Awesome Design

Not everyone has an Alfred to keep things in order. Wall-mounted and featuring several compartments for all your go-to items, the sleek, modern Butler by Etsy artist Curtis Micklish is a good alternative.

Concept mugs by The Play Coalition that have climbing holds in place of a handle. Perfect for the brave and the bold who want to live an intense life but are too lazy to actually do so.

A cool piece of sterling silver jewelry that serves a practical purpose too. We’re not talking about putting it on the end of a bolt, but using the built in dice faces as an impromptu decision maker.

Raffael Iannello Studios created this awesome ceiling fan made to look like a 1:6 scale version of a Hughes/MD 500 helicopter. Since the real chopper can fly upside-down, so does the fan.

Designed by Brendan Ravenhill, the Wall Clamp is similar to the Tick Clip. It’s a pair of iron clamps you bolt to the wall. Stick a plank of wood or metal in them and you get an instant shelf.

A concept pouring nozzle designed to dispense either 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon of fluid at a time. It’s meant for oil bottles, but we think it would work great with other ingredients as well.

Designed by Tobias Juretzek for Italian furniture company Casamania, the eye-catching Rememberme Chair is made out of old clothes bonded to a metal frame using a special epoxy.

The Kettle Teapot by Menu is designed to prepare and serve a modest amount of tea in a practical and attractive manner. It holds 1.5L of fluid while loose leaf tea steeps in its metal tea “egg.”

GamaGo’s serving dish is designed to look just like one of those plastic cookie or cracker trays, but it’s made out of hand-blown glass. Just don’t try and crumple it up when you’re done.

What was once a concept is now reality, as bitplay has actually released this whimsical lamp, which comes with a gun-shaped remote to “shoot” the lampshade from across the room so it falls over.

If you’d like to sleep on a map of your favorite city but find these to be too loud, check out City Quilts. They’re hand-stitched using 100% cotton and are guaranteed to last a lifetime.

From the minds that came up with the homage to fallen roaches comes a wacky idea straight out of Photoshop: a towel with large pixel-like graphics, making it look like its censoring your body IRL.

This special clear finish can be applied to any interior wood or painted surface to convert it into a custom dry-erase drawing board. Who ever said whiteboards needed to be white?

Inspired by the lotus flower, City in the Sky is a concept for an oasis rising above the “developed and polluted city.” If you ask us, we’d rather have both this and clean cities.

The designers from New York’s PENSA! envision an easily installed urban street lamp which uses solar energy to drive its LED lights, offering built-in USB gadget charging, and an optional seating area.

A 21st century take on woodsy A-frame houses – these 175 to 390 sq. ft. shelters are made from recyclable materials and can be built out as a dedicated cabin or a backyard relaxation space.

One of the entries in Dwell magazine’s Live/Work Design Contest, Colleen Whiteley’s Hold On Tight Shelf has a built-in adjustable bookend that is screwed into place by an over-sized wing nut.

Idiha Design’s circular outdoor shower wraps your body in jets from every direction but below. We only wish we had a place where we could take an outdoor shower without someone calling the cops.

The Enlightenment is a light book, but not in terms of its contents because it doesn’t have any text. It’s actually a lamp shaped like a tome. Part of the proceeds from the sale go to Edukans.

Unlike normal snorkels, the Powerbreather lets users breathe without moving their heads, thanks to a separate air intake. Its valve also ensures that no water gets in and all exhaled air gets out.

Balykin Pavel came up with this awesome concept for a watch that features a digital hourglass a while back. We’re surprised such a cool design never actually went into production. It should have.

Brian Johnson makes custom Nerf guns “and other object-spitting devices.” He can make both prop and working replicas and is great with steampunk, videogame-inspired and realistic designs.

Designer Marco van Leeuwen’s innovative concept for a what looks like a cross between a Nintendo Power Glove and and electric shaver looks a lot cooler than it sounds.
