Apogee Chair - an incredible piece of work by an Israeli designer Miran Nudell.
A mark over the conventional chair, Apogee Chair developed in pine wood with polyurethane rubber at the link points maximizes flexibility of the chair and hence user comfort. As users generally don’t sit in one particular posture in a chair for long periods of time and move about a lot, the chair too assists in their movement.

A Thousand-star hotel in Bavaria, Germany.

I have been 5 star hotels, seen 7 stars even, but a thousand star hotel ???; that’s exactly what Monika Fritz and Otto Funck’s “Ein Bett im Kornfeld” i.e., “A Bed in a Cornfield” in Bavaria, Germany Hotel is hailed as.

Image Ref.: www.badkissingen.de

“A Bed in a cornfield "and" The Maze in the cornfield " as you would have guessed by now, is a one of its kind open air hotel in Germany. Sleeping on straw with the starry sky as the roof feels like a truly magical experience to me (of course not for someone who has hay fever …[ ;) ]….). This thousand star hotel or should I call it a zillion star hotel has a series of tents as rooms (7 Euros per night for adults and 3 Euros for kids) set in a corn field with a circus tent as a reception; quite an excuse for a nice summer escape from the city, don’t you think and romantic too. It also sports a clay spa, potato massage centre, a maze for kids, a dining area and a praying area (ah that I need .…praying - please no random summer showers pleaseeeee …..ehhehee….). Anyways, in addition to this they have evening film festivals and barbecue days on the offering too. Great Service Design !!! I guess India has potential for these kinds of services along with an additional offering of milking a cow in the morning as well !!! … lol … .whatcha think?

Snip Snip Snip with your fingers; I mean with Finger Scissors…..

Image Ref. : www.gizmodo.com

Yep, that’s one of the coolest concept I have come across lately. Conceptualised by an Israeli based Industrial designer Effrat Gommeh (www.gommeh.com), the Finger Scissors concept is a novel cutting tool and hell yeah its cute too.
Do away with the suffering caused by traditional scissors, slip the Finger Scissors on your index and middle finger and snip away as if your fingers were the scissors itself.
