Habitual things, unusual functionality

Often it seems that designers reinvent the wheel. But this is the main thing - you can not completely exhaust the potential. There is always a bright head, offering a new look at familiar things.



Under the cut a couple of paragraphs devoted to the concept of foot mats. Why precisely rugs? It would just seem that what else are they suitable for besides their direct purpose? But no. It turns out that on the basis of the rugs, you can implement several interesting devices.

The traditional lyrical digression: a couple of days ago my next Industrial Zone came out, and a part of the material simply did not fit into the final post. Nevertheless, the material is interesting, and I felt sorry for just throwing it out. The people liked my last bookmark devoted to bookmarks , so I decided to continue publishing “not entered”. I hope you enjoy this one too.

Let's start with the obvious: carpet weights .
With our prices per square meter, one will inevitably be interested in multi-functional things.



The tag on the side shows the current weight, the weight of the last weighing and the weight you are aiming for. Fluffy cover removable and erasable. Concept from designer Kwon Sunman.

The second idea: an alarm clock mat .

As you know, when you wake up on an alarm clock, the most difficult thing is to get up. Those. we wave off the bell, turn off the buzzer on the machine and then fall asleep again the sleep of the righteous. Therefore, designers Sofia Colin and Gustav Lanberg (Sofie Collin & Gustav Lanberg) suggest using an alarm clock in the form of a rug for legs. The principle of operation is simple - in order for it to stop beeping, it is necessary to stand on it with both feet. And since we are up, we probably won't fall asleep anymore. At least I want to believe in it.



There you have it, dear. I hope you liked the concepts. For those who are interested in the very first picture with a sandwich, I inform pruflink on the author Rodrigo Piwonka .
