BumpTop

BumpTop is a fresh and engaging new way to interact with your computer desktop. You can pile and toss documents like on a real desk. Break free from the rigid and mechanical style of standard point-and-click desktops. Interact by pushing, pulling and piling documents with elegant, self revealing gestures. BumpTop’s stunning interface makes clever use of 3D presentation and smooth physics-based animations for an engaging, vivid user experience.

Temporary Tattoo

Body art can be defined as the decoration of the naked human body and for some designers this has been a source of inspiration. To get a tattoo is a big deal and it will stay with you for the rest of your life, but what about temporary prints on our bodies? A couple of months ago we could see the stunning work of Ninette van Kamp, who explored the conflicting relationship between pain and beauty through the medium of textiles. Now Jenny Pokryvailo follows up with a longue chair based on the same idea.

Anti-Theft Lunch Bag

Stealing your co-worker’s lunch is a downright contemptible act, that is, if it’s perpetrated by someone other than you. But, if you’ve ever had your lunch stolen, you know the the frustration and anger it causes. You know the revenge and ill-will it inspires. And you know that no matter how well you try to hide your lunch bag at the back of the refrigerator, something’s gonna be missing when you open it. Well, lament no more. The Anti-Theft Lunch Bag to the rescue!
