    Hands

    An absolutely stunning clock design by SanderMulder. It reorganises the three hands (seconds, minutes, hours) so that they do not share a common axis. The video is well worth a look, to appreciate its sculptural effect. Only 20 will be made, it seems. (via)

    Plates

    What a nice idea. (via)

    Power

    How many times have we gazed admiringly at a great piece of mains-powered industrial design, only to find the ubiquitous and ugly UK plug on the end of it? US and continental consumers take for granted their compact and elegant version, avoiding unsightly bulges in their laptop bags.

    Min-Kyu Choi has designed a three-pin plug which can be folded flat for travel. Thank you - about time. (via)
