The Gully Cover Light

Hazel Chua — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:31:41 +0000

Manholes aren’t exactly many people’s favorite objects. So you really wouldn’t expect to consider one as being the cover that stood between you and the light (you can take this either figuratively or literally), right? Well, the Gully Cover Light is out to prove you wrong. The Gully Cover Light is basically a two-part lighting system. [...]

Bang Bang Gun Doorknob

Hazel Chua — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:30:04 +0000

Change up your doorknobs with a literal bang with these Bang Bang Doorknobs. They’re fashioned after Makarov pistols, which are semi-automatic pistols that were designed by the Soviet designer Nikolai Fyodorovich Makarov back in 1948. To the untrained eye though, they look just like a standard pistol, but maybe that’s just me. The Bang Bang Doorknobs are actually a pretty [...]

Pig Buddies USB Hub

Hazel Chua — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:17:54 +0000

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what these Pig Buddies are. The sow is basically a USB hub, while the tiny piglets are the flash drives. Store your data, files, and other work and personal documents in the tiny piglets which are as adorable as piglets can be. And when you’re ready to [...]

Prometheus Kitchen Appliance

Hazel Chua — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:40:54 +0000

For those who are impaired in any way, be it visually or physically, it always helps to know that there are gadgets and appliances out there that are made especially with them in mind. For example, the Braille Electric Plug Tags would make identifying which wires belonged to which appliances simply by touching them or checking [...]

Hazel Chua — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:33:48 +0000

Got a lot of magazines? You can either just stack them all up and store them in your cabinets, or put them up on a gorgeous display with the Magazine Globe. The globe is basically a colorful, steel framework where you’re supposed to insert your magazines in between the gaps. The Magazine Globe does a [...]

To Gather Tetris-Inspired Furniture

Hazel Chua — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:39:56 +0000

A lot of people are particular with their furniture. Some prefer ones that look traditional, while others prefer a more modern and colorful feel with their furniture. For those who belong in the latter group, then you might want to fashion your future furniture after To Gather. To Gather is a collection of furniture pieces [...]

Handwriting Digital Pen

Hazel Chua — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 03:22:32 +0000

When we moved into the digital age, a lot of people stopped writing and began typing. Most school papers are now typed before printing out. Some forms can now be filled out online. Instead of writing letters to one another, people are now typing out their communications and sending it all through e-mail. I wouldn’t [...]

Braille Electric Plug Tags

Hazel Chua — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 07:32:12 +0000

It’s easy to get confused which plug leads to which gadget or appliance when your power strip is full of plugs with wires lying one on top of the other. But these Braille Electric Plug Tags might just be the perfect solution. The Braille Electric Plug Tags are specifically intended for those who are visually [...]

Creative bOne Chair

Hazel Chua — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:26:43 +0000

If you’re into DIY stuff but don’t really have the time to build or forge a table from scratch, then do it in a semi-DIY way with the Creative bOne Chair. There are only two problems though: 1) It’s not for sale and is an exclusive design by the firm that made it; and 2) [...]

CalenClock

Hazel Chua — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 01:22:23 +0000

Wristwatches already combine features of a clock and calendar, so it’s only fitting that desk clocks and calendars get a corresponding upgrade with the CalenClock. Basically, the CalenClock is a desk clock slash desk calendar. The minute and hour hands of the clock are inter-positioned on top of a split-page calendar backing. Since it’s not [...]

Sure, this may not be your average post for GeekAlerts, but who wouldn’t want to drive around in this Lexus LF-LC Hybrid Sport Coupe Concept Vehicle. Its sleek and futuristic design not only looks cool on the outside, but it’s very high-tech on the inside as well. The LF-LC uses green technology and has front-engine [...]

Project Utopia

James Kelly — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 23:21:34 +0000

Do you know someone that has just about everything? And I’m not just talking about good looks, money, intelligence, friends; this is the person that when you bring up something new, they pull it out of their closet like its old news. Yeah, you know where I’m coming from, but GeekAlerts has got something that [...]

