Designed by Fabian Nehne and Martin Meier, this RGB light concept mixes things up with 7 colors to draw design inspiration from.

The latest concept to spring forth from the design team at Art. Lebedev is the “Segmentus”—a clock with several analog hands that spin in unison to form a digital time readout. As you will see on the project page, the effect is quite hypnotic.

Some genius decided that airplanes had the perfect shape to hang shirts and coats from. Combine that with the similarities between the words hangar and hanger and you also have a delicious play on words. The only problem is that these aren’t available as actual products; they were instead designed as a tribute to the closing of the Tempelhof Airport in Berlin. Either way, I bet Douglas didn’t see this coming when they designed the DC-3.
Dominic Wilcox has created this form fitting concept case machined from a solid block of aluminum which will offer your toothbrush way more protection than 3 cents worth of plastic deserves. It’s biased too, so there’s no room for your fancy flex heads and patterned bristles. Only conventional, boring designs will work in this case. But don’t worry, you’ll get all the excitement you need when you try to pass this thing through airport security.

“Cinderella’s Chair” by designer Anna Ter Haar have a single prosthetic leg made out of glass. As you can see in the NSFW shot in the gallery after the break, the chairs are strong enough to actually hold weight—but I would say that her decision to take off her clothes was a good idea. Any added weight could result in total collapse—not to mention glass shards in very sensitive areas.
Since the parent corporation bigwigs missed the boat on board games, Nicholas “Neptune” Endean has taken it upon himself to create a Resident Evil themed version of Monopoly. It may just be a concept at this point, but he has completely redesigned the conventional board as well as all the chance and community chest cards. However, the money, box, hotels, houses, instruction booklet and die-cast playing pieces are still in the works; so you can land on Sheena Island and mortgage it for $150, but you’ll be doing it with a thimble and Rich Uncle Pennybags’ cash.
Actually, I can. I can finger it all night long. And you don’t know where my finger has been. Care for a cup?
For some reason, the designers behind this concept mug are under the impression that a lot of people like to stir a piping hot cup of coffee with their finger. Maybe that’s true, but I sure as hell am not one of them. At least with this mug pain is taken out of the equation as it features a flexible lid that you can use to shield your digit while you pleasure your beverage.
While it will be hard to stay on home keys with your butt cheeks, the Wolfgang Keyboard bench from designer Nolan Herbut (Her butt?) does cushion your ample hind quarters with pressable keys. It’s a non working concept of course, but I say version 2.0 should have a anus trackball.
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.
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.
