Clever Stuff

I wondered about a thread like this a while ago. If you have seen any clever things recently, maybe you would like to post them. Just like interesting inventions and innovative ideas.

I thought this window that turns into a balcony is a really clever idea.


This curtain is great ...following the current trend for 'faceted' design. As the curtain is gathered it becomes a geometric sculptural form ...sharing a theme with contemporary architecture or even BMW's flame surfacing.


Please post more clever stuff

Re: Clever Stuff

great thread rob.

OneShot is a folding stool. It's also a smart trick: no axle, no screw, no spring or visible hinge. Only by virtue of gravity, a vertical bundle of polyamide rods fluidly unfolds to become a seat. The miracle lies in the technique of Selective Laser Sintering that allows the fabrication in just one shot of the seating surface, the legs and the hidden and integral articulations. OneShot is manufactured in the folded position, which thereby enables the creation of 15 pieces simultaneously in a machine whose size would normally barely contain 2 unfolded ones.

Designer: Patrick Jouin

Re: Clever Stuff

I have a spectacle box that can open 360 degrees and yet stay together, as if it has hinges but you can't see them. It has none actually - it is held together quite intelligently by 3 pieces of cloth that give the illusion that it is pure magic. I don't have a picture though.

Have you guys seen this before? I can take a few pictures if you guys so desire...

Re: Clever Stuff

all very cool stuff in this thread. That chair still confuses me as to how it works but im sure its just the way the pieces are shaped. Hey James thats pretty cool, ya if you have a chance take a picture because its hard for me to visualize what that would look like.

Is this clever stuff you can buy - or just clever stuff ?

It looks like this:



The silver parts are the 'cloths' I'm talking about, and the box can open 360 degrees, unlike a normal box which only open to a certain limit that its hinges allow.
