I like the Le Corbusier glasses. May have to hunt the site down to see the suffragette one. Sounds... interesting.

Et voila! The Toy Factory's vocational range.

url=http://www.dezeen.com/2009/11/10/sleepb ... rch-group/]Sleepbox[/url] has been developed by Arch Group (a number of russian architects). The idea is that you can have a quick nap in busy urban environments in one of these devices thus eliminating the need for booking a hotel and what not. I wonder how long it would be before the units get used for 'clandestine affairs'.

Very Hungry by Mimijumi. A baby bottle that is designed to look like a womans breast. Hum. I am not really sure how successful they have been there . . . what do you think?

WTF! They must have some sort of freaky nipple fetish amongst that design team to pass that.

I like those. Hmmm, xmas is coming around the corner. I could only use it for personal usage though as my credibility would get ripped to shreds by the kids but still....

They look so cool, but I can see them wearing huge holes in my pocket pretty quickly. Bonus points if they're compatible with actualy lego sets though. In fact, why store money in them? You could just use them as a sort of lego travel case for kids (of all ages).
