Joongho Choi’s concept table “Pixable” is supposed to be an artistic representation of pixels, which are described by the artist as “expanding the boundary of the art format since it replaces paper”. However my first thought, besides the fact that it looks like a bunch of cannibalized Rubik’s Cubes, it that it would have been the perfect piece of background furniture for Peter Gabriel’s “Big Time” video. It also reminds me of “Marble Madness”. Probably not the futuristic edge Joongho was looking for… Unless this thing was designed in 1975.

There have been several Vader alarm clocks in the past, but the latest exclusive from the official StarWarsShop might very well be the most effective at getting you up. You see, each morning will be met with an alarm and the projected shadow of Darth Vader on the wall, ready to strike. There are no details on how big the projected image actually is, but if it’s life-size, you might be headed back to bedwetting.

Sitting down to eat dinner can also become “Anatomical Study Time With 19th Century Dude” thanks to Lisa Turner’s 10″ Bone China “Anatomica” plate. Of course, for $74, you could buy a copy of Gray’s Anatomy and you wouldn’t have to deal with a set of eyes staring at you from your plate (unless you have one of these). It’s your call.

This map envelope concept uses an image from Google Maps to pinpoint the exact location of the sender. Amusing, but I can see a whole line of offbeat postcards with this theme. Instead of some picturesque scene, you get a satellite image of the exact location of the crappy convenience store or hotel lobby where you bought it.
Panasonic’s Nano-Care Ion Steamer uses nanoparticle ion steam to penetrate your face with moisture in order to give you healthier looking skin. Strangely enough, my first thought is whether this could be used to steam bend small strips of wood, but I guess if you want to sit in front of this thing and create your own moisturizing dream sequences, that’s ok too.
