A British woman has painstakingly created a miniature version of Bag End, Bilbo Baggins’ house from “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings”–from the round front door and porthole windows right down to the Middle-earth maps and the barrel of pipe-weed. Maddie Chambers, a 30-year-old mother of young twin boys, started the project in March 2009 when she was taking [...]

1mm Thick Ceramic Speaker Will Blow Your Mind, But Probably Not Your Eardrums. Wow, this thing is cool. I’m not really even sure what’s going on here, but I’m told this is a speaker that is essentially printed onto this millimeter-thick ceramic substrate. I reviewed someceramic speakers a while back, and saw some glass ones the other day, but this is a whole other world. How does it even vibrate?! [via Gizmag]

Concept: The inspiration of this design is the essences of sunlight. To me, sunlight represents warmth, happiness, joyfulness, playfulness, closeness and life. However, people take the sun for granted and only miss it when it is scarce. The concept is to create a light that captures the essences of sunlight and create closer relationship with people. There will be slits in the lamp, so when people [...]

You can be in dark somewhere anytime, and give out the wrong currency note to someone, what if your currency notes start glowing in dark? You just pick up the right color currency note and hand it over. The concept is simple but unique, what if your own currency note start glowing in dark? Increasing security and making another mark for reality of currency note.

It’s the year 2050, and that’s exactly when designer Felipe Palermo places his “Mercedes-Benz Arrow” concept. You’re gonna be driving this in 40 years. This car works with a system of opposing magnets, MAGLEV, which allows the vehicle to take on some amazing curves. The tires allow for rubber to be re-injected once breakdown of the first set occurs, allowing for longer life and less (maybe [...]

I always wanted to see a world that we dreamed of before the airplane was invented. A world where airships fill the skies like artificial clouds, and we can live on them as long as we fill them with helium. We’ve reported about similar concepts before with this self-sustaining blimps, the Aircruise, and the Boeing Skyhook. Yeah, I don’t think that this design, known as Airship Traveling, will [...]

Having a small desk usually means you have to sacrifice some of the things you’d like to keep around or you’re going to have to use up floor space.  If you need a fan and a light, but don’t have the room you could always get a fan to sit on the floor and a lamp for your desk.  Then again, you could also use one of these USB lamps that doubles as a fan.  Of course, it might help if you prefer [...]

If you’re a woman who seriously loves her heels or just any general person with a serious foot fetish, now you can have a pair of speakers to show off your real love in the world.  These bright red shoes are sure to attract all sorts of attention, so you’d better be ready to come out of the closet with your foot or shoe loving tendencies. You may think it’s incredibly strange for anyone to [...]

Speakers tend to be bulky, and even though they are portable, they do take up a fair amount of space. The Flexible Speaker for the iPhone idea takes a totally different role however, where it resembles more like a hanging charm over the iPhone thanks to the clever use of “Flat Flexible Laminated, (FFT) Loudspeaker technology”. Basically, FFT technology is paper-thin and foldable, where the latter [...]

10. Giovannoni Timesphere At $150, the Giovannoni Timesphere is a nifty alarm clock that is capable of projecting the time onto any surface via a wireless orb. 9. BenQ Wall Scanner BenQ has unveiled a new type of scanner which can be hung on a wall (2cm – 9cm wide) via a hook to scan large posters or other images — horizontally/vertically depending on their thickness.
