Some cool stuff I found on the net...

CIRCLE GRASS GARDEN
Carrying on the Japanese obsession with greening the living space, this large circle comes with everything you need to grow your own lawn. The circle contains a tray in which you place the high-tech growing medium, made up tiny sponge balls impregnated with nutrients. Sprinkle the prairie grass seed on top, water and wait. After about a week the grass will sprout and start to grow. Keep it trimmed or let it grow wild, it's your choice! it will last for 4-5 months, after which time you can buy a refill kit and start all over again. So much greener than cut flowers!

Phonofone II
Through passive amplification alone, These unique pieces instantly transform any personal music player + earbuds into a sculptural audio console. Without the use of external power or batteries, the Phonofone inventively exploits the virtues of horn acoustics to boost the audio output of standard earphones to up to 55 decibles* (or roughly the maximum volume of laptop speakers) Upon connecting active earphones to the Phonofone their trebly buzzing is instantly and profoundly transformed into a warm, rich and resonant sound.

Park Planters
Drawing inspiration from the bonsai, park planters were created to elevate the common household plant to the status of full grown tree. The potted plant becomes the backdrop for an urban park scene. Ranging from dog walkers to flashers and muggers, no two scenes are alike ensuring the autonomy of each piece.

Hunting Trap Cuff
Milan designer Georgo Phillip Pecenikov--a.k.a. Gogo--comes from a family of traditional high-end jewelry artisans, but uses his knowledge to create edgy statements that evoke a wink under the label Toy Me. Each piece is hand cast in silver and plated with rhodium (the priciest and most reflective of the precious metals). Here Gogo grabs attention instead of flesh with a Hunting Trap that is articulated. Sized to be worn at the wrist by a man, or as an arm-cuff by a woman.
