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.

ferm LIVING has some really cool new products available in the Ferm Shop.

Some of my favorite items are their wall stickers with subject matter ranging from underwater to trees to the 70’s and more!

They also have wallpaper and other small home decor items.

Also be sure to check out blik for other wallpaper stickers.

Felix de Pass has skipped the traditional idea of having a lamp hold the lightbulb and just gone straight to connecting the light to the outlet (via a moldable power cable) with his PlugLight fixture.

What’s even cooler here is that the light filament in the bulb is a flower. So what you end up with is a little electric flower growing out of your wall.

How sweet.
