This is your future. Damn! I didn't know the future looked so good...



Pictured above is the latest World Wildlife Fund Campaign - We Are Animals (brought to you by Wrangler for WWF). Apparently their slogan “Their extinction is ours as well” is creating a lot of hype. Funny, I would have thought it was the super buff and beautiful naked bodies washed up seductively on the shores that demanded all the attention. Meh, what do I know?

Pinky and The Brain are gonna get their ass kicked...



Meet Noop and Paw, the new toys being released as part of Coarse's “False Friends” collection. One is a human dressed as a rabbit (that would be Noop)and the other looks kind of looks like a rabbit / robot (in case you lost track, that would be Paw). Whatever they are, they're bad little mo fo's set to be released on January 7th 2010 and will be sold in limited edition packs for around 350€. More info at coarsetoys.com.

Who the fak has time to do this to their food?!...


.. and why do I suddenly have a serious craving for a gigantic pretzel?!

Aww ya... that's what I'm talkin' about!



Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to run out and intentionally get hit by a bus, but this is one sweet ass ride!

Lawrence Kwok, designer of the "Nimbl", specifically developed this wheelchair with indoor use in mind. Rather than rearranging the home around the chair, the chair can be rearranged to work throughout the home. A magnetically placed armrest remote allows both right handed and left handed operation. The chair features a carbon fiber tub which houses a 10″ lift actuator, motorized hubless wheels and interchangeable battery which manipulates the device to increase the maneuverability within the home. It apparently also relieves pressure and aids with rehabilitation.

Looks like my friend over here has some competition.

Bodies everywhere



OMGawsh, this is great! Let's get a group together for a photo-outing!

I have high hopes that we can accomplish this.

Love Design loves you long, long time

Giant Squirrels would love this


Wow, this is like cribs for squirrels. Or hermits who prefer the solitary life alone in the forest. Designed by Rover Harvey Oshatz who's name is as unique as his imagination.

Hip to be square


Frederik Roijé, Holland, presents Rocking Squares, a modern take on traditional pieces such as chairs, bookcases, lamps, and rocking horses. As much as this piece may be functional I would not recommend to use as a toy, unless of course sharp edges are your forte...

Why on earth??


I don't know why, but students at Arizona State U's College of Design decided to build a "transgenerational toilet design concept" called Go With The Flow.

"The Flo toilet is an ergonomic, sustainable design concept for baby boomers that functions like a squat toilet. Designers maintain that using the Flo toilet is akin to yoga - by building and strengthening abdominal and back muscles. Only one-half to one gallon of water is used for flushing and The Flo reuses water from hand washing. To flush water from the tanks to the toilet, the Flo employs an electromagnetic ball valve. Go With the Flo also is free of mechanical parts. The toilet is fully self-sustaining and independent of electric power."

OK, so a portion of this design concept makes sense, but does the toilet really need to be transparent? I mean really... You know what this reminds me of? The water tube-slide at Atlantis, Bahamas. Except instead of watching people going through a plastic tunnel, you'd be watching shit.
