The RearViz is a wide angle convex moirror designed (in two sizes) to be worn on a cyclist’s wrist (€17) or forearm (€28).
The unit also contains a medical ID tag, for those who favour only the ‘manoeuvre’ part of ‘mirror, signal, manoeuvre’.
Release date unknown as the product page is still under construction.
Instead of a rigid frame, the Aster Papposus Sofa has two identical polyurethane and feather-filled star formations that come together to create the seat, backrest and armrests – allowing ten eight guests to ignore one another sit together simultaneously.
A prototype LED ring watch created by Hungarian designer Guszlav Szilaszai – still in development but currently halfway to goal funding on Indiegogo.
The developers say it’ll be powered by a tiny replaceable rechargeable lithium polymer battery with a three year lifespan.
A solution to the age-old problem of ‘dead arm’ caused by embracing a bedmate. Designed by Mehdi Mojtabavi, the mattress features soft slats into which the elbow (or feet, if you’re a stomach sleeper) can be slotted.
Alternatively, you could just avoid the whole scenario with the Ross Geller Hug ‘n’ Roll technique.

‘storage pouffe’ from Aldi… 30 minutes to complete!!
A meticulously restored Henderson Streamlined concept bike owned and maintained by motorcycle collector Frank Westfall of Syracuse and looking as if transported intact from the golden age of industrial aerodynamics.
The Antique Motorcycle Club Of America sez:
The hallmarks of the era were unbroken curves, teardrop shapes and parallel lines suggesting speed. In addition to cars, trains and other things that actually moved, these design elements showed up in streamlined toasters, streamlined radios and streamlined cigarette lighters. Even the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, finished in 1930 and 1931 respectively, feature sleek, pointed peaks and dominant vertical lines from bottom to top, like great rockets ready to streak into the heavens.
Henderson, which operated for just ten years between 1921 and 1931, was one of the original ‘big three’ US bike manufacturers, along with Harley Davidson and Indian.
