Yet another invention that will help ensure that obesity has a unobstructed path to victory is this concept lawnmower scooter. Designed by Vicky Petihovski for small yards and gardens, it sports an electric motor to power the blades as well as the scooter which will haul your lazy ass all over the yard. The transparent bin in front collects the clippings, and a small window is provided so you can see how much space is left. No word on pricing or a potential release, but laziness will no doubt demand a product like this to be produced ASAP.

You know what we need? Dedicated chairs for back scratching—or maybe even back scratching functionality built into a massage chair. Designer Dana Gordon is pioneering this new product line with an “Itch Chair” that features a scratching actuator controlled by running your fingertips across a touchpad on the seat base. It even has interchangeable “fingernails” that can be used to achieve the appropriate intensity.
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.
