Porn For The Blind
Does pornfortheblind.org have anything to do with design? Not exactly. It’s just that I couldn’t help but post this.

Pillowig by JooYoun Paek
JooYoun Paek may be one of the most innovative designers I’ve seen in a long time. Her project range from the practicle to the insane. But the thread that ties her projects together is each product solves very practical problems in garishly bold ways.
There are so many ingenious products that this woman has […]
Not by the hair…
of my Chinny Chin Chin as the nursery rhyme goes. Chinny Chin Chin is the name of a design collective based in Australia, and I’m not sure what this has to do with this outstanding collection of products they’ve made, but my guess is the domain name was available. Or maybe there are three people […]
Bomb USB Storage
The Bomb USB Storage by Joel Escalona is a clever take on those bombs you only see in old cartoons. The metaphor of the bomb is kind of funny.Although a USB cord vaguely resembles a fuse, bomb is about the last thing that I would want my computer to do. In fact, didn’t […]
Retainer Necklace by Kiel Mead at Areaware
Gold teeth have become so pas·sé these days that who wants to wear them anymore? Not to mention, if you are a young rapper, say eleven years old, you are going to want to wear something more appropriate to your age demographic while still retaining a high level of bling. And speaking of “retaining”, how […]

But sometimes when impressing a girl with your wealth requires more subtle means than just waxing poetic about your yacht. That’s when […]
Army Trash by Gerhardt Kellermann
What do do with old weapons? Turn them in to luxury fashion accessories, of course! This was the concept that Gerhardt Kellermann adopted when he created his highly refined collection of recycled weaponry: Army Trash. Just take a grenade, defuse it (I’m assuming) paint it with gold and pink enamel, bejewel it with the finest […]
TreehuggerTV: HauteGreen Salon
Treehugger.com has created a series of videos for Haute Green which are definitely worth watching. I find the designers in these videos to be a bit weenie-ish, but they have designed and made beautiful and well crafted products that are a bit less energy intensive on the environment. Go-Green-Go!
Banksy Show in LA on Revver
Recently, the New Yorker did an extensive article on the artist phenomenon that is Banksy. Banksy is an artist (or quite possibly several artists) who work on the street using the walls of London as his medium. The work is daring, politically charged, humorous, and now after Bansky’s latest show in LA, pulling in millions […]

Over the next few weeks, I thought I would start adding some of my favorite architecture and design related videos from the awesome video sharing site, Revver. These next few are from Designguide.tv. I think you’ll find these videos pretty compelling.
