8 furnitures to add some hand-knitting to your interior design

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 07:44 AM PDT

For a few decades, hand-knitting was seen as an old-lady stuff only. While old ladies still create the occasional warm sweater or scarf using this technique, they are not alone anymore as it becomes trendy again.

Designers have taken an interest in knitting, and it doesn’t stop to fashion, interior designers also created some cool stuff inspired by the patterns of knitting.

KickSkateBoard

Convincing yourself to get a skateboard and kick board at the same time is kinda resource drain. So how about this cool innovative option called the 2 – n – 1 Board. A sexy merger of the two, this cool board morphs itself seamlessly from one to the others with ease. Simply kitsch!

Workout For A Clean Home

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 01:01 AM PDT

Orbita is an appliance that uses the energy created by body movement as energy source of the appliance. This gives you the liberty to spend more time on tasks that your enjoy rather than cleaning up the house. Although its not explained how, but the system syncs in such a way that while sweat it out in a workout, the energy expended by you can be used to do some cleaning by Orbita.

An interesting concept and is the 2013 Electrolux Design Lab semifinalist.

Not your mother’s moped.

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Though it’s almost 130 years old, the Piaggio brand is renowned for transportation that’s just plain different. The Piaggio PAM expands on this with a partially enclosed structure filled with smart-features like calibrated seat adjustment, photovoltaic solar energy-harvesting material, a HUD windshield, GPS navigation and even safety airbags. Like Piaggio’s MP3 scooter, the PAM also uses 3 wheels for added traction and balance, but these are reversed from front to back for a sportier riding feel.

Flat Pack Pendant

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Don’t be fooled by the VANITY pendant lamp’s name… because it’s not as fancy as it sounds, which is exactly its appeal. The angular, seemingly complex shape is actually a single sheet of felt material creatively folded to form a sharp-looking shade. Flat-pack ready and easy to transport or store, it’s an easy and efficient choice for a illuminating living spaces.

We encourage you to graffiti!

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Psychologists have studied vandalism for years and found that boredom, peer pressure and revenge are often the cause. But it’s often overlooked that it’s also kinda fun! Just ask Banksy! This picture frame concept, Vadalijst, allows you to insert your favorite photos and vandalize them by doodling silly things with a whiteboard marker. Mustaches, monocles, capes and more… the options are endless!

Designer: Brian Khouw
