This digital shelf, developed by a French designer named Jean-Louis Frechin, was recently showcased at the International Milan furniture show.

WaSnake, as the product is called, is made from wood and an elastomer material. The shelf is capable of displaying SMS messages and news items from RSS feeds selected by the user.

An “sms receiving mirror”? When I read the title I was certain that it was yet another looks-awsome-but-you-will-never-be-able-to-buy-one concept.

But it actually turns out that the +336+ SMS Mirror is a real product. It will cost you $10 000 though and it is only a limited edition of 20 units.

The +336+, designed by Robert Stadler (of the French design group Radi Designers), is a mirror able to receive SMS messages sent from a mobile phone. The messages appear as luminous text, running on the mirrors’ surface when one gets close to the mirror.
