We’ve featured hundreds of clocks, lights, coat hangers, iPhone docks, alarms and speakers… but we’ve never seen one concept that is ALL of the above! Called Hook7, it’s seven every day tools in one puzzling object. Check it out!

Flat Pack Pendant

Don’t be fooled by the VANITY pendant lamp’s name… because it’s not as fancy as it sounds, which is exactly its appeal. The angular, seemingly complex shape is actually a single sheet of felt material creatively folded to form a sharp-looking shade. Flat-pack ready and easy to transport or store, it’s an easy and efficient choice for a illuminating living spaces.

Concrete Cast Lighting

The Bullet lighting collection celebrates the versatility of an age-old material, yet one that isn’t commonly used in lighting… concrete! The coneal shape of each shade makes it a great pendant option but can also be positioned on the floor or shelf for directional lighting. A spectrum of vibrant color options give this otherwise stark designpouts the right amount of pop.

Mod-Style Scooter Lamp

The neo-retro design of the MOB lamp series was inspired by mopeds of the sixties and nods to members of the mod subculture who rode them. MOB VELVET contrasts gold with textured black that’s soft to the touch, while MOB WOOD features matte white against raw ash. Each signature “headlight” is equipped with a low voltage halogen bulb and spherical metallic reflector for high brightness despite being only 20 watts.

The Guiding Light

Only if the Titanic had been adequately equipped with rescue gear, many more people would have survived the sinking. The thing with disasters is that they are unpredictable and the only way to outsmart it is to be prepared. Life Guide is one such rescue equipment that takes advantage of technology to ensure safe rescues on a capsizing boat or ship.

Designed as a quarter-circle shaped device, it hooks onto three others, to complete a full circle. It can be used as an alternate light source and in the event of an emergency red LED light start flashing. Essentially the device can be used as a flashlight, exit guide and flotation gear. RFID signals connect each device to the nearest emergency exit. I like the scope of this gear and hopefully it inspires something as comprehensive as this.

Stealth Chic

Visible Keys

Wow Clear is a keyboard cover that magnifies the letterings and also provides OLED backlighting. The concept germinated from the thought process that as we age our eyesight gets weaker and we resort to vision corrections. This keyboard cover helps you view the keys better and customizes the colors according to your fancy! What quirky fun!

Wow Clear is a 2012 TISDC finalist.

Twisty Lever Light

Appropriately named the “Mechanical Light,” this industrial desktop lamp is stripped down to the bare minimum for a stark, minimal, yet fun and brightly colored look! Intuitive and easy to move, its functionality is obvious in its simplistic lever form that uses a weighted balance to achieve the user’s desired angle. It’s cool, industrial style is a perfect compliment to both the modern and classic office space. Check out its sweet moves after the jump —>

Marc Adamus Photography

Focus sur le travail de Marc Adamus, originaire de l’Oregon, qui s’est spécialisé dans la photographie de paysages, semblant parfois surréalistes tant il joue avec les lumières et les couleurs pour capturer toute la dimension sauvage de la nature. Un travail magnifique à découvrir en images dans la suite.
