…just to hear the resulting racket that ensues. These stairs are actually a working oversized piano, sort of like the one from the movie Big, but in stair form.
I’d love to see Tom Hanks attempt “Chopsticks” on this baby.
If your lucky enough to pal around with people like Senior VP of Industrial Design for Apple, Jonathan Ive, than you might be fortunate enough to receive really unique gifts for your birthday. Designer friend of Ive, Paul Smith, received his gigantic iPod Nano from Ive and Ive’s Apple co-worker Jody.
In reaction to the gift, Smith said “as the real thing gets smaller, he sends me a giant version.” Hey, Ive, you wanna go grab a bite sometime?
Unless you’re a giant living inside of a fantasy novel, I highly doubt you’ll be able to fit these over-sized discs into your computer. Part of Thomas Mailaender’s “Items” project, these gigantic storage medias are better fit for dealing blunt force trauma than providing any data usage.
And the madness doesn’t stop at storage. The project also features a massive calculator and a pen the size of a child. While Tolkien might be able to find a use for these objects, maybe as a writing utensil for the mighty Ents, we’ll be left without any luck. (more…)
Pop-up books used to make me so excited when I was a kid. Hell, they still do! There’s just something about the magic of pop-up books that captures your imagination. The Space Book is the same sort of imagination grabber, but made for your interior design.
Each page of the over-sized Space Book features a fanatical set of furniture and living spaces. Just open a new page and your room takes on a new tone. While the pages aren’t made to provide a functional compact living space, it has the potential to fill that space in your home which you just can’t decide what else to fill it with. Check out the Pop-up Couch for real popping furniture. (more…)
