Once I'm getting over the "organic" tag on the YWATER website (how do you make organic water?!?) I'm absolutely getting some bottles just because of their shapes, and the special connectors that transforms them into a construction toy.

the Y bottle, which was designed by Yves Behar comes in 4 flavors, for brain, muscle, bone, and the immune system. (via notcot)

Recommended by oO on Oct 23, 2007

The Roddler by Kid Kustoms, is one of those crazy concepts that could really only be imagined in LA. Created by Jamie Coblentz, Jason Albert and Joe Iacono, The Roddler is equal part custom hot rod and baby stroller.

Kid Kustoms will even create custom fins to match your favorite vintage wheels, be them 50's Buicks, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, pearl paints with pinstripes, and of course, custom leather seats in stingray, ostrich, alligator, cow hide and alcantra...

And if you think that's not crazy enough, the Roddler can be equipped with a DVD player and iPod connection, just in case you thought that it wasn't pimped out enough. With the basic model starting at $2500 USD, I don't even want to know what a totally pimped out model would cost. (via oO's very eclectic)

Why do we prefer bottled water over tap? Tap has an image problem, and The Tap Project in New York is an attempt to solve that.
In some NY restaurant, you could buy tap water in this elegant bottle, with all proceeds going to the UNICEF fund to help children get better access to potable water all around the world.

Created in collaboration between Phaidon and Wallpaper Magazine, the Wallpaper* City Guides are great travel guides for the design conscious. They were announced a few months ago, but they are finally available, and at $8.95 each, I couldn't resist grabbing Barcelona, Bangkok and Tokyo, one for each of the major destinations of my upcoming trip.

While they don't have the glossy pictures, maps and charts of larger travel books from National Geographics or DK, I find that their small size and discreet cover make them perfect guides to have in your pocket while you are visiting a city. I just love the clean layout, with tabs to jump to a given section, like Landmarks, Hotels, 24 Hours, Urban Life, Architour, Shopping and Escapes. There is also a foldout city plan in the front cover, and a city map in the back, and even some blank, lined and squared pages at the end for you own notes and sketches. (via oO's very eclectic)

Features metro maps, station index, zone maps and street index, 42 blank pages, 96 notched pages for your city file, 32 detachable sheets, 12 translucent sticky sheets to trace, and expandable inner pocket.

And of course, the signature elastic band to keep everything closed ans safe. (via oO's very eclectic)

Recommended by oO on Nov 14, 2006

With winter approaching, so is the basic need to sit by the fire, a reflex that is still pretty much hardwired into our brains. I'm lucky enough to have a wood-burning fireplace, but I saw the Java-Log at the coop e few days ago and I was curious to try it.

The Java-Log is made from spent coffee ground and soybean based wax, burns better than wood, doesn't have that chemical smell that most fake firelogs have, and is good for the environment. The production of Java-Log keeps about 4 million tons of coffe grounds from landfills every year, saves trees, and produces less air pollution than burning fire wood.

Recommended by oO on Nov 9, 2006

Here's another displaced object. The Foot-in-the-Door is a rubber stiletto, ready to be used as a doorstop. Available in Dorothy "we're not in kansas anymore" Red, or basic black.

Recommended by oO on Nov 7, 2006

This water is effectively the famous Glenlivet Scotch Whisky, minus the alcohol and other fermented crap that the distiller adds to it. Sort of the equivalent of a non-fat soy no foam decaf latte, but it tastes a whole lot better. (via oO's very eclectic)

Recommended by oO on Nov 5, 2006

NS Design recently announced the WAV Double Bass series, an entry level model based on their fantastic CR series Electric Upright Bass (EUB). While the CR Double Basses were made in the Czech Republic, the WAV are from China, but also feature a much simpler design, with passive rather than active electronics, helping bring the price down to $1195 USD.

I've been playing a CR5M for the last year, a left handed 5 string model with both magnetic and piezo pickup. After changing the stock strings, which sounded a little bit too much like an electric fretless, for a set of Pirastro Flexocor strings, I've been getting a really great acoustic sound.

Recommended by oO on Nov 5, 2006

Inspired by the shape of a traditional lightbulb, the Bulb Cup can be used as a little curio stand, a jar, a glass or a tiny flower vase, according to the icons. Another brilliant and colorful japanese design, this time from Soshi Takita and Tetsu Sumii. (via oO's very eclectic)

Recommended by oO on Nov 5, 2006

Created by Genta and Chie Kanayama of GENTA Design, the Furoshiki bag is inspired by the traditional japanese bag. I love the simplicity of the design, which reminds me of a computer bag I own, also designed in Japan. (via GrassRootModern)

Recommended by oO on Nov 3, 2006

Designed by Fabio Novembre for Capellini, the Org table series reminds me of invading alien lifeforms. Each table has 6 real legs with a steel core covered in rope, and additional flexible appendages made from the rope only. (via CubeMe)

Recommended by oO on Oct 27, 2006

I've had to sell the amplifier I was using with my upright bass, because it only worked on 220v and not 110v, but also because I found that an electric bass amp doesn't cover the lows needed when playing a 5 string acoustic bass.

After some research this seems to be the amplifier that acoustic and electric upright bass musician recommend the most, so here it is, ready to be added to my wishlist.

Recommended by oO on Oct 26, 2006

Why spend close to $300 for a Roomba when RoboMop can do the same job for about $30? A clever lo-tech solution to the floor cleaning robot, RoboMob uses the same technology that's in those crazy ferret stuck to a rolling ball toys.

And I love the "As Seen On TV" styled design of their webpage. (via oO's very eclectic)
