Candle with integrated matchbox

Guillaume — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 10:08:07 +0000

Jeremy Walton designed a very interesting candle. It has an integrated matchbox at the bottom. You’ll never be looking for a match or a lighter anymore.

The Scandinavian custom “hygge,” meaning cozy togetherness, inspired Walton to create this paraffin candle with a convenient matchbox built in at the bottom. It has 40 hours of burning time and extinguishes before the flame reaches the matchbox.

Here comes a simple design: a coffee table in which you can store a large book and an object the size of a vase. It is made from a single piece of laser cutted sheet steel folded into shape. Link

Ice Shots

Guillaume — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 14:35:02 +0000

Create your own shot glasses by using these moulds. You’ll get ice glasses which are perfect for good vodka or tequila.

Quite literally the coolest set of shot glasses in the world. These easy pop-out ice mould shot glasses are the perfect accompaniment to a night of wild debauchery, after all if you’re going to knock back a tequila, or lose yourself in a Baileys, how better to do it than from a glass made of ice. Ice shots are as easy to make as ice-cubes (so not much of a challenge there then), and you don’t have to limit yourself to plain old water - make your Ice Shots out of orange or cranberry juice (great with vodka) or use melted chocolate and filled them with Malibu - actually that sounds rather gross. We sacrificed a great deal of time and effort researching the different combinations you can have with Ice Shots. Unfortunately we didn’t write down all of our research, and the rest of the night is (fortunately) all a bit of a blur. Still that’s a fairly good indication that they’re a blast, and a great way to pass, and ultimately forget, a great evening.

Softwall

Guillaume — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 14:32:19 +0000

With this paper wall, you can separate an office or a room easily and shape it at will. Don’t need the wall anymore ? Fold it and store it in a cupboard.

the paper softwall is a lightweight, freestanding wall that can be arranged into almost any shape, or easily compressed into a compact sheaf and stored away. softwall dampens sound and can both absorb and transmit light. the paper softwall is made from 400 layers of honeycombed translucent white, fire-retardant paper, bounded by natural wool felt ends. the thick felt ends fold to create handles when the wall is open, and form a casing when the wall is compressed. paper softwall is modular, as the felt ends have velcro fasteners which can link walls together. the paper softwall is delicate, yet its honeycomb design makes it surprisingly resilient to normal handling. paper softwall is available in two heights, 72″ tall (17 lbs) and 48″ tall (10 lbs). the softwall is 12″ thick and can be expanded from a mere 1.5″ to over 25ft. greater extension provides greater stability.

Floating bed

Guillaume — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 08:48:09 +0000

Last month, I posted about a magic bed. Now a designer from The Netherlands created a real floating bed based on magnetic levitation. He presented a scaled down (1:5) copy of it at a design fair. The only problem is the price. The scaled copy would cost around 115′000 Euros as the full bed is 1′200′000 Euros (yes, it’s more than a million euros for a bed!!!) Link
