The iBangle is Gopinath Prasana's evolution of the iPod - imagining a device that is both iPod and jewelry. The iBangle is a thin aluminum bracelet with a multi-touch track pad.

I love Shelley Spicuzza's ReGlow fixture which is made from a hamster ball with holes into which empty plastic bottles are screwed. It not only cuts down on waste, but it looks really good, too.

More Ai Weiwei love (see also post 15524) - a sculpture of China - not sure how it's made - extruded with wood veneer? or carved wood? Either way - beautiful!

Four Korean university students designed the Muwi - an innovative lawn mower that makes mowing the grass fun. As the grass gets cut, the Muwi compresses the cuttings into either a ball or a cylindrical block. Perfect to play with or use to decorate your lawn.

Studio Klink's Villa Peet. What strikes me as unusual about the house is the blank facade, with almost no windows facing the street at all. Images of the interior spaces show it to be super light and transparent, with views to the garden from everywhere in the house.

Ruta Peregrino is a pilgrimage path in Jalisco, Mexico. During Holy Week, 2 million pilgrims walk the path. HHF Architects designed a lookout point there, made out of cast concrete. I love the spiraling pathway, used to create anticipation in the visitor.

Alexis Themistocleous's Caged Message vases are cast in bubble wrap and contain secret messages that are laser-cut into stainless steel. The messages can only be revealed when the vases are smashed.
