Vacuum Backpacks - Fuel Cell BacVac (GALLERY)

I could rant on and on about the hassles of vacuuming, and I think a lot of people would agree with me. The constant leaning over is one such pain and of course there's the dents left from bumping the vacuum into everything, the cord getting stuck under doors, etc. If you have to carry the darn thing all around the house anyway, why not put it on your back and make it cordless? The Continuum studio, connecting Boston, Seoul and Milan, has a great concept called the BacVac, a cordless backpack… [More]

Asimov’s First Law - Friendly Scales By Alice Wang (GALLERY)

Hand-Printed Tights From Finland - Zukale & Huoviala Fashion (GALLERY)

So far it seems that this decade is all about accessories, and this year especially is all about colours. Let it be gloves, hats, scarfs or socks.

Custom Color Jobs For Your Tech - ColorWare (GALLERY)

Although I wouldn’t refuse one in pink either, just to pay tribute to the cliché of clichés… [More]
