Go goes OLED and ultra-portable

The game is called Go, but you might know it better as Chinese Chess. This design concept creates a foldable Go board which rolls up like a scroll, and is played through a OLED display.

The Go board uses the traditional Chinese calligraphy along with a painted open-book system of playing. Go and impress your friends (no pun intended) at the old chess tables in the park. They will envy you. — Andrew Dobrow

I dream of MacTab: The Mac Tablet we’ve been wishing for, in concept design form

mactab2_1.jpg

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 not in use the keyboard acts as protection for the display, pretty much like a notebook. The keyboard stays in place with a series of magnets and notches. It’s like the Kate Moss of tablets. Except, ya know, not drugged and lifeless or married to a druggy indie rocker. (more…)

The “really” Easy Chair

People who live with a limited and compact living space, which includes most of us, have a hard time arranging and squeezing in the few things they need to feel comfortable. The Easy Chair is a design concept that begins as one chair, and unravels to reveal two chairs and a table.

The Easy Chair could seamlessly be adapted for outside and inside use and is definitely a sure space saver. With how compact everything is becoming, we wouldn’t be surprised if someone could live entirely out of a 10 foot by 10 foot room. — Andrew Dobrow

iPod Earbud earrings defeat the purpose

The iArtifact project is a design concept that is attempting to take on the extent of Apple fandom with a twist of the extreme. The iPod earbud earrings are kinda cool looking, but whats the point? Why not just buy your own pair of earbuds for a buck, cut them, and paint them silver?

Also included in the iArtifcat project is desktop wallpaper and a bracelet. Though, the earbuds are the definite stand out piece. — Andrew Dobrow

First I will clean. Only then will I serve my penalty minutes

Hey, hockey fans. Want a cool way to clean without feeling like a little bitch? Check out this hockey-themed cleaning gear made especially for people like you. The storage bin, vacuum, broom hockey cleaning gear is a design concept for the maid in all of us.

I would much prefer sweeping my garbage with a hockey stick look-alike than with a traditional broom. We would so buy this. Someone make it, please. — Andrew Dobrow
