Rocking Horse Toilets - Perry Dixon's Saddle Toilet

Freud might say this designer most certainly underwent trauma during his toilet training years. Designer Perry Dixon has built a better mousetrap, or rather, a better toilet. The claim is that the Rocking Horse Toilet provides health benefits because of its unique construction. The "rider" can expel waste more effectively because his knees are elevated thanks to the foot pegs. Are traditional toilets not effective enough? Are fiber-rich diets overrated? Dixon must have spent a lot of time on h… [More]

Fake Human Taxidermy - Joseph Seigenthaler Sculptures Use Real Hair (GALLERY)

These faux human head mounts, created by Joseph Seigenthaler, have an air of morbidity, but at the same time are captivating in terms of their incredible detail. The heads, some of them appearing to mocking the viewer while others just having an eerie smile, are all unique, and every one definitely …[More]

Magnetic Puzzles With Infinite Solutions - The NeoCube (VIDEO)

Ever figure out a puzzle, like a Rubik's Cube for example, and get bored with it? No, I haven't either. But if you're one of those lucky few who have, the NeoCube may be the ideal puzzle for you. The puzzle toy is made up of 216 magnetic spheres that can be combined in almost any orientation, result…[More]

Drawing With Hair - Jewelry by Melanie Bilenker (GALLERY)

People used to keep a few locks of hair from their loved ones in lockets. When worn, it was a way of feeling close to that person. Artist and jewelry designer Melanie Bilenker updates the idea by using real hair to draw scenes on lockets, rings, brooches and other jewelry items. She does the draw…[More]

There are dogs out there who are really getting the royal treatment. This Super Gallery shows a range of different pet homes and dog houses that really lets dogs live i…[More]

Top 22 Things You Can Knit - Purls of Creativity (SUPER GALLERY)

Knitting isn't just for grannies who knit scarves and socks anymore. If you look at this Super Gallery of the top knit items featured on Trend Hunter, you'd realize some of this is way too cutting edge to come from a senior. On the other hand, if you do happen to have an ultra hip grandma that would…[More]

Controversial Photo Exhibits - Jackass by Terry Richardson (GALLERY)

NYC photographer Terry Richardson chose the guys from Jackass to pose as the 'heroes' of his most recent exhibit at the LaForet Museum in the Harajuku district of Japan, and let's just say he wanted to feature them in all their craziest glory. The poses range from mildly serious suit shots to total…[More]

Mood Plants - The Flower Nurse (GALLERY)

Designed by QianJun Gao, the Flower Nurse is an artificial potted plant where the flowers "express" their needs by changing color. In addition, when they're feeling neglected, the leaves droop, just as a real plant's would when it hasn't been watered or has been kept out of the sun. I am all for c…[More]

Robotic Fashion Campaigns - Levi's Metal Denim Passion (VIDEO)

Robotified fashion campaigns continue to emerge as the obsession with futurism and luxury space travel continues. Now Levi's has jumped on board with this ad campaign. The Levi's Copper Jeans ads are running on a new website called Metal Denim Passion. The Asia Pacific campaign features models who…[More]

Celebrity Garage Sales - Pamela Anderson Sells Her Stuff

When I think of A-list celebrities, I don't think of flimsy, fold-out tables covered with old clothes and knick knacks. It seems that Pamela Anderson is portraying herself in just that way though: she's having a yard sale. It's not at a local conference center either, but is going to be at her resid…[More]

Creepy Crawler Furniture - The Insect Chair

As the name implies, the insect chair by Italian designer Gianpaolo Tucci takes its inspiration from the world of insects. This modern lounge chair's contours and dynamic flowing form mirror the anatomy of insects. When you exert pressure on the back of the chair, the legs dynamically open themse…[More]

Untooning Video Game Characters - Bowser Gets Real (GALLERY)

Following in the footsteps of the great work done by Pixeloo of "untooning" Mario, Homer and Jessica Rabbit, Essenmitsosse.de has untooned the famous Nintendo game villain, Bowser. Bowser is the leader and most powerful of the turtle-like Koopa race and Mario's arch-nemesis. The PhotoShopped work i…[More]

Witty Spoofs about Facebook - Idiots of Ants Parody (VIDEO)

YouTube is a great tool for creating spoofs. We've seen spoofs of famous viral videos, from silly Apple ads to parodies of Miss South Carolina. Now a group is parodying Facebook. Idiots of Ants, a UK comedy group, created a video in which people applied their Facebook mannerisms to real life encount…[More]

Canine Mansions 2 - Doggie Dream Homes (GALLERY)

Believe it or not, this is a dog house that, in all likelihood, was patterned after the dog owner's own house design. Doggie Dream Homes will build a smaller version of a real home for dogs that may include furniture, curtains, air conditioning, satellite TV, internet and even a phone line. "It …[More]

Knitted Food 3 - Delectables Series by Ed Bing Lee (GALLERY)

The knitted delectables series by artist Ed Bing Lee is the perfect gift to torture that dieting friend of yours. The knitted food items include a burger, hotdog, cupcake with sprinkles, pumpkin pie, key lime pie, ice cream cone, chocolate cupcake, and other delectables. Check out the complete col…[More]

