Don Norman is THE guy.

Just watch it!

Cloud Umbrella

This is the Cloud Umbrella, by Dutch designer Hoonsoo Kim.
For me, it´s a nice attempt to change the regular umbrella shape, but will it really protect you from the rain? Tell me if I´m wrong, but I really don´t think so.
The Ninja Umbrella is a much better idea!

Ninja Umbrella

Another great design here folks! What guy have never dreamed about being a ninja warrior?
This is the Ninja Umbrella, an ordinary black umbrella, disguised as a ninja katana.
I just can´t imagine how fun it would be to walk with this good in it´s folded position around the streets...Damn, I really need one!
I just don´t think police officers would like it very much, but it would certainly keep the bad guys away.

Salt and pepper pebbles, again...

Designer Woody Hsieh have designed this salt and pepper shakers recently, for Toast Living...

But...This concept already exists and it was explored before.
Just take a look at Yamazaki´s “Tantalyn”, which is at sale everywhere, including Amazon and Macy´s.

I´m getting tired of it folks...

Inspiration again...

Designer Mi-So Sim came up with this design some time ago...
Little did he know, that Form Us With Love had designed a very similar concept a long time before him...
Rip-off? Inspiration? Another lazy designer who doesn´t like to research? Who knows...

Cute, but silly.

MOBY is a spout cover that brightens up the bath while keeping baby’s head safe from bumps.

Sure it´s cute, but it failed to create an emotional, reflective connection, in my humble opinion.

The water flush usually comes from the whale´s head, not from it´s throat, so to make this object emotionally connect with people, specially with kids, it should directly resemble to some other object that drops water from it´s bottom...Maybe like a cartoonish smiley cloud or something like that.

You Tube TV stickers = Cool idea!

Ignacio Pilotto just came up with this simple, yet very creative and funny idea.

You know, in my opinion, the better ideas are the most simple.

If you are a You Tube addicted, this stickers are just perfect for you!

Want to know who I am? Google me!

This is a damn clever idea by designer Ji Lee. This card is ideal for people who have lots of work spread over the net, and in fact, would work even better than a regular business card. It would show to the researcher hundreds of works published at hundreds of different sources, instead of showing only your personal website.

Although, If you have a very common name or share the same name with some Hollywood star or any other "celebrity" it would not work very well.

Garden Gun 5.1

Ever wondered about a water gun with infinite ammo? The guys at Design Reaktor Berlin did!
It certainly make the act of watering the garden much more fun.
I just hope the little flowers don´t get too much scared with a giant guy with a crazy face pointing a weapon on them!
