Making Barcodes Not Boring

Japanese package designers decided to take the boring barcodes and add designs around them. You forget that the barcodes are there at all. Also on the link, there are examples of other barcode-related designs, even a building with a barcode as the fascade.

Lean and Clean Balancing Machine Bookshelf

The Lean and Clean Balancing Machine Bookshelf is not only a cool looking bookshelf but also serves many purposes. The most functional being that it is not fixed in one position. This bookshelf is always balancing on one round peg in the wall. It keeps the dust off since, it won’t rest on flat surface for a long time. Everytime you take a book off of one side, the whole shelf will tilt. Another useful feature is that the counterbalances are decorative frames. You can put tiny flowers like the ones in the picture or real pictures of you looking scared while going down a roller coaster last year at Six Flags.

Two Things You'll Need In Life

First one is the product on the left. They call it the SteakHouse Grill. It’s pretty much a steak toaster. You put your steak into the middle and the electric grill heats it from the sides. The fat grease drip to the bottom which also reduces smoke. It’s $199, so why don’t you have it yet? Oh yeah, I can’t find a way to buy it.

Second (to the right), is a Tetris ice block manufacturer. It’s a concept design that they named “Tetrice.” It’s an ice tray with Tetris block shapes so you can play Tetris as long as ice doesn’t melt. So, this is great for when you’re outside in below freezing temperatures and you got nothing to do.

Backfrog Portfolio Redesigned

I’ve redesigned my portfolio website. I was able to do this in a couple of days. There are still a few things I need to add like my personal works section. I may add a blog about CSS and Photoshop techniques and/or SEO, usability, accessibility and user experience tips. In the future, I will divide Sung’s Blog into different sections or branch off to multiple blogs so that innovative furniture designs aren’t mixed in with fart videos.

Cutlery Pen Caps

Designed by Andrea Cingoli, Paolo Emilio Bellisario, Cristian Cellini and Francesca Fontana. These pen caps can serve as a cutlery.

Turn your favourite office tool from your desk in a common cutlery…this is din-ink. A set of pen caps, including a fork-cap, a knife-cap and a spoon-cap, that replaces the normal pen cap during lunch time! All caps are made by annually renewable resources, like natural starch and fibres, to be 100% biodegradable and atoxic, warranting the best alimentary use. Dispensing each set in a compostable packaging the whole set is designed to respect the environment. Now give your office ballpoint pen a good excuse to be gnawed by your teeth: use them for din-ink.

Pac-Man Christmas Tree

Other countries have so much fun. This is in Spain.I think they should’ve taken the extra step and made it playable. The shape should make it extra fun like you would have to run around the tree when your Pac-Man is towards the top of the tree, where it is narrow, and you wouldn’t know if a ghost was coming in the next turn.

Smart Nail Guide

Michael Harris designed this concept idea for a nail assist. It helps to strike the nail with a bigger metal area at the top. It also helps you strike the nail down straight. The third benefit is the protection to your fingers. If you still hit your fingers even with this device, you do not have the sense of touch and sight.
