stop hiding your stereo equipment - display it proudly, because its not some clunky black plastic elephant in the room anymore - now its gorgeous and goes with any decor. Now if only you could buy one.... by PeoplePeople

REF

One of my biggest problems with life as i know it - is that I can't take this girl everywhere I go. it's a tragedy, she's sweet and fluffy and has an unnatural affinity for spooning. That being said i think there is a solution on the horizon! No, they haven't started breeding pocket sized kitties... check out Ref.

Ref is a robotic cuff you wear, it senses your mood via your pulse and takes necessary action to make you feel better - its like a traveling pet! now if only they could make it look less like a manta ray and more like polly... oh and a purr setting would be appreciated too.

So how do you feel about a traveling robot pet therapist? too weird? or too cool?

modern log furniture

What do you do with all those left over tree stumps? make them into beautiful modern furniture! These are so creative and unique, I can definitely see these in my future fantasy living room. They are surprisingly contemporary and the wood grain looks so graphic as part of the tabletop. via dornob

the Tropism Fountain

The Tropism Well from Poietic Studio on Vimeo.

Saw this video over on Gizmodo and couldn't resist a repost. the Tropism Well designed by Poietic Studio senses someone approaching and very kindly offers them a drink.

I am ridiculously curious how this works, sensors in the ground? cameras? and most importantly how does it know when to stop pouring!?

dock & dictation

My nightstand is used for two things; book storage and phone charging. Did I ever imagine the two would be combined into one beautifully functional result? not until now. Rich Neeley, the second you put up an Alice in Wonderland edition, I will be there.

designer stamps

I might be regressing back to my childhood stamp collecting days (yes, I had a pretty sizable collection) but I am hoping to get my hands on some of these Pioneers of American Industrial Design Stamps - very cool
