The Halo Lamp is Heaven Sent For Artists

Custom Seating to Enhance Ice Cream Eating I like ice cream as much as the next girl, but all I need to enjoy it is a spoon or a cone and a nice hot day. However, Swiss ice cream manufacturer Mövenpick has taken things a step further by hiring Claudio Colucci to design a chair specifically customized to enhance the ice cream eating experience. The result is the “Ice Lounge”—a white cocoon that supposedly relaxes the mind and body while heightening the senses to the complex, sugary flavors. It also features a built-in music system, so hardcore ice cream experts are free to pair metal music with mint chocolate chip. Unfortunately, the Ice Lounge is for special events only.

or all you guys who like to dabble a little in the arts don’t you struggle at times to find the perfect light for those creative projects? The Halo Lamp by Sander Muller offers a seriously good looking solution to this problem with the Halo Lamp. Because there is a circular ring of light and no

bulb, it minimizes any annoying shadows that might interfere with your work. The Halo Light is a custom job, so be prepared to shell out some serious cash for it—but if you have ever been into an art supply store you are already well acquainted with exorbitantly high prices.

3-in-1 Data Tray Dock Having too many peripherals on the desk these days is not cool - you end up with a mess that might never be cleared up, considering the amount of workload that you have. Brando aims to help with this 3-in-1 Data Tray Dock. This is special because it not only holds a 2.5 SATA hard drive inside, but also comes with a 4-port USB hub and a memory card reader enclosure, all rolled into one.

April Fools Day Gag

We’ve only got less than 10 months to plan for our next April Fool’s Day pranks! That might seem like enough time, but you know those weeks are going to fly by. This awesomely mean Digital Camera Shocking Gag looks just like a modern day point-and-shoot, but is actually a concealed prank. Perfect to shock the April out of your victim! The fact that this prank gadget gives a disclaimer warning that the pranksters should, “Use at your own risk, not recommended for children under 14 years old, adults over 50 years old, or persons with any medical conditions”, leads us to believe that this toy isn’t one for the faint of heart.

Waterless washing machine concept This washing machine concept will make many people happy the moment it gets a life. Right from the lady at home who is, most of the time, sulking for water shortage to the government who keeps shouting loud to pass on the message of ‘saving water’. The concept, called Xeros washing machine, designed by some British inventors, uniquely uses just a single cup of water to wash those piles of clothes in the washing machine. In every wash there are chips that get heated, as the available one cup of water heats up, and absorbs the dirt and stains from the clothes. Once the washing is over the chips are removed and they can be reused upto a 100 times. If all goes well you’ll see this washing machine in the market around next year and we are sure it will take the ecofriendly revolution to the next level of innovation.
