Frog Design’s facemask is a great alternative to cosmetic surgery in future. ‘frogConcept: A Digital Escape” is the concept for a more polluted earth. This facemask is designed to enable an individual to live with the mess that humanity would have inflicted. Trying to cope with the various ailments that would surely afflict earth, technology has to be at the forefront, but to escape from such realities too it would help. frogConcept is an alternative skin, playing host to a host of computing systems. It is a virtual layer to “re-skin” the world outside.

The device would enable the wearer to perceive the world as he wants it to be. Within this mask, smells, sounds, even air quality would be controlled to create a virtual experience. It would be a diversion from normal physical interaction that humans crave so much. Even so, the facial expressions from behind the mask would be projected in form of avatars that’d be visible to others. A gateway to impersonal robotic appearance, frogConcept is something very much possible in the days of future.

The armrest storage consists of a large middle pocket, two sloped gear pockets, four end mesh pockets and an inset drink pocket. The foam fly patch is conveniently detachable. The fully padded seat makes it a comfortable seat and conforms to the body contours. Also, no matter what the length of your legs are, the footrests adjust to them fine.

What’s better, the pontoons have abrasion-resistant PVC bottoms and tough nylon tops, making it wonderfully durable. The heavy-duty steel oar locks and sturdy three-piece 6′ aluminum oars are the best anybody can ask for.

The Pontoon has a capacity of as much as 350 lb. and are perfect for river rafting. The designers have also thrown in a spacious top pocket, two bottom rod/oar pockets, rear elastic cord gear attachment system and dual side rod or rod-case holders. And carrying around the backpack isn’t a struggle, thanks to a fully padded lumbar rest, adjustable shoulder straps and hip belt. The Backpack Inflatable Pontoon Boat carries a modest price tag of $237.54.

Illusory is the closest that one could get to describing Five by Anna Bullus. This one is ‘optical’ furniture: designed to create optical illusion whilst being functional. Five is a set of four stools that can be placed in various configurations to create a larger stool. Each one of these stools is designed to function independently as a small seating or side table. Bring these together, however, and you have a much larger fifth stool at hand. Pleasure to behold and fun to play with, Five is an ingenious creation. The designer makes these to order and any interested user can visit her site for more info.

Right! If this is what our cars and bikes are gonna look like in the future, I definitely think I’ll be better off taking the bus or walking on my own two feet for sure. I mean I do give Andrew Leinonen full points for innovating on the Segway, but the Gemini Personal Transportation System sure looks more like what they might use in prisons to torture troublesome inmates than what I’d like to drive around town in. I’m impressed with how the designer used gyro sensors in tandem with an electric motor to stabilize the bulky structure on two wheels, but this thing looks way too crampy since I’m guessing its supposed to shut up around you like a body armor which again seems very cool in theory but might not be practicable in real life when you just want to stretch your legs and relax a little bit after a whole day spent at the office!

Minimalist designs always seem a bit devoid of that zing. But Missing Chair is one piece of furniture that’ll leave you astounded, and then some more. The Missing Chair plays around with the basic form of a chair and delivers eccentricity. Actually Missing Chair is a misnomer in that it actually is Missing Chairs, being a collection of seven chairs. Each of these seven chairs is different from the others; maybe subtly so. Also they can be arranged to form different angular compositions, even a bench. Conceived from an idea that a solitary chair rarely exists alone but is always a part of collection of chairs, the Missing Chair is a bit of individuality that living rooms in general lack. Each chair measures 47×47cm and h.77cm. They are lacquered and tubular and the sitting plates are interchangeable with felt option. Together the Missing Chairs promise to create an optical illusion around your table. The Missing Chairs is an effort by Nobody&Co.

Whatever your take on the tech-loaded daily planners, a whiteboard holds a distinct charm and utility when it comes to leaving little reminders for self or others. It is hassle-free, cheap and quick. TaskWatch is an improvement on the traditional whiteboard in that it has an analog clock put in the center to add time dimension to the daily reminder notes. Designed by the Russian studio Art. Lebedev, TaskWatch is a simple write-on/wipe-off panel that stands in at 90 × 60 cm (36″ x 24″). This entire area can be used for writing stuff. The panel is mounted on the wall and standard markers in various colors can be used to write messages across the relevant hour. TaskWatch comes in two versions: one for home use and the other for use in an office. While the former has a complete round analog clock, the latter has got the standard 9-to-6 figures. Time management and communication gets quite easy with TaskWatch around. The only hitch that remains is its price. Priced at $202.70, it is quite expensive than a normal whiteboard and a clock put together. But on the flip side, it does come around with marker racks, marker, magnets, and cleaner.

But a lot of the times people find themselves getting bored of designs that remain rather monotonous installation onwards and offer the users no room for alterations and variation. Which is why these Parenthetical Shelves are just so astonishing. Mounted on a set of rails, the shelves can be moved around to create stunning combinations of open-ended and box-type shelves.
