Milk Table

Juniper Foo | Feb 21, 2007

Niicee. This one's got style, with an almost Apple-like signature to the design. That is, clean, simple lines that flow toward the minimalism. And like the Volkswagen Beetle's flower holder, there's even a modular slot for your own aquarium if you fancy. Why Milk? That's something for Danish designer Soren Kjaer to explain. Since he doesn't really do so on his site, we'll assume that just like all the food-labeled tech names (think Apple, LG's Chocolate, LeMon), it's really about milking the art of cool.

Footloose

Juniper Foo | Feb 15, 2007

What a heel. And we don't mean cad. Here's an idea that can only be dreamed up by a woman who's suffered at the tyrannical heels of vanity. Take a pair of shoes and give them the versatility to transform into either low or high heels with an easy switch for the Cinderellas out there who have to vamp it up after hours. For her deliciously simple solution, Marte de Hollander scored a Best Graduate 2006 recognition at the Faculty of Industry Design for her aptly name project Footloose. The design secret, she says, lies in the heel shape which has separate tips for both positions. "While being used in one position, the other heel tip is kept out of sight in and opening in the sole. The shoe is being transformed with a simple and quick movement: One just pulls the heel downwards to release it, after which it can be folded in or out as preferred". What can we gals say? One heel of a job, Marte!

For freezing head bangers: Nike iHat

Edvarcl Heng | Feb 09, 2007

From top to bottom, Nike seems insistent on dressing the iPod-owning sports geek/freak. The Nike Men's Soft Shell Therma-FIT Hatphones Cap (that's a mouthy, Nike) can sit an iPod nano within its cavity, keep your noggin toasty and still let you control playback from a slot on its back. Get ahead of the running pack. Available in four colors.

Pimped Out John

Juniper Foo | Feb 07, 2007

The Lourve or the loo-rve? Here's someone's idea of commode art for the gadget geek. Roto-Rooter, an online sweepstakes site by the way, is offering as its winning pot (pun fully intended) what it has the, ahem, cheek to name the Pimped Out John. If anything, this will go down in the anals(?), oh all right, annals of cubicle crap as your ultimate kiasu toilet for the techie. For the record, it comes fully loaded with a Philips 20-inch LCD TV, Star Wars DVD, Xbox 360, Philips DVD player, Gateway EMachine laptop with robot arm, iPod with docking station equipped with a toilet paper dispenser, TiVo, stocked Avanti refrigerator with beer tap, magazine rack and subscriptions to Sports Illustrated, ESPN and GQ, bike pedal exerciser, cup warmer/cooler, and Roto-Rooter emergency service button. Paying lid service? Butt seriously, word to the wise. Keep it all nice and dry before merrily hitting that power switch while on the hot seat. Otherwise, you could be bowled over in a very different way.
