So every once in a while I come across something that doesn’t necessarily look all that cool but is seriously just straight handy.

The Swiss+Tech Utili-Key is just one of those products.

It’s less than 3 inches in length and only weighs half an ounce. Did I mention it has 6 tools included? Everything from a knife to a screwdriver to a bottle opener. This has got to be one of the handiest little gadgets ever.

On top of all that, it’ll barely set you back any change…it’s only $11!

Wait…you want to know what that thing is? Oh yeah. It’s a handheld vacuum cleaner! How cool is that?

Designed by Karim Rashid, this little piece of industrial art will make you want to clean constantly. That, or just look at the tool to do the cleaning.

It’s available here in 6 different colors from white to purple and will run you around $43.

Admit it. You love construction paper. What’s not to love about construction paper? You can draw on it, cut it, and build just about anything.

Well now it is officially a material for making absolutely stunning sculptures.

Artist Jen Stark has created some stunning sculptures using nothing but construction paper. My words really can’t begin to do this stuff justice.

Go check out the full sculpture gallery. Amazing.

These Fuwapica chairs (which means “soft and flashy” in Japanese), are a set of stools designed to change color based on things such as mood and weight.

“Weight?”, you ask? Yes. The colors of the chairs change depending on your weight. Perfect for a social gathering of people who don’t know each other that well where there are most likely some self-conscious people around.

The weight thing aside, it also detects your mood. So say you are your friends are sitting around arguing about who knows what, chances are, the chairs (and the room) will have a nice red tint to it. The perfect way to fuel the fire.

Right now these chairs are in limited production and should you want to get a hold of a set, they’ll run you a cool $3,500.

The new Havaleena Light Bouquet from Tayo Design Studio is a snazzy little way to add some flare to your outdoor picnic or get-together.

A single set will run you around $150.

Picking blueberries with my family as a kid is always a great memory. Squatting for 3 hours to pick said blueberries is the part I like to forget. 🙂

Industrial designer, Kitta Perttula, has designed a fantastic gardening tool to solve the problem of squatting and bending over in the garden.

Her Sasa Saddle Pail is a both a stool and a bucket. Simply sit on the saddle and drop the fruit and veggies you’re picking right in to the bucket! Ingenious!

It runs around $45USD at the Design Forum Shop.
