Industrial designer Abhinav Dapke has design a fun bookshelf to fit in any odd corner space. It’d be a perfect piece of furniture to hold anything from books to your keys and wallet to whatever else can sit on a flat surface.
Unfortunately it would seem this item isn’t in production yet. Hopefully it will be sooner than later.

Lovers of goodies like brownies can usually be divided into two camps…those who love the center and those who love the edges.
I personally am a center lover. Suer there are usually only one or two squares that are nothing but pure goodness in the middle, but for me they are the best.
I’m well aware that there are people who prefer the chewy edges (or crispy in some cases) and the folks at Bakers Edge have made a pan that caters to just those people.
The Bakers Edge Brownie Pan is an ingenious creation that makes sure every brownie has at least 2 sides of edgy goodness. It’s definitely one of those things where you punch your self in the face saying “Why didn’t I think of that?!?”
Rumor has it that they have other similar products in the works for other foods such as lasagna.
A single pan will set you back $34.
Oh snap! This thing is HUGE!
The Aeroscraft ML866, by Aeros, is a modern day “blimp” of sorts.
Aeros aims to reinvent the flying wheel and make air travel much more luxurious (if you so chose). They like to refer to it as a flying yacht…with the pool included.
This jumbo plane/blimp is a tasty 5,382 square feet and has a travel range of 3,100 miles. Unfortunately, its top speed is a snail’s pace 115 mph.
The upside here is that it can land or takeoff from pretty much anywhere. It has a vertical takeoff and landing that is supposedly quite gentle and slow.
Word has it that the first model will be operational by late-September 2007!

Digital clocks, for the most part, have had the same general form factor for years. The all resemble some sort of basic rectangular shape.
The Numbers LED Alarm Clock has changed all of that and spiced things up a bit.
Each “digit” is its own individual block that can be moved, stacked, twisted, or placed however you feel like. It comes with a separate controller for the settings and alarm (including snooze).
It’s due to hit night stands around the world on August 20, 2007 and will set you back ~$150.

If you haven’t already finished your Christmas shopping (what? Christmas is only 5 months away…Target already has Christmas stuff up)…then here is a great gift idea for the designer in your office.
This set of 10 Pantone color mugs is a must have for any designer who collects mugs…errr…or just anybody who likes mugs.

Lauren Moriarty, lighting designer extraordinaire, will be releasing her Solarise lamp next month at the London Design Festival.
The Solarise lamp has a shade has a thermochromic layer of printed skyline that reacts to heat. So once you turn the lamp on, the shade gradually lets more light through, giving the effect of the sun rising.
I would imagine this could be a great way to wake up each morning. Just plug the lamp in to a timer that turns the lamp on at a certain time each day so you are lovingly awaken by the light instead of that blaring alarm.
