30 Weird And Awesome Inventions. The line between crazy and ingenious is often a very thin one, and sometimes ideas that sound great in your head should really only stay there. On the other hand, there are these every day problems we all face, yet no one comes up with a viable solution that could solve them. So maybe, just maybe, one of the crazy inventions out there could actually prove to be useful with time, even if in the beginning they sound plain ridiculous?

Current problems for people There’s a war going on in the living rooms of the world – the never ending battle between home electronics and interior design.

Usability The speakers come with a small wifi antenna, that can plug in to any computer, music player or smart phone out there.

L’Usine à Design, une belle rencontre. Le concept du site ? Emilie Gobin et Charles Digby-Smith : L’Usine à Design se définit comme un site marchand autour de l’ameublement ET un site communautaire. Le design devient accessible économiquement (car moyen de gamme), géographiquement (car proposé sur le web) et intellectuellement (car il se démocratise). L’Usine à Design est en réalité à la fois site et boutique regroupant du mobilier et des objets design importés d’Asie, abordables et destinés à un grand public. Rapidement, les rôles s’attribuent en fonction des personnalités de chacun. Passionnée de e-commerce, Emilie s’attèle au web. Expérimenté au travers de différents stages, Vincent prend en charge l’aspect logistique. Charles qui a passé son enfance à arpenter les brocantes de la région toulousaine à chiner des pièces design est affecté au développement et à la sélection produits.