Themed Robot Sex - Terminator Kamasutra (GALLERY)

These terminator sex positions are the bomb, in a freakish sort of way! I have to confess that I am a fanatic of the Terminator series and whoever came up with this idea is A. an absolute perv, but B. a first rate genius. You can just see the intensity of the love-making by looking at their bloo…[More]

Four-Legged Wetsuits - Scubahuahua? (VIDEO)

It's a given that most cats don't like water, but did you know there are dogs that don't like getting wet either? That's why there is now a wet suit for dogs, specifically small, rodent-like ones like Chihuahas. The outfit comes complete with flippers, goggles and a tank. Don't be so quick to judg…[More]

Geisha Glam - Kylie's New Tour Look (VIDEO)

Kylie Minogue is known for reinventing herself to keep with the times, but her new Geisha look doesn't exactly make her look like a modern style maven. Then again, who are we to judge her? She's heralded the world over for her fashion savvy, and she wouldn't be kicking off her KylieX2008 world tou…[More]

Offensive Candy - Fat Pig Chocolate

You want to lose weight, but every time a piece of chocolate comes your way, you just can't seem to resist temptation, am I right? The Brooklyn Brothers are offering you a new approach, but be warned, although it might work, it's a little bit nasty, and if you're easily offended, I wouldn't suggest …[More]

Fake Flesh Body Suits - Nicole Tran Ba Vang (GALLERY)

I don't really know what to make of Nicole Tran Ba Vang body suits. I don't even know what it's correct to call the fake, PhotoShopped boobs, butt and other body parts. Is her photographic work social commentary, camouflage, body enhancement or women's flesh clothing? Or all of the above?[More]

Rock Hard Potatoes - Secrets of Dutch Concrete

After watching a "Mr. Potatohead" commercial on TV, I got the urge to do a quick Internet search on alternative uses for potatoes. I was expecting to find some funny pictures to spam my friends' e-mail with, but to my surprise, I found myself involved in some more serious research. I stumbled acro…[More]

Political Protest Protection - The Miranda Camera (GALLERY)

The Miranda, designed by Gabriel Lam, is the perfect devise for the rabble-rouser or wannabe revolutionary, which ever term is PC right now. But I am being facetious and obnoxious. This is a very useful devise for the current political climate in the USA. The Miranda is a small, cheap, flash mem…[More]

Fake Urban Holes - HP Guerrilla Photopaper Campaign (GALLERY)

In one of the most innovative ads we've featured, HP organized a guerrilla marketing campaign for its photo paper. The urban installations were created by Publicis of Malaysia and were comprised of "holes" in the city. Each black hole was made of paper and strategically placed around the city to f…[More]

Jellyfish Robots - Festo AirJelly (VIDEO)

Most people would probably be freaked out as well as awestruck by the beauty of this jellyfish robot designed by Festo. The AirJelly performs a series of motions similar to that of a real life jellyfish to navigate and move around. It runs on a lithium-ion battery and electric motor as well as a b…[More]

Cutting Edge Restrooms - Shocking Bathroom Murals

This is what happens when women get to design a men's restroom. Recently we featured 14 of the world's strangest urinals, but this bathroom mural is more than deserving of a spot in the cluster. However, that would limit this Edge Design project to urinals, but the Men's Restroom Mural falls more …[More]

High Fashion Granny Panties - Elle Cover Features Highwaisted Undies

While it's no shocker to see sexy models in swim wear or lingerie on the covers of magazines, I was completely startled when I discovered Elle Magazine was featuring a pair of over-the-bellybutton-high granny panties on the FRONT COVER of their UK edition. This isn't a magazine for seniors, folks.…[More]

Crash Helmet Fashion - Avakian Puts Darth Vader on the Runway (GALLERY)

Although we've seen fashion helmets on Trend Hunter before, I didn't know we'd be seeing them again this soon, and definitely not on an international catwalk! Featured at Australian Fashion Week in Sydney were "crash helmets" along with an array of futurism-inspired fashions, heavy on "pod" shapes…[More]

Piano Sketchpads - Yamaha Studio Keyboard Book (GALLERY)

This leather keyboard sketchpad was designed by Yamaha Studio, the much-admired Japanese company, yet I really don't know what to make of it. Yamaha is better known for its heavy machinery like motorcycles, dirt bikes and ATVs as well as its musical instruments, particularly high end pianos, but a…[More]

$3,333.33 Ice Cream Sundaes - Three Twins Ice Cream

Trendhunter.com reported on the world's most expensive ice cream sundae, the $1,000 Grand Opulence Sundae from Serendipity of New York City. Somebody should call Guinness to let them know there is a new kid on the block - Three Twins Ice Cream's "World's Most Expensive Ice Cream Sundae". So how much…[More]

Bungee Condoms - Jumper Uses 18,500 Condoms as Rope

In what could be a great idea for a condom commercial, an extremely brave (and very crazy) man performed a bungee jump using a 30 meter rope made of 18,500 condoms. There is no social or deep statement behind this stunt, the man just wanted to re-create the "virgin buzz" of his first jump. Metro …[More]
