A New Aged Cell Phone- Imagine This
Rawphisticated Cell Phone (pictured above)
The phone designed with wrinkles. This cell phone exhibits a deliberately unfinished finish. There is tension between its roughness and smooth realization, but isn't this a more honest representation of life and how we live it? No orange is a perfect sphere; no tree grows in a perfectly straight line. Why then do we seek perfections in our lives and in our objects? The rawphisticated phone plays with the real world of being and becoming and refuses to privilege either the unfinished or the perfected state. It comes out of your pocket dog-eared and wrinkled, like a business card would, or rough and chiseled, revealing the hand of the sculptor.

CUn5: Superpractical Cell Phone (pictured above)
Consumer electronics nurture dreams of pure functionality, which mostly lead to products characterized by generic features and dull practicality. This need not be the case. Why not push practicality to a higher level? A practical mobile phone will have its buttons neatly aligned for maximum legibility. A superpractical phone will array them across every possible surface so that no matter which way you grab it – upside down, in the dark, in a panic or just plain drunk – you have immediate access to a dialing surface. The first surface touched becomes active and aglow, ready for you to dial, talk, or listen, while the others lock patiently in place.

The Charge Box

THE CHARGE BOX- PERFECT FOR A WORLD SO OBSESSED WITH CELL PHONE THAT WE NOW LIVE IN
In a world that is obsessed with mobile phones, PDAs, iPods and the like, we are perpetually draining and recharging our batteries. In-home refuelling is a cinch, but the same cannot be said for public places where electrical outlets are typically guarded against unauthorized recharging.
The ChargeBox offers a solution, which consists of 6 small lockers, each with 4 unique chargers that can power 90% of our mobile devices. Users simply plug in to the charger that corresponds to their device, make payment with a coin or via SMS, lock their box and return when charging is complete. The ChargeBox will top up your battery for 40 minutes at a cost of £1. Already a big hit in parts of East Asia and the UK, it's only a matter of time before ChargeBoxes spring up in a mall, airport, or coffee shop near you. by Harold C via Springwise

Fabric by Blackburn Features ... "Mr.Rogers"
Casa Son Vida- Mallcorca, Spain

This may not be your idea of a home but it is bold and fun, and it has certainly attracted wide media attention. The 8,500 square-foot Casa Son Vida is a cooperation between three powerhouses: Luxury residential developer Cosmopolitan Estates,eclectic Dutch designer and founder of Mooi, Marcel Wanders,, and award-winning Los Angeles, Switzerland and Hong Kong-based tecARCHITECTURE.
Casa Son Vida is located in the Balearic Islands off Spain, on the Island of Mallorca, where humans have lived since 6000–4000 BC and where more recently, tourists have over-crowded every beach. But Casa Son Vida avoids the touristy kitsch and aims much higher. It is in the exclusive Son Vida community, just 15 minutes from the capital of Palma.
Casa Son Vida is in fact a reno of a 1960s Mediterranean villa, but it has been turned into an fantastic, sprawling luxury residence, designed to attract the young, discerning and bold, who are confident and design-savvy enough to know what they are looking at.
The handiwork of Marcel Wanders is evident everywhere in the Casa that looks a bit like an unruly movie set with its dino-bone exterior staircase, and various bits and pieces that remind you of Tomorrowland, Mickey Mouse, Finding Nemo and, of course, Alice in Wonderland.

Beautiful Watercolor Landscapes


Z.L. Feng grew up in Shanghai and began painting at the young age of seven. After experimenting with all kinds of different mediums, he finally settled on a favorite - watercolor. The artist always revered the medium because of its level of difficulty. “With watercolor you cannot cover your mistakes, so you must know what you are doing,” he says. One of Feng's favorite places to find inspiration is in the countryside of Virginia's New River Valley. “Usually I go around - to the river, the forest, the lake – to try and find interesting compositions.” One can only imagine the beautiful landscapes he must see during the fall season, when the leaves change colors. Before coming to the U.S. in 1986, Feng received his BFA degree from Shanghai Teacher’s University and taught in its art department for four years. He completed the MFA degree at Radford University in 1989 where he is currently a Professor of Art.
