Incredible Lash Clock by Bina Baitel

Bina Baitel, talentueuse designeuse française, a réalisé une horloge conceptuelle toute de cils ornée et exempt d’aiguilles. Elle indique l’heure selon un système technique induisant l’écartement des cils à certains endroits et permettant ainsi de situer les hypothétiques aiguilles. Une horloge poétique à découvrir dont la conception veut suggérer la subtilité des battements de cils.




A Pen for Wolverine

titanium_pen1

If Adamantium was an actual metal, I’m sure this pen would’ve been made of it, but it’s made of the next best thing. The Titanium pen is ENTIRELY made out of titanium. Everything from the body to the clip, to even the internal mechanism (and the spring, it’s a feat of engineering), is machined out of solid titanium billets. There couldn’t be a more apt time for this pen, given how we will sorely miss our favorite adamantium claw wielding Marvel mutant. This pen may just be the perfect ode to his career. And yes, it’s pretty much indestructible too.

Most pens come with just titanium outer bodies. They rely on rotating mechanisms for the refill, or easier still, a cap. The Titanium Pen isn’t like those. It not only opts for a click-in click-out format, every component in the pen (except the refill) is individually milled/machined out of solid titanium. So yes, this one-of-a-kind pen literally will last you forever.

While there’s nothing that can destroy or even touch the Titanium Pen, it can one-up itself by writing underwater too! Opt for a refill like the Fisher Space Refill and you can write underwater or in space. The titanium doesn’t rust or lose its mechanical action under water.

The pen’s design is simple and minimal so as to show off its proudest feature, i.e., the titanium build. It comes in five parts put together and weighs a surprisingly light 80gms. A pen this mighty deserves its own excalibur-esque boulder too. The Titanium pen comes with rather neat titanium-machined stand, so you feel like a monarch every time you pull it out to wield its exquisite writing power!

Stools that Start in the Sea

eelgrass_05

This minimalist stool design is not only stylish but sustainable! Its seat is formed from a material you might never have heard of called eelgrass found along the beaches of the North Sea. From Germany alone, thousands of tons of this submerged aquatic vegetation wash up and are removed before being sent to landfills.

Designer Carolin Peitsch saw an opportunity to put the plentiful grass to use and created a fiber-reinforced eco plastic made with the aid of bio-resin. The resulting output is lightweight, durable and has a look that’s quite natural with each unit having its own unique character.
