Fluid Earth Bowl

Fluid Earth Bowl

Fluidforms is the maker of all things wavy. All of their products have a unique, flowing feel to them that makes them feel natural.

One of their most unique products is the Fluid Earth bowl.

Each bowl can be customized to create your very own individual bowl.

The way the Fluid Earth bowl works is you are presented a map from which you pick a surface area (such as your hometown or favorite city) and Fluidforms will analyze the topography of that area and then create a bowl that follows the contours of the topography.

So since I’m here in Denver, I could have an interesting bowl with the Rocky Mountains making its way down the side.

Each bowl costs around $240 USD and takes around 3-5 weeks to produce and ship.

Solar technology is one of those things that has been around for ages but just seems to have a really hard time catching on.

Eclipse Solar Gear is out to change that. They’ve got dozens of products with built in solar “modules” that ultimately let you charge your products on the go. No more worrying about your phone dying when you’re out walking to work for the day…just plug it in to your bag and charge it on the way!

Unfortunately, you need to be able to read Japanese to purchase it. Bummer.

Who doesn’t need a little more green in their lives? These really cool Greenspot Tiles are made by Greenspot and can be combined with regular concrete tiles to allow for patches of green to shine though.

These would be a fantastic addition to any big plot of boring concrete. One major plus, from a functionality standpoint, is that these help drain water a lot easier…thus keeping water from collecting on your lover plot of gray.

No word yet on when they’ll be available or how much they’ll cost.
