LED Ceiling

March 8th, 2010

 

Want to personalise your ceiling? Well you may not have ever thought about it but once you’ve seen this you’ll be desperate to. Simply fit the lights to your ceiling (we say simply, it looks like it might be quite tricky actually, but definitely worth it) then shine the LED light on it and voila.

 

 

Apparently this is the only kit you need… Draw The Lights, by Seo Dong-Hun, is a concept for a customizable LED ceiling composed of a network of energy efficient lights, a few sensors and a light wand. Need brighter light right above you to read? Use the light wand to turn on more lights. Want to create a special pattern for a party? You can paint the ceiling with lights to fit your mood.

Just Because…

March 4th, 2010

 

 We all love Pugs + We all love Teen Wolf = What’s not to love?

Knot to be laughed at…

March 2nd, 2010

 

We’re knot joking… Take one nautical knot and turn it into a seat or a cushion. It doesn’t look the most comfortable though… Created by the design duo of Atelier Blink and carefully named… ‘The Knot Collection’. (via Lushlee)

Smash up your guitar

March 2nd, 2010

 

Smash up your guitar… and play it all over again. It’s like something out of Harry Potter. You can smash this guitar up to within an inch of its little life only to watch it get recycled and rebuilt all over again. How do the Japanese come up with these crazy ideas?  The SMASH Guitar is $6. You can’t actually play it though, it’s just the stand in for your real thing. Take rock n roll to the next level by finishing your gig and destroying a guitar you didn’t even play… sounds as weird as it is.The guitar also makes a heartbreaking crunching noise when it’s destroyed… just so the crowd know exactly what’s going on.

Toadstall headphones

March 2nd, 2010

 

Quite why you’d want a toadstall poking out of your ear I really don’t know but these headphones are so cute we had to post them anyway.

 

 

Yes they look just like the sort Mario eats up for breakfast. Decorate your ears with a computer game heroes favourite meal? Why not? (via nerdapproved.com

Star Wars Table football!

March 2nd, 2010

 

Flickr user 2×4 has painstakingly constructed a Star Wars-themed foosball table out of Lego that’s actually playable. You can’t buy it but you can always contact them and ask to have a go? (via nerdapproved.com)

A work of music art

February 26th, 2010

 

Given that over half of us in the Giftlab office are mildly obsessed with guitars we couldn’t not post this picture: Nemo Gould’s sea monster. Acoustapus isn’t just made from an old acoustic guitar but also a salad bowl and chair parts. Check out more stuff here (via nerdapproved)

Uh oh. Nerd alert.

February 26th, 2010

 

Nerd alert. We’re pretty sure that anyone we gave this card to would have no idea what it meant but this Ctrl Z I’m Sorry Letterpress card is quite funny. (via swiss-miss)

February 25th, 2010

 Now you’re talking! An Iron Man keyboard. What more could you possibly want in life? A lot you say. Ok we get your point but still… an Iron Man keyboard!!!!

 

And there’s more….!
