There is something pleasing about the simple, branching structure of this sculptural furnishing. Combining an ancient natural design with some of mankind’s most modern and durable materials, it makes quite a statement.

A sculptural piece that combines the strongest of man-made materials with the natural structural advantages of a tree’s branches. The carbon fiber, steel and Kevlar-reinforced base is virtually indestructible, yet has a misleadingly delicate aesthetic. In gloss or satin finishes, it’s a super chic addition to the modern office.

Even if you aren’t looking to sport the Steampunk look, the Kinekt Design Gear Ring is a striking piece of  ”precision jewelry” in its own right.  Check out the video after the cut.

The patented Gear Ring is made from high quality matte stainless steel. It features micro-precision gears that turn in unison when the outer rims are spun (as can be seen in the video). It is currently available for purchase in sixteen standard US ring sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 & 20.

For sizing, please note that …

I love the cleverness of this design.  Storing the extra sockets and ratchet heads in the handle reduces the need for a bulky external case (which inevitable gets lost) and lets you have several sizes quickly at hand while working on a project.

The ReadyTools series keeps all the components in the handle of the tool and a nifty pull-out tray keeps them organized and tucked safely away until the next time you need them. In regular wrench and socket wrench versions, they’re also a great way to save space or take on the move.

I do love things with multiple uses, and bonus points for things that turn into other things.

In the modern world, the average working person sits almost 10 hours per day! It seems a bit unnatural doesn’t it? It’s no wonder that the latest trend in furniture is seating that aims to work your body while you’re at work. The Jopple is one example that forces the user to maintain balance while seated so they maintain a tight core.

The design’s cushions also fold out to form a workout pad where the user can do crunches or stretch. If only …

Admittedly, I’m not sure how popular cycling will be once the (inevitable) Zombie Apocalypse arrives, but this is one Russian cyclist who will be prepared.

Motorists won’t mess with you. Pedestrians won’t step in front of you. It looks like the chainsaw on this Russian rig spins the front wheel so you won’t even have to do much pedaling. I suppose the designer could have taken the chain off the chainsaw and still used the engine, but that would have taken a lot of the danger/fun out of it.

From Chinese astronomers, to Medieval monks to Arabic scholars, humans have always known the world is changing around them and by studying those changes they might be able to understand and predict how best to weather (literally, in this case) those changes. Glad to see that scholastic tradition continue, particularly in an age of denial and outright lies.

When it comes to producing definitive proof of climate change, one limitation is the lack of data about past weather conditions. In a newly published study in the journal Weather, Spanish scientists turned to an unexpected source for help- …

Mystech:  This may, in fact, be the loveliest iron I have ever seen in my life.

The 360 Iron is the result of an exploration into the evolution of the common iron and a representation of key improvements made to an appliance that has otherwise experienced minimal change over the years. The design revolves around a flexible, ergonomic joint that transfers twisting of the wrist to the iron itself thereby reducing hand-strain. A touch-screen display replaces complex dials and buttons adding to its intuitiveness and overall easy of use.
