Flexible Coat Tree

I found this on an online blog, they are saying that the pieces of wood bend when a coat is put on one of the hangers, to me it just looks like they pivot around a centre point, I think it would have to be a very heavy coat to make that thickness of wood bend!

Designed by Jeff Miller for Cerruti Baleri an Italian furniture manufacturer.

I really like the idea behind this design, simple but it works extremely well and it is also beautiful to look at.

R Moto

This is the R Moto Electric superbike concept, designed by ROBRADY, combines a futuristic sportbike with the environmentally safe technology of an electric vehicle. This was the object that i did my first copycat rendering on back in the first term.

I was really pleased with the end result and I felt that I had learnt loads in doing the render.

ROBRADY has since released new designs of the bike which look a little more aggressive, there is also a very good clay model of it on their website link here ROBRADY R Moto

I have to say that it does look a little front heavy. Nice design though.

Buamai

I can't remember how I came across this website, In Thai, buamai translates to ‘are you bored?’It is a collection of interesting images that you can just randomly click through wether for inspiration or fun. Here is a link

LG GD900

This is basically still a normal phone with no extra fancy gadgets except that the keypad is completely clear and appears to have no buttons, my parents have a CD player that has buttons on glass, not sure how it works though. Although I think it looks good I will never get a touch phone, I hate them!

Sony Netbook

I was in Selfridges the other day and spotted one of these in the electronics section, it's Sonys answer to the growing Netbook market, apparently it is designed more for women, and it's easy to see why, to me it looks like a small purse and at less than an inch think it's easy to carry around, available in a variety of colours.
