Awesome Design

While touch sensitive keyboards aren’t the most practical of devices, there’s no denying the feast for the eyes of Jason Gidding’s see-through keyboard and mouse, now raising funds on Kickstarter.

Mr. Beam created a unique 3D video-mapping experience by turning a white living room into a groovy 360° projection area, changing the colors, patterns and textures in the space. (Thanks Laura!)

Due to its capacitive surface, it’s been difficult to create a precise and accurate stylus for the iPad. The Jot seeks to solves this problem by anchoring a swiveling ball-point to a clear conductive disc.

Instantly turn a plain white wall and some cheap prints into “real art” with this 2″ wide gilded frame border made from tape. Each roll provides 25 meters (appx. 82 feet) of frame for your gallery.

Wrap’It is a headphone organizer that sticks on your device thanks to a large suction cup, so it’s always there when you need it. The flexible TPE plastic can accommodate most types of earbuds.

Thanks to its glass box enclosure, People People’s minimal speaker blends into any environment. To be sold as a kit, including templates for your local glass repair shop to cut out.

Another quirky sleeping bag to make you the envy at camp. Instead of tomato sauce, the Slice of Pizza Sleeping Bag is lined with smooth satin. Vegetable pillows included. It’s only 3’x5′ though.

The Integralus by Art Lebedev Studio has a face that doubles as the closure, splitting into two when unlocked. It makes it easier to wear the watch, but hopefully not to accidentally take off as well.

Visitors entering Georgia from Turkey on the Black Sea are greeted by this structure, which resembles a face when viewed in profile. If all borders were this welcoming, we’d travel more often.

Bring a little art and culture to your workout with these awesomely bad-ass kettle bells, sculpted with images inspired by ancient Asian masks, skulls and tattoo art. Shipping Feb. 2012.

Like its name suggests, this footbridge actually parts the moat surrounding a 17th Century Dutch fort. The Accoya wood construction keeps the water out, and pedestrians dry.

A quirky alarm clock that has you constructing the digits in order to set the alarm. When the alarm goes off, simply remove one of the strokes to turn it off. Only available in Asia.

The Mercedes-Benz SF1 is a literally edgy concept car designed by Behance member Steel Drake. It’s probably just an independent project, because the aesthetic is more Lambo than Benz.

Astro Studios’ dramatic timepieces are made by layering varying shades of anodized aluminum to create the effect that they are glowing. No word yet on when you can buy one, though.

In its retro clamshell case, this portable 2.1 sound system has Bluetooth wireless support. Features Geneva’s trademark behind-the-grille LED, displaying alarm clock and FM stations.
