Jean Louis Frechin, who designed the strange chronopictographic digital photo frames, also has an idea of what you could keep your WiFi picture viewer on. His bendy WaSnake shelving doesn’t just stop at holding up the odd vase, though; it’s a clever display in its own right. Colored LEDs and optical fibres fill blocks periodically along the [...]
Finally, a designer with a bit of sense and personal motivation to create a product with practical uses. Tim Dubitsky didn’t just create this to look pretty in his portfolio, no he actually created it for his nephew.
This Sony CyberShot ‘Snap’ is the work of designer Young Hwan Kim, and currently just a concept. Intended to resemble a man’s wallet it has a leather-clad cover.

I have come across the occasional bamboo device, keyboards and mice are what I’ve seen the most. Dell has decided to create a eco-friendly computer one that stands out quite a bit from the crowd. Not only does it feature a bamboo shell, it is filled with recycled materials like old bottles and [...]
Post-It notes are something many of us use, and if you haven’t, well then you’re just weird or have one of those freakishly fantastic memories. Scott here on Slashgear is one of those obnoxious people that never seems to forget a single thing, which makes him a nightmare to debate with. In his [...]
