From designer Bomi Kim comes the Meaning of Time, a clock that is designed to let you use whatever you please as hour and minute hands. Just ate Japanese? Throw some chopsticks in there for good measure.� Though the diagram for Meaning of Time says you can insert anything into the two holes (that’s what she said!), I suggest you ...

If I could have sex with a concept design, this would be the one I would choose. Simple, effective, productive, and sleek are all words which perfectly explain this MacTab tablet design concept from Yann Le Coroller. The MacTab is an ultra-portable, and we mean VERY ultra-portable looking design which integrates a tablet display with a razor thin keyboard. When ...

Why fill up precious pocket space with a cell phone when you can just wear one on your wrist? The Bracelet Cellphone concept design by Tao Ma allows for that simple luxury. When receiving a call or message, the bracelet vibrates lightly. You answer by pressing one of the strategically placed diamonds. The big downfall? No screen display or typical ...

Have you ever felt the desire to mess around with a Rubiks Cube while messing around on your MP3 player’s menus? No? Same here.

This “Lightware” claims it will “enhance your candle light dinner experience.” I don’t buy it. How does a red LED or a blue LED get me laid? If that’s all it took, I would have ...

As a student, I can’t tell you how big of a pain it is when you spend all weekend writing up a report, only to forget to staple it on the day you need to hand it in. You end up running around, classroom to classroom, searching high and low for a stapler to use. No more! Yanko Design showcases ...

Found at Yanko Design, this Bluetooth Umbrella from Mikhail Stawsky is about as ridiculous as it gets. While you’re using your umbrella in a downpour, you can take a call with the built-in Bluetooth headset. This way you can talk into your umbrella handle during a downpour with wind blowing all around you. Makes a ton of sense. Tell you ...

The funkmasters over at Yanko Design have done it again. Yet another rendering of a wacky product has been thrown up and this time, it draws inspiration from everyone’s favorite phone and a Palm Treo.
