Andrea Manzati is the creator of the space travel series that was created for Fast Company magazine and was displayed as a full page illustration. I can see why it got a full page just look at the detail and concept of future ideas of spaceships.

Their is something to be said about fashion and technology that works and provides style at the same time. The folks at Art Lebedev are people who care and they come up with the craziest and best ideas, the Bulavkus USB flash drive. An interesting mix between design, tech and fashion, the Bulavkus is a simple safety pin with a flash drive on it.  It spares you from digging through your pockets but it looks like something that can get lost very easily, but I still want one. It's such a simply design it's almost stupid.  Check out more ideas from Art Lebedev here.

Boxetti is a concealed, fold-down wall bed concept. Here is what the website had to say:

"Boxetti Private contains the set of basic bedroom functions –a double bed, night stand and a wardrobe. The foldaway bed platform is automatically lifted by a remote control, together with a built-in night stand. The unit is equipped with a spotlight and an ambience lighting fixture above the headboard. The integrated wardrobe consists of six sections including shelves, drawers and a clothes rail. "

Emilie Griottes has created these very interesting Pantone Swatch Tarts. In this series the colors are so vibrant and perfectly handmade that you would have thought Pantone put out a new advertisement, but nope just her awesome idea.  I think if I could eat one for real I would go for the Pantone 7492 C which looks like cucumbers on a tart.
