Need to remind yourself of something but don’t want to write it on your hand? Why not wear a Post-it note watch! Doriane Favre designed these watch-shaped sticky notes that you can wear all day so you never forget about that important meeting or to pick up milk on the way home.

Calici Caratteriali is a series of experimental wine glasses that Gumdesign created for the Abitami show during the Macef home show in Milan this month. These are some seriously cool wine glasses. I particularly like the one with the spout.
Steel Stool is a minimalist prototype created by London- and Avignon-based Noon Studio. The studio was created by two designers, Gautier Pelegrin and Vincent Taïani, about five years ago
Materially speaking, Steel Stool is as simple as it looks. The wooden Y-frame is supported by a thing sheet of steel, and measures a cube of 350×350x350mm. The stools can be assembled together to create an interestingly modular storage system. There is also a handle cutout on one end of the Y-frame.
I mainly love this piece due to its stark simplicity and contrasting use of materials. The industrially worn steel is perfectly juxtaposed alongside the smoothness of the oak. Put together as a bookshelf, the materials are even more defined and contrasting.

Mutewatch is a Swedish company based in Stockholm who have designed a simple, intuitive watch that, at first glance, doesn’t even look like a watch at all.
The sleek, plain bracelet-like design doesn’t function until you tap the flat surface. An LED touchscreen will then light up and you can swipe through its different functions: clock, alarm, and timer. Easily set the time by tapping the digits. In addition, it has a motion sensor to adjust its vibration to your movement.
Known for a range of tools that digitize freehand drawings, wacom has designed the ‘inkling‘,
a wireless pen and receiver set that tracks one’s penstrokes, enabling the immediate upload
and editing of drawings on a computer.
users can store up to 50 independent projects at one time on the device. penstrokes are recorded
as long as there is a line of sight between the ‘inkling’ pen and receiver, a button on the latter of which
enables the creation of new layers in a design that are then accessible for editing in photoshop, illustrator,
and autodesk sketchbook pro.
during use the receiver can clip to the edge of paper or sketchbooks. images are uploaded via USB to computers,
where users can edit, add, or delete layers and convert to a range of file formats using wacom’s sketch manager software.
the device records pressure to 1024 levels of sensitivity. while the nibs are interchangeable,
they are at present planned to be exclusively standard ballpoints.
available in mid-september, the wacom ‘inkling’ retails for 199 USD.
