Alice Wang is a cool designer from Taipei, Taiwan. She is a graduate from Central St. Martins College of Art and Design and here is one of her latest prototypes. It is a sadistic alarm clock called ‘Tyrant’. The alarm clock is supposed to take over your mobile phone if you don’t turn the alarm off and dial a new random number every 3 minutes…

This watch called Superior Watch from Kyle Cherry looks just like a bracelet, right? But the small LED displays actually tells the time. No word on pricing as far as I know, but I’m guessing that this one will cost you some serious bucks.

Another great find from one of my favorite blogs Swissmiss, is the itbox furniture system from it design. They have produced 9 different boxes in 7 different colors that can be combined in thousands and thousands of different combinations. Pretty neat.

Here is a nice solution if you want a dress that changes it’s look from time to time. Just place colored felt-tip pens in the small pockets and the color will bleed into the fabric. When you wash it, the color will disappear and you are good to go again. Neat and simple idea.

Ok, it is not glowing spaghetti it is in fact made out of optical fiber (surprise! ). One really cool with the Laluna fiber optic lamp is that you can change the color of the lighting by using a turning color wheel:

The lamp is available in two sizes and the price is between $1000 to $1200.

I guess that some of my youngest readers never even seen a compact cassette - and that just makes this nice lamp even cooler. Each lamp is hand made out of old cassette tapes and they come in various sizes and shapes. Here is another example:

You probably already know that I love weird interior stuff, and this fossil washbasin fits perfectly into that category. I don’t know the price but since it is custom made in different colors and sizes I can guess that it is ridiculously expensive.

I was really surprised when I saw that Firebox had a bunch of fresh Cobra phone remakes in stock. The Cobra, or Scandiphone, is a classic Swedish retro phone from the 1950s that still is very popular over here. The ones you can find over at Firebox looks exactly like the original one. Cool.

The Sorapot is one of the most original and beautiful teapots I have seen so far. It is designed by Joey Roth and made from stainless steel, borosilicate glass (Pyrex), and food-grade silicone. The Sorapot measures 8″L x 6″H x 5″W and can be yours for $179. Nice one!
