Oh conceptual design, how awesome thou art.

Any parent who lives near a mall with a Build-a-Bear Workshop will recognize the Dream Machine as looking almost just like the rig that stuffs bears, dogs, and all manner of animals for kids. Those overprices stuffed animals are crammed with fluff that spins around in a big red machine very similar to the Dream Machine. Read The Full Story

, Aug 6th 2010 Discuss [0]

This sweet concept phone designed by Du Jun carries the Sony Ericsson brand. I am sure it officially has nothing to do with Sony Ericsson, if for no other reason that it's too cool for the brand. The concept phone looks normal enough when closed. Read The Full Story

Moshi Kitchenette Brings All Your Appliances Together

, Jul 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

If you've got an apartment that has more than one bedroom, or it's anything bigger than a studio, then you probably won't need this (unless it just interests you that much). But, if you've got a cramped place you call home, then perhaps putting all of your appliances into one is exactly what you need to save on some space. That's where Moshi's kitchenette comes in. Designed for the smaller apartments out there, it's specifically created to bring together all of your most-used appliances. Read The Full Story

Umbrella dryer concept does just what you think

, Jul 23rd 2010 Discuss [4]

We all get caught out in the rain on occasion and have to break out the umbrella. I know at my house when the umbrella is all wet we leave them on the front porch. The downside is that with the thunderstorms here in Texas often packing high winds I frequently have to trek through the field next door searching for the umbrella when it blows away.

Miniguru Keyboard Axed, Not Coming to Retail

, Jul 22nd 2010 Discuss [1]

At the beginning of the year, we showed you a concept for a new keyboard, called the Miniguru. With plenty of features to make typing purists out there happy, we were pretty excited about the possibilities it brought to the table. But, alas, today we are reminded all too well that a concept is just a concept, and they can come to an end all too quickly. Just months after its debut, it looks like the Miniguru keyboard isn't coming. Read The Full Story

, Jul 21st 2010 Discuss [1]

Have you ever purchased some clothing online? Have you ever purchased clothing online that you had never tried on before? If so, or if not, then you probably know that it can be a bit tricky, considering you don't get to see how it looks on you, or if it will even fit in general. So, what should you do? We'd say that you should look at Fits.me, the shape-shifting mannequin, but . . . It's a shape-shifting mannequin. Read The Full Story

Projector Ring is a Truly Unique One of a Kind Item

, Jul 20th 2010 Discuss [0]

When you get married, you want everything to be special for you and your partner. And while the dress may be unique, the wedding itself may be just like someone else's in the past. Especially when it comes to rings. For the most part, there seem to be only so many different variations you can have out there, unless you start thinking outside of the box, that is. For one man, he definitely thought out of the box, and managed to design a ring that's probably one of the coolest little gadgets we've seen in a long time. Read The Full Story

Concept Wall-Mounted Washing Machine Probably Too Good to be True

, Jul 19th 2010 Discuss [0]

This is probably one of those concepts that, unfortunately, won't ever make it past the concept stage. As big, bulky, and loud as our current generation of washing machines are (even if some of them are remarkably quiet, you get the point), seeing something as super thin, and lightweight enough to hang on a wall is pretty cool in of itself. Of course, there's a few questions that have to be asked when seeing something like this, and unfortunately considering the conceptual nature of the idea at this point, those answers probably just don't exist right now.

But that's not a problem, especially when the concepts are some of the coolest things out there. In the latest effort, we've got a concept from designer Steve Hunt, which manages to attract our eyes in its shiny aesthetics, our curiosity with the features Hunt plans, and just the name alone gets us all intrigued.
