The reason I have chosen such a daring title is to imply you about the possibilities of Samsung’s new OLED display which only .05 mm thick, flexible and even flaps around in the wind. It was unveiled at FPD International 2008. This .05 mm paper-thin layer 4 inch screen can generate an image of 480×272 pixels with a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and 100% reproduction of the NTSC color gamut. This is actually the standard for the new flat panel screens, they could manage to put this tech. into .05 mm thickness using a new advanced technique. So, let’s not be amazed when we see such flexible ultra-thin OLED displays on places like clothes, wallpapers.

There is a useful design competition run by Electrolux to encourage undergraduate and graduate industrial design students to create innovative, daring home appliance product ideas. In 2008 finals, there were over 600 projects from 49 countries. The winner is really a useful product design for roommates who share the same refrigerator in the room.

Austrian Applied Arts University student Stefan Buchberger’s “Flatshare” refrigerator allows each individual user to have his/her own refrigerator space which can be recognized by different colors or skins. The refrigerator consists of four of detachable modules so there will be no more fights to clean the refrigerator or blame others being so much dirty. He has won € 5000 and a six-month internship at one of Electrolux global design centers. Practical, simple but effective idea, nice real life solution and it deserves the prize for sure. Put an electronic lock as well on each module, it would be a top seller.

I had written about the only swimming guitar in the world in my previous post. This time, I will introduce you my latest action gadget discovery. Walking house ! This house was built in Denmark by a team of engineers to give an idea about an alternative eco-lifestyle. It is written in the official walking house website that there are solar panels and little windmills to collect energy from the natural environment. It can collect the rain water and there is a toilet system as well.

This 6 legged hydrological living form was inspired by the traditional nomadic culture of Romanis. There is a crazy idea as well we should note. You can establish a walking village with thousands of walking houses, in theory.

Have you ever thought a bike which you can fold it into a real suitcase?

Well, I didn’t think but a Chinese company not only designed but also manufactured it. The bike can transform into an 8 kg suitcase in just 10 seconds. Nice solution to carry your bike in small transport situations or by dragging if needed and it occupies much less space, so it is really a cool item.

The manufacturer website Happy Bicycle has much more information both in Chinese and English.

What does a burnt motherboard or dead monitor mean for a regular computer user? Most probably, it is just crap and are thrown to the garbage on the same day. Artists are tend to see the objects in more creative way. Brenda Guyton has created animals like rabbits, dogs, iguanas from these crap, unused, broken computer and electronics parts. Here are two of them. Jack the rabbit and a K-9 dog. His nose is from a radar detector and it looks quite cutech. These two animals are sold at high prices, $2,800 for each but there are more simple and less priced sculptures for a few hundred bucks as well.

Surely, having a billiards table at home is the dream of most men but unfortunately financial and space related conditions become an obstacle for us. At least most of us because a man had his dream in a very practical way as you will see in this video.

Actually, it reminded me another cool idea about billiards table. You can check my another article about playing billiards on your dinner table.  I can now better imagine a house full of hidden gadgets and double functionalities everywhere.

I don’t know why but the funny idea of Aussie singer/guitarist Josh Pyke reminded me another unique idea of one of my friends years ago. Playing a really giant bass guitar with such strings like 10 centimeter diameter thickness. You just grab the string yeah hugging it and release the strings with your arms but not your fingers. The result is the total explosion of windows in the district because of the extreme dB. And after years, you become the master of playing giant bass guitars bla bla bla.

Anyway, as you see in this photo, this is just cool and how full of emotion the singer is. The boat was used in his music video “Make me happy” but my search on youtube didn’t reveal it. Maybe, next week to try again?

Who will manufacture a guitar plane which really flies and carries passangers preferably for musicians like Paco de Lucia, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai or Andrew Latimer?

Because I was very busy of interior design of my newly bought little house, I couldn’t update the blogs regularly, so to my readers, accept my apologies. By that time, my interest on design blogs like freshome, design-milk heavily increased and will write on unique design ideas and objects as well.

As a start, here is one my latest discoveries. From Oormerk, a table with lots of little drawers to place your gadgets. The reason I call is disturbing is that it is certainly not beautiful, attractive disturbance let’s say.
