Valeria Miglioli and Barnaby Barford's stamp cups on Thorsten van Elten webshop

Coffee cups with stencils.
Who has not doodled with cup-rings of coffee on a coffee-shop counter top or office blotter? I have, that's for sure. Frequently. Now these cups takes coffee cup doodling to a whole new level, and I love it. I found this on iCYbELLE, a Spanish speaking blog that has been kind enough to link to our other blog, Smart Stuff. iCYbELLE is in Spanish, and though I must admit that Spanish is all Greek to me, they had the link, so now I know that these fab cups come from Thorsten van Elten, are designed by Valeria Miglioli and Barnaby Barford and sell for GBP 29:- (approx. USD 53:-) for the pair.

A new take on power strips.
The E-rope is a new idea for a power strip. It lets users add or remove sockets at will. Moreover, all the sockets can be turned 180 degrees, so adjacent sockets are not blocked. When electrical devices are not in use, simply twist the socket section 90 degrees to disconnect the flow of electricity. Gold winner in the Student Design category in the IDEA Awards 2006. Design Chul Min Kang and Sung Hun Lim for the Pratt Institute.

The MIN children's chair and rocking horse.
The MIN is a fun, engaging chair for children aged five to eight that also converts into a rocking chair. Made from a single piece of injection molded plastic, the design offers great manufacturing efficiencies and could be produced in a wide range of fun colors. With no legs and its single, rounded form, the MIN.CHAIR is ambiguous at first glance. But the cleverness of its dual function soon wins over all who see it. Gold winner in the Student Design category in the IDEA Awards 2006. Design Chul Min Kang for the Pratt Institute.