Ryan Cooper — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 11:37:51 +0000

Bullets are working their way into all kinds of designs, from Colt 45 Cufflinks and Bullet Space Pens to 9mm Earphones and AK47 Ice Cubes. Now there is a new one, as ArtyA is introducing their new Son of a Gun Bullet Watch. The design mimics the barrel of a revolver by suspending 6 real [...]

Super-Brella Chair

Hazel Chua — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 22:03:55 +0000

The race between the Fanbrella and the Backpack Umbrella is too close to tell. Both umbrellas are equally innovative, functional, and useful, so it’s more on an individual’s personal preferences. To go into a whole different league, the Super-Brella Chair definitely has all the other chairs and umbrellas in its category beat. This fancy chair [...]

Bye-5 Light Switch

Hazel Chua — Tue, 31 May 2011 19:18:43 +0000

The Bye-5 Light Switch definitely takes the cake for being one of the quirkiest and most creative light switches out there today. One thing that comes with being human is being a tad forgetful sometimes. Turning off the lights whenever I leave the room or my home is something I often forget, which translates to [...]

Leica i9 Concept

James Kelly — Sat, 28 May 2011 19:22:49 +0000

Maybe you can have the best of both worlds; top rated smart phone and a Leica Camera. The Leica i9 Concept is causing a stir in the digital world and it is one concept many people want to see come to fruition. Top rated Leica Cameras are very expensive and while the iPhone takes a [...]

LEGO Audio Comic

Hazel Chua — Sat, 21 May 2011 00:35:45 +0000

So we might not exactly see this in store shelves anytime soon, but I definitely think it’s something to look at, for LEGO fans, especially. The LEGO Audio Comic design concept provides a sneak peek as to how kids (and adults who can fit their heads into the helmet) can enjoy their comic books, complete [...]

Fukushima Plate

Hazel Chua — Wed, 11 May 2011 20:00:57 +0000

The world went through quite a scare with the nuclear crisis that rocked Japan after the devastating earthquake and tsunami struck the region. Reports of leaks at the Fukushima nuclear power plant flooded the air waves, with news that the country’s food supply had been contaminated with radiation. Public safety is the major concern and [...]

Shopping Cart Lounger

Hazel Chua — Mon, 09 May 2011 11:18:27 +0000

Mike Bouchet takes his art to the next level with these Shopping Cart Loungers. They don’t look like the most comfortable things to sit in, but they do make quite a statement in the world of art. The shopping cart seat is actually turned up to make a headrest, while the sides are cut off [...]

T&T Pen-ink Chamber

Hazel Chua — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 22:04:24 +0000

Let’s save the earth one pen at a time, shall we? At least that’s the idea behind the T&T Pen-ink Chamber that was designed by Han Chi-hoon, Kim Yeon-soo, Park Byong-gon & Kim Sung-geun as their official entry to the iF Concept Design competition. You probably already gathered that the T&T Pen is still a concept design [...]

Hazel Chua — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 21:02:54 +0000

The Child’s Play bed envisioned by Yusuke Suzuki looks just like every child’s dream. Ever tried reading a book and falling asleep half-way through it? Well, this time, you can actually sleep on it. The bed looks big enough to accommodate two children in its comfortably and cushy looking blankets. Crack the bed open during nap [...]

Kisai Console is the name of the latest LED wristwatch from the famous Japanese company Tokyoflash. Just like the Kisai Satellite, the new model is rechargeable via USB. The watch is the third timepiece to go from a Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog concept – then called Bright Time – to a real buyable product. Vivid [...]

Robert Birming — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:02:44 +0000

If the TRON watch, earbuds, launcher baton, headphones, wall climbing R/C toys and USB flash drive haven’t yet made you tired of products inspired by this popular sci-fi movie, here’s another nice looking concept. “Ring”, as this lamp concept has been dubbed, is an idea by the Italian designer and illustrator Loris Bottello. The intensity [...]
