Hasta La Ideas

We loooove Duffy London! Their latest design, the Swing Table, puts a little extra fun into dinner time or collaborative meetings by using an unorthodox structure with suspended chairs that swing and sway. Chairs that can be adjusted to the seated person’s liking, making the design as functional as it is playful. Not to mention, it makes vacuuming a breeze. Get it here! Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

If you guessed that this is the latest in heavy construction machinery, congratulations, you’re… WRONG! It’s not a steamroller at all! The latest from OTOTO, this deceiving design is actually a handy tape dispenser that will add a little character to your desktop. It makes tearing tape strips a cinch and, if you’re like me and constantly misplace your spare tape, the rear wheel opens to store extra rolls.

My Luncbox is a very nifty appliance to have in your office. It takes away the bother of queuing up in front of the office microwave at lunchtime. A USB enabled base hooks up to your laptop for power sourcing and heats up the warming element in a jiffy. Simply place your lunchbox on top of the warmer, set your time and temperature, and it’s all set. It will even pop a message on your laptop to let you know that lunch is warm and ready to be served. Awesome!

Let the inter-office warfare commence with a business card catapult

by Blair Pfander

If designer Bryce Bell has anything to do with it, business cards won’t be regarded for their paper weight or raised ink, but by their ability to fling random objects through space. His latest invention, the “Trebucard“, does exactly that, using the weight of 16 pennies to launch jumbo-size paperclips 8-10 feet in the air.

Cleverly designed to fold into a wallet-friendly rectangle, the Trebucard is modeled on a classic trebuchet (a kind of medieval catapult). Two curved wings on the outside of the card can be clipped together in the center to create a rocking teeter-totter, while stacks of taped-together pennies fit into identical windows at the top. A paperclip, slightly stretched-out, is then positioned beneath a white tab at the bottom. When the catapult is positioned upright over the paperclip and released, it lurches forward, propelling the clip into the air with jaw-dropping speed.

Not only is the Trebucard a fully-functional (if very small) weapon, but Bell makes it easy to customize it to the user’s needs. The cards can be ordered blank or pre-printed with contact information, and Bell conveniently includes a paperclip with every card, so each one is ready for blast-off as soon as it leaves your wallet. And those outside the U.S. need not worry—Bell assures us that most small coins can be used in lieu of American pennies.

Anyone who ever wanted a weird party trick or a harmless way to annoy a cubicle-mate can order cards online (prices start at $1.25 for a set of 1-9) and go forth with confidence. Also available is Bell’s Cardapult V2, recently enhanced for greater power. Take a look at the Trebucard in action in this video.
