Instant Dishwasher by Robert Lange In Collaboration With Bosch

http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/07/05/not-your-typical-dishwasher/ Not Your Typical Dishwasher Most dishwashers are the size of a washing machine, taking up as much space. What if you are a small family unit or a singleton? You don’t need such a huge size for 2 plates, a glass and some dishes? The Instant Dishwasher addresses these questions and comes off as this table-top version that integrates comfortably into your kitchen counter.
Dust Ball Dust Ball the robotic vacuum and his charger. Dave Hakkens Roombas are cute and everything, but when they annoy you, they don’t respond well to being kicked in the side. Not so with Dust Ball , a new robotic vacuum cleaner concept designed by a Dutch engineer. Inspired by a hamster ball and resembling a pollen grain, Dust Ball can be pushed or kicked in any direction to clean. Watch it roll in this video.

Napkin PC (by @baekdal) #design

It is the time of CES and the media is currently filled with a lot of very interesting products - but here is one that you will not see (unfortunately). It's a PC the size of a napkin. The best part is that it is based on passive screen technology (epaper), which means that it only needs power when you change it. The result is that whatever you draw on it will stay on the screen forever (or atleast until you change it) without the need for cables or batteries. This is a brilliant concept by Avery Holleman , and apart from the color epaper, all of it could be done today. The current epaper technology unfortunately only supports black and white (like the Kindle ).

Whether for safety or storing valuable objects, Creative Home Engineering can include optical and thermal sensors, fingerprint scanners, voice recognition systems just like in the movies. Behind bookcases, cabinets and cupboards or even underneath the staircase – i love how every object in your home can be a hidden passageway to a room or even a whole section in your house – Now you see it, now you don’t!

Top 10 Must Have Cool Home Accessories

http://www.mediadump.com/hosted-id93-top-10-must-have-cool-home-accessories.html Everybody knows the essentials of home decor such as beds, tables, and wall units for the TV, but there are some neat home decor accessories that are just plain fun! Its not that you cannot live without them, they simply make your life easier, and certainly different from the neighbor's home accessories. The toughest security lock there is. You must solve the labyrinth in order to open the lock.
I've always leaned towards browns, blacks, creams and earthy colors in home decoration, that's the boring in me. But, I don't know, I'm kind of starting to like bright colors more. Kaleidoscope kind of colors, like turquoise, fuchsia, pink, aqua, violet, yellow, orange... all combined together. I admit that could be a bit retina-searing sometimes, but if expertly put together... it looks something like this... I am absolutely in love with the "Jester" sofa, and the paper lanterns. Even the fruit matches! http://tinatarnoff.typepad.com/thought_patterns/2009/08/kaleidoscope-of-colors.html

Dew Futuristic Wearable Mobile Device Concept by Mac Funamizu

I found this post at Bakerella over a year ago, and since then I've been determined to do this myself. There are a few problems, though. I have a very tiny kitchen, and not enough wall space for a traditional spice rack I have limited counter space, so a counter spice rack is out as well. (and besides, most of them are positioned so that you can't really see what's in the bottles, which kinda defeats the purpose of this project.)
