Not Your Ordinary Clock

From Dutch designer Christiaan Postma, this clock is very intriguing.

Like every other clock, it has the ability to tell time. But the way it does that can raise eyebrows. Made out of more that 150 individual clocks mounted to a 140 cm x 140 cm panel, it seems that it shows the time in a completely messed up way. In fact, when it’s twelve o’ clock for example, individual clocks at the top of the panel spell the word twelve. This happens as a result of the great coordination of the individual clocks.

Selfillumination- The Human Light Bulb

Who ever said classic light bulbs can’t look great? I must say I find the idea of making a “creature” out of a bulb quite creative and interesting. Also the creation is so human-like, it’s impressive. I don’t know if you can order the product, but you can view some similar ones here.

The Hanged Man Lamp

Sure, a bit extreme and sadistic, but a new and interesting design idea nonetheless. The Hanged Man Lamp is not a lighting device anyone would want literally hanging from their bed side, but hey, a little adrenaline in the morning never hurt anyone,

Colgao is created by Spanish studio enPieza who is definitely not lacking design ideas.

Table Shaped Like An Umbrella

Designers say that the Umbrella Table has an aesthetic form when it’s either “open” or “closed”, which make it a nice and practical (you can store it anywhere) object for your home.

Weird Brooming System

05-bluesideup1.jpg

If you have a large home and you like the idea of it being cleaned all the time, you can install a brooming system such as this one.

We are not sure about the quality of the cleaning, but the way it functions is certainly out of the ordinary: it’s basically an automated broom on tracks.

Kinda spooky there walking on its own like that, but what the heck, it’s for a good cause. Also said to be made of human hair. We’re not here to judge.

Balloon Designs

This balloon tank is basically an idea coming from someone who does photography, but we considered it to be a fun “design idea” as well.

The photos were taken by German artist Hans Hemert and they prove that design, creativity and art go hand in hand. And last but not least, there’s no telling what you can do with a bunch of seemingly “normal” balloons.
