Technology and Arts were seen on two different edges by most of the artists. Thankfully its the thing of the past. With inception of Cutting edge Technology, Artists started giving a try to blend both to get amazing effects. And When Technology Meet Arts, it can do wonders, which we are showing in our Today’s Inspirational post. Our today’s post is featuring amazing work of Mads Peitersen, a superb male artist from Denmark.

Although this incredible artist hasn’t shared any personal information over net, but that doesn’t stops us to praise his superb artwork. iPhone 4 Playstation 3 Anatomie Capture Everything iPod Nano Control Life iPod PS3 Anatomies iPod Shuffle HotToastNightmare New Product Arrival in Asia Link To Portfolio Portfolio Mads Peitersen Words I am 31 years old and live in Copenhagen Denmark. The idea is that these gadgets are becoming so advanced and cool today that we almost treat them as if they were alive.

All the best from Snowy Denmark, Mads Peitersen. Pouring Light Lamp by Yeongwoo Kim & Yanko Design. Pour Me Some Light Human actions play such a significant role in design; it’s either evident in the form or in the function. In the Pouring Light, the action is evident in the form and is delightfully executed as well! With the motive of giving off “an emotional flow of light”, the lights linger on with a mesmerizing effect thanks to the use of phosphorescence in the “water” part. Yeongwoo suggests the use of LED lights to conserve energy, and my suggestion to him: get this in the market ASAP!

This is something they figured out in Europe long ago, that if you don't have a lot of horizontal room you can go vertical. Tumidei in Italy makes some of the nicest stuff, like this unit with lots of storage under the bed.

This unit just raises the floor high enough for beds to slide under. This one looks a bit clinical, but has two single beds plus a pull-out double bed in between. When you read in the New York Times that professional couples with children are moving into small one-bedroom apartments in Manhattan and sleeping in closets, perhaps this stuff could be useful. None of this stuff is cheap, nor, as far as I can tell is it available in North America, but there are ideas here that demonstrate how people can share a space and still get a little privacy, a good place to work and a lot of storage in a very small envelope. Like this? Smart Fridge by Ashley Legg & Yanko Design. Smart Fridge Is Your New Recipe Card The Smart Fridge here is for those who have shunted cooking to a hobby and rely more on designer microwave meals. The idea is to give you a fridge that is intelligent enough to come up with a healthy recipe, depending on what you stock in it.

Not only that, it guides you with vocal instructions, spoon by spoon, till you dish out the perfect-wholesome meal. A touch interface door glams up the appliance, creating the desire to own a piece that’s futuristic but may not be what you’re looking for! Designer: Ashley Legg.

Sealing With A Hinge So far you have been sealing your cartons with either duct tape or normal transparent scotch tape. If you were to have the option of the X-tape, I’m sure you would have used it.

Design is not always about problem solving or functionality. Sometimes elements of surprise, like this optical illusion “hinge” tape gives creativity the fun-edge that it requires. Mr Lee & Mr Park, how about sealing it with a kiss next time? Designers: Hyoungmin Park & Jeongmin Lee for mmiinn. Shinybinary - Art and designs of Nik Ainley. Top. A Low Impact Woodland Home. Re_Vinyl clocks by Pavel Sidorenko & Yanko Design. Vinyl Record Clocks of Many Shapes Now, before I begin explaining what’s going on here, I’ve got to say that this ISN’T the first time I’ve seen someone apply the clock idea to a vinyl record. But- but! This is the first time I’ve seen someone do it so masterfully. These clocks are laser-cut to shapes that are fantabulous, wild, and weird. There’s a gun, a bird, a coffee pot, whatever you desire. Now think about that, that’s three ideas smashed into one – clock, music platter, and a die roll of a third ingredient.

In addition to the enticing nature these clocks already present, let me throw another tasty carrot into your soup: perfect uniqueness. Take a peek! *”plate” is another word for “record”, this comes from the idea that the record resembles a plate that you’d put your food on and eat off of.
