Getting multiple or new uses out of things that are capable of rotating is taking hold in design.
Earth started it all by rotating on its axis and rotating around the sun. Now, with huge skyscrapers in Dubai, a house that rotates to make its own energy, and a rotating home theater right down to little iPod docks and mobile phone screens, designers are making sure their products can go both ways, regardless of their size.
