Fiber Optic LED Glove Puts Light At Your Fingertips

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
It’s a shame what happened to glowsticks. What was once a useful hand-held lighting device has since been ruined by generations of raver douchebags who twirl them like batons. Luckily, it looks like flashlight technology might be taking another step forward with this Fiber Optic Glove concept.

Created by Slovenian designer Tilen Sepic for DesignBoom’s Bright LED competition, the power of the gloves starts at the wrist, where a battery pack and LED light source are hidden. Vein-like fiber optic wires then bring the light up the hand to the index finger and thumb. With the touch of a button, your palm will glow a bright white light, or emit a beam from the finger tip. Tron Guy would be proud. See more images of the concept below…

Tantisassi Candy-Looking Sofa

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Designed by Matteo Thun for Italian furniture maker Rossi di Albizzate, the Tantisassi looks more like a bowl of M&M’s than your standard sofa. On the sofa, strategically positioned polyurethane-foam cushions cover the steel frame and come in removable elasticized wool covers. If you like the design but would rather avoid the M&M color scheme, the Tantisassi is also available in white, which we’ve pictured after the jump:

Peugeot 888 future car

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
The Peugeot 888 is billed as the "personal vehicle for the future Metropolis." For designer Oskar Johansen from Norway, that means a car with space for two with room for luggage, as well as a nifty shape-shifting body. On the highway, the Peugeot 888 stretches itself out flat so that it's stable and aerodynamic. In the city, however, it scrunches up for easier parking and taking up less of the road in general.

Mad water gun (fire extinguisher)

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
The Shooter is a conceptual fire extinguisher thought up by designers Eunjung Kim, Yangwoo Kim and Junyi Heo. It makes putting out a fire as easy as aiming and pulling the trigger, which will send a cannon round full of CO² at the blaze. If that doesn't put it out, just keep firing — you've got eight shells in there. The idea is that it's far easier to use than your average fire extinguisher, it's able to be reloaded and keeps you away from the blaze. It's got a laser sight (which probably won't help out too much in the event of a large fire), as well as an alarm to warn everyone around you. So it is basically the best prank toy ever.

A Million Person Pyramid To Be Built?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Well, we've seen London's 100,000 person tower concept, and Japan's 1,000,000 person pyramid of doom, and now, unsurprisingly, Dubai wants in on the action. Dubai-based architecture firm Timelinks has developed plans for a million person ziggurat. What the hell's a ziggurat? "A ziggurat was a temple tower of the ancient Mesopotamian valley and Iran, having the form of a terraced pyramid of successively receding stories or levels. Some modern buildings with a step pyramid shape have also been termed ziggurats."

If there were ever a case, it would be the Trampoline Coffee Table by Alberto Bonomi, available for sale through GreenerGrassDesign for $4,500. According to the product listing, “the premise is, why have a middle on a coffee table when the drinks are placed on the edge- might as well be a trampoline.” Here’s one answer: you might knock the drinks off.

Schimmel’s K 208 Pegasus Oval Art Grand Piano

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Designed by eccentric German designer and aerodynamics expert, Professor Luigi Colani, the K 208 Pegasus manages to “free the grand piano of its traditional form” and still produce superior quality sound when played. Professor Colani, who commutes between Tokyo, Los Angeles, Berlin and Paris, is at war with all corners and edges. So he paired up with renowned German piano maker, Schimmel Pianos, to create the futuristic K 208 Pegasus in his favorite shape, the oval.

On the piano well-thought-out details maximize comfort, like an extendable, integrated piano stool and an electrically-driven lift mechanism that silently raises or lowers the top.

So how much does the Schimmel K 208 Pegasus cost? While we were unable to obtain exact pricing, we do know that Miami’s Delano Hotel recently dropped $200k on a Lucite piano from the same Schimmel Art Collection for its Lenny Kravitz-designed lounge, the Florida Room. The Florida Room’s Schimmel is a replica of the piano Kravitz keeps in his own house.

The Waaz speaker shelf is a subtle sound system solution. Designed by Jean Louis Frechin of France, the speaker shelf is described as “a shelf connected to a computer that doubles as a device for audio diffusion and archiving digital music files (MP3).” Don’t ask us to translate that. We’re a fan of the design. Though it sort of looks like an ipod speaker set that’s missing the iPod dock.
