World’s Smallest Printer connects to your Blackberry – no Cartridges

by Mark Alexander on February 3, 2010

After portable tools of communication and computing, now it’s time for printing on the go, and that too without leaving any carbon footprint. For PlanOn Systems Solutions has come up with a mobile printer that connecting to your laptop, netbook or smartphone lets you print anywhere, anytime with ease. Hailed as the “Printstik PS905ME,” the portable printer generates power from Lithium-ion polymer rechargeable batteries and doesn’t require ink cartridges, thanks to thermal printing technology, to produce monochrome prints. Claimed to be the world’s smallest mobile printer, the PS905ME weighs just 1.5 pounds and measures 2×2×11 inches to slip neatly in a laptop bag, purse or even a pocket.

Cyclist Foot Rests at Junctions

by Mark Alexander on January 29, 2010

Simply for holding onto while you wait for the light to change. It’s located on a little Copenhagen traffic island where cyclists wait the light. A high railing to grasp with your hand and a foot railing for putting your foot up. The foot rest reads: “Hi, cyclist! Rest your foot here… and thank you for cycling in the city.” Would you like to see these brought to the UK?

Ultimate Flexible Workspace

by Mark Alexander on January 29, 2010

Dutch designers Kapteinbolt have created a flexible workplace, called FLKS. The furniture features a desk and chair that fold out from two hinged sheets. Design firm Kapteinbolt says: ”We like to introduce FLKS (flex), a flexible workplace. Just open the panels unfold the table and the chair and put the plug in for light. The legs from the table and the chair are provided with special designed joints, pull and turn 90°.

The dimensions of the panels are a combination of sizes according to the Modulor of Le Corbusier in combination with the functional human sizes of today. This design is characterized by simplicity, clarity, freedom and space. Freedom in using and in arranging this workplace.

The dialogue between the space and furniture, but also the spaciousness of the furniture itself is an important fact. By bringing furniture back to the essence you can create space. The FLKS provides a definition of space. By giving cover to the back and to one of the sides, the FLKS creates a private and comfortable workplace.”

Sultry Sculptures – Feminine Furniture

by Mark Alexander on January 28, 2010

This lady’s torso furniture piece was designed by sculptural furniture maker Peter Rolfe. ”My current work is heavily influenced by nature, using shapes that we all recognize but would not be traditionally thought of as furniture forms.”

I don’t see any love handles to open these drawers with though.
