, so unlike the conventional baskets, it won’t take much room when not in use and actually it can be used in a quite different way, so this makes the basket really versatile. Also, I really love the cute design, the lovely smiling face is very cute and the thoughtful ‘tongue’, this basket is totally awesome.

Oh, surprise surprise, do you like calendars? Sorry for this silly question, whether we like calendars or not, we kinda have to use one in life to make the dates clear in mind. And among all those calendars out there, we’ve seen calendars in paper, cloth, wood and some more maybe, but I assure you this knitted one will be a surprise in anyway.

The knitted wall calendar called ‘Gregor’ comes from German industrial designer Patrick Frey. At the first glance, it looks warm and cute, but a little normal, looks not that different compared with conventional ones. But when you want to leaf through the calendar, OMG, you need to unwind it stitch by stitch…That’s really interesting! And guess what, you’ll feel time passing by more strongly! Made from fiber, the knitted calendar will finally turn into a pile of thread.

Manufactured by Details Products + Ideas, ‘Gregor’ is currently available in the 2011 edition. It’s so lovely and cute, I definitely want one. And another exciting thing about this particular calendar is that you can make your own version, if you’re in some sort of knit club or you simply like knitting, not like me though…Enjoy

Usually, we love elegant nice things in our life. We just want everything to be beautiful and graceful, but however, sometimes we do appreciate crafts which are usually feels a little rough. Our censorious eyes are strangely attracted by these rough crafts, mainly for its creative energy and the ideas constructed inside its shape, I guess.

And here’s this a little creepy mug, it was named “Dear Van Gogh” mug after the famous artist Van Gogh. However frankly, the mug has nothing to do with Van Gogh but the concept is rather intriguing. Designed by Mike Mak, the Dear Van Gogh is a silicon mug that features an ear-shaped flexible handle. The handle feels realistic and could be twisted or pulled hard as you want.

It looks really funny, even a little creepy, and the ear looks so real that reminds me of VanGogh’s cut down left ear, which I know is very scary and kind of too much bloody for water drinking! But the idea of twisting it sounds like a perfect way to release your anger, and that feels quite VanGogh-ish! So if I may, I think the real VanGogh would love the “Dear Van Gogh” mug, if only he had that chance.
