Fanimation Fans: The Arden in bronze
I really want to get my hands on one of these, absolutely gorgeous shapes. More of a statement piece than a fan!
Inkling by Wacom
Wacom have unveiled their new Inkling pen which allows you to sketch anything with a Wacom ballpoint pen, create new layers and import as vector images.
It takes standard mini ballpoint refills and fits neatly into your bag.
Awesome! More here.
These Karlsson Table clocks are a neat idea (why not called a book or shelf clock though?)
A pair of very unique pistols
This pair of pistols built in 1820 (1820!..) by the Swiss Rochat brothers, when fired they release a small bird that sings and dances on the end of the pistol.
The mechanics put into these would be difficult today let alone 200 years ago.
Made out of gold, and only 4 other pistols in existence, these are amazing.
Uniform Wares watches
These watches have a beautiful simplicity. They remind me of the beauty of some of the Danish Design watches.
Now if only I could get my hands on these…
Goggle Desk - Babini Office
One of the prettiest desks I’ve seen in a long while.
I really want one!
Red Pop
Red Pop is an attachment for iPhone that brings the speed and enjoyment of a shutter release button to the phone’s camera function. UK design firm Beep Industries is currently developing Red Pop for commercial release, and raising funds for the project on Kickstarter.
We are huge iPhone fans and love the iPhoneography culture that has grown around the product – so much so that, like many others, we’ve stopped carrying our digital cameras with us and now use our iPhones to capture and share photos of our everyday lives as well as big events like birthdays, bake-offs and baby Joe-Joe’s first steps.
However, the experience of using a camera phone isn’t perfect. It feels like something’s missing from the photo taking experience and it’s frustrating that shots are missed when you have to play ‘hunt the fire button’. In our experience, and from what people we have told us, this is a real frustration of taking photos on the otherwise awesome iPhone 4.
So we had an idea – let’s bring the button back! To us, buttons are beautiful, an invitation that screams out ‘c’mon press me’. Red Pop’s design is rooted in the now but with a subtle and respectful nod to the beautiful and iconic cameras of the past.

UPDATE:
In recent light of the new iOS5 this to me seems a little defunct. However, put a power pack in it and it seems worth it again.
The awesome Minox DCC 5.1 is a Leice look-a-like with a difference - it fits cutely in the palm of your hand! Seriously, it’s tiny.
With its longest side only being 7.4cm this little beauty still packs a punch with 5.1 mega-pixel, video capabilities, an attachable flash and lens components.
I WANT ONE!
Designed in fascinating detail and with a sophisticated stylish format the new Digital Classic Camera MINOX DCC 5.1 is a true example of first-class German engineering from the fifties. Devotees of timeless elegance and precision mechanics will find it hard to resist the amazing look and feel of the camera. This small ingenious masterpiece in a scale of 1:3 is no ordinary digital camera and quietly reflects its owner’s confidence in style.
