“This product aims to redefine the alarm clock”. And if it does what it says it does, then the “Awake” will do that and more. With digital science progressing at every turn, there was no doubt that technology would soon evolve to aid sleeping patterns and relaxation, which is what designer Ming Hsu accomplishes here. The Awake is both an alarm clock and a night light. The night light is a nice little touch for people who stumble around and stub their toes in their quest for the bathroom. The Awake is also super programmable. Program it to create a relaxing environment with music and soothing fragrances. Then allow yourself to feel the relaxation of a good night’s sleep. — Andrew Dobrow

Night Light / Alarm Clock by Ming Hsu [Yanko Design]

Many people don’t put a lot of focus on their desk or workspace, but really it should be more important then it is to some people. You gotta sit there all day so you might as well be happy with your accommodations. The Milk is a table built for a king, or in this case, a geek.

As it says on the Milk website, if work is your life, then life just got really good. The desk has everything a man could want. Included is a pen holder, a garbage bin, a file cabinet, a height adjuster to optimize comfort, a box for your iPod, and even a built in fish tank for your little pet.

Your Mac has been good to you. This Valentine’s Day, give it a little something back with The Milk. (more…)

This thing is ugly. And by ugly, we mean that we would never let our kids eat something that came out of something that looks like a bad prop from a Ed Wood movie. But then again, almost every creation spewed by Yanko is a huge, useless piece of ugly. The designs they com up with are so deeply nestled in niches that no more then 100 people can be truly impressed by each one of their products. I don’t know how this thing is supposed to make my fruit properly chilled and I don’t care to know, but what I am concerned about is the blurriness of the child in the picture. Has he been permanently blurred beyond recognition after standing in the shadow of this atrocity? Ok…we’re sorry…we’re overreacting. Ahh, nevermind. This thing makes Rosie O’Donnell look like Cleopatra.
