The next time you and your buddies decide to line camp for weeks on end in an attempt to score the latest hot product or event ticket, be prepared with the IZAT (Immediate Zip Aid Tarp) Wearable tent. Whether you are wearing it as clothing, using it as a shelter, or linking them together to form larger structures, the IZAT ...

The “Guardian of The Feast” seen above is a dragon-shaped grill and smoker combination designed by Ed McBride. Not only is it a fantastic piece of artwork by a skilled sculptor, it also looks like a great place to cook up some pigs. Just be prepared to pay far out the ass for it. Sold for $65,000 (other units are ...

If you’ve never had the chance to serve time in one of our fine penitentiaries, you have never had the chance to count down the months until you were let out of prison. The Doing Time Clock has that etched in the wall look that jail birds are going for these days. It’s a great alternative if you don’t want ...

The Snooze concept design mashes together a slick white cellphone, with a slick white alarm clock. Most cellphones already come with a alarm clock function, but we can’t think of one that actually doubles as an alarm clock. Complete with LED number display, don’t be scared of any lost features. Snooze is a phone first, alarm clock second. Pretty cool ...

You’ve gotta admit, time hasn’t treated the design evolution of crutches very well. They are still as uncomfortable as ever, causing blistering in the underarm region. S_UPPORT is a new concept design for an improved ergonomic crutch system. Great new for all of you cripples. The S_UPPORT crutches are made of plastic, rather than wood, and are even recyclable. They ...

This wallet is almost indistinguishable from a real air mail envelope, but is actually an excellent tri-fold wallet, with a ...

This isn’t a drawing or some sort of CGI effect. It’s a scale model of a Toyota Corolla by artist Benedict Radcliffe rendered entirely with wire. I only wish I knew how he did it. More pictures after the jump.

What time is it? How the hell should I know – my watch has only one hand! I don’t buy watches to tell the time! What are you…stupid or something? Actually the Botta’s unique one-handed design simplifies how we tell the time. From what I can gather, the watches pictured above read 10:30, meaning that each small notch represents 5 ...

Gateway has finally taken the wraps of their sleek new all-in-one PC dubbed “The Gateway One”, and the verdict is that it looks a lot like an iMac – but cool is cool, and I can’t really say that I mind all that much. More info after the jump.

Using a frog as the inspiration for a bicycle is certainly an interesting concept, and the results of Alex Suvajac’s work prove that it can produce a cool looking design. But the nature theme doesn’t stop there – the lower part of the frame would be structured “much like that of a human bone.” Despite it’s good looks, I would ...
