I love browsing the Yanko Design Store for cool and forward thinking products. I recently found these awesome icon laptop and camera cases, along with a few envelope style laptop messenger bags from designer 25togo. Designed to look like your computer's file icons, you can take the inner workings of your computer outside and keep your tech covered in the process. Prices range from $22 for the Read more
Vampire power month may be over (how appropriate that it was in October, no?), but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying to find ways to reduce our electric bills! We are living in a digital world, which means nearly everything needs to be juiced up to work. I've already got my laptop working overtime at the office and at home, so you can imagine that I'm a pretty powerful energy vampire on Read more
At times, I feel the need to take my laptop and head down to the park to work in the grass. You know, be a little closer to nature in this high-tech world. But with deadlines looming, I can't always make the trek and leave without a power source. But this genius Breathing Partition I saw on Yanko, could bring my two worlds together after all. Thick slots in the attractive cube dividers make for Read more
I've touched on USB bracelets before — remember the brightly colored USB flash drives? Well designer Laurent Hongisto has designed these Lisco USB Snake bracelets that are similar to the colorful ones, yet they are much more geek chic and actually wearable. You can just pull them out of your USB port and slap them on your wrist, making it easy to access files while on the go. Keep in mind Read more
Since I love uncommon ways to keep power cords stowed away that are still aesthetically pleasing within your home's decor, I was all eyes when I came across this simplistic cord holder. The Hang On Outlet, designed by Paulo Oh, has created this user-friendly cord holder that makes unplugged cords look neat and tidy. View 4 Photos ›Photo 1Photo 2Photo 3Photo 4 Read more
It's a known fact that I spend more time online than almost anything else (other than sleeping I suppose), so it's only natural that my feeble attempts at keeping houseplants alive rarely succeed, and they die within a month. The only plant I've been able to keep alive for longer is my iGrobot, and that's because it sits on my desk at work, reminding me to water it! Sad, right? There's nothing I Read more
I'm stoked about the future of technology and design, because I'm witnessing products now that look like my favorite futuristic movies that I watched back in the day! From sleek cell phones to high tech beds to lounge on, concept design is becoming an obsession of mine. Although this little gadget performs a well known function, you might not be able to tell by its design. Do you know what it Read more
This concept designed "Mooon" phone by Sunman Kwon certainly isn't one of those wacky "out-there" tech designs. With touchscreen, a digital camera, and built-in bluetooth headset, I can totally imagine this phone someday being the real deal. Although it may look like a PSP gaming device, the Mooon, which was featured on Yanko Design, is said to be described by the designer as a "innovative Read more
I hardly ever hear about phones made out of anything besides plastic or glass, so whenever a device fashioned out of an experimental material pops up I take notice. This colorful SaY phone makes the cut for being innovative because its body is covered in brightly colored rubber. The back of the phone features a four megapixel camera and stereo speakers. Is it too loud to be considered chic? Read more
Remember the concept for the tiny clip-inspired portable music player that supports CD and MP3 files? Turns out there is a pretty similar concept out there by designer Yeon-shin Seung that plays DVDs. You insert your DVD the same way you would on the CD and MP3 player, but a little display pops up to reveal your content. I love the design and idea, but don't think it's all that practical or Read more
