Designed by Igor Lobanov from Urals State University of Architecture and Arts, Piccells is inflatable furniture provides two major uses. Working like a Japanese fan, Piccells pieces can be kept closed and worked as a room divider. In the closed state, it can also be used as a small coffee table. Once the piece is opened, each cover item fills with the air and ‘cells’ within inflate to make a piece of furniture that looks nearly like a giant sea anemone. Linking of the various cells can be changed manually to offer maximum convenience and variety. Designer proposes some biological and natural structures and textures such as Orange, Leaves, Butterfly, and Foam. Each structure represents an interconnected set of cells.

Music By The Window

Eclipse is a media player that uses the photovoltaic cells on its backside to draw in solar power and sticks onto the window via a suction cup. As expected of any “good media player”, this one too features Bluetooth connectivity to steam in music from your MP3 player or catch weather updates, podcasts & radio. The speakers are built-in but the cutest aspect to the design is the compartment to hold your music device. It resembles the compartment used in cassette tape players from yester-years; the evident “eject” button et all!

Suggestions for Android and iPhone users to download Eclipse App for “interesting screen savers as you play your favorite songs”, sounds cool! Perks of being a concept I tell you!

Rotating Bookcase

Librespiral by Gerardo Mari is a bookcase constructed of coated sheet metal in black, white and orange color. The strong point of this bookcase is a unique and functional, horizontal and vertical modular combination and round twisting mechanism that allows access from any angle. It is amazing furniture for decorating a stylish home.

Peeling With Three Variations

There is a reason why potato peelers come with brown handles; to blend in with the peels, so that you accidentally throw it out with the trash and replace it with a new one. With a sophisticated peeler like this Rotary Peeler, I doubt any such accidents will happen. Not only is it designed really simple, it’s got functionality multiplied 4 times! How? Well for starters it’s got three different blade options for peeling (one for potatoes, a serrated one for soft fruits and veggies and a third to cut uber-smooth juliennes), and a potato-eye weeder.

The whole peeler disassembles so that you can clean it up nice and easily. Maybe the many options of peeling and cutting juliennes will spark some creative cooking! What do you think?

The New Indoor Sun

The urban landscape makes it difficult for us humans to experience the bliss of natural sunlight at home, thanks to the towering high-rises. So how can we expect our houseplants to flourish or pamper them with the natural goodness of sun? Unless of course, we get sneaky and trap some solar power in the “Solight” and then hood it over the plant; trick it into thinking it’s getting some natural sunshine! Clever idea and no one will know how you manage to keep those plants happy…because you can stash the Solight away when not required!

Table On The Wall

The scene is this: you need a table but only occasionally and you don’t want it to occupy much space in your home. So how do we do this? Build it into the wall or take the innovative “hang it on the wall” approach? I vote for the latter and hence The Folding Table! It stays on the wall…doubling up as a bulletin board, but when you need it…3 easy steps and it’s a full-fledge table. What’s really cool is thatEndrit has designed the wall hooks to function as a coat rack when the table is in use. So thoughtful!

Coffee cup that stands tilted!

Cool ceramic tableware in one form or the other has been decorating your dining table since long. The available patterns, designs are undeniably remarkable but you surely want something unique every now and then. Here’s a cool coffee cup that stands apart from the crowd for the fact that it doesn’t stand straight. The cool coffee cup in zero gravity when in use can be placed vertically and when it’s not in use, it can be tilted in place just like in weightless state. Pretty unique coffee cup that surely each one of you out there will fancy.
