The Bedroom.

OK, we all like to snoop around. Yes, sex does go on here. We can tell that by the vibro-contraceptive futon. It's a totally safe contraceptive method that puts barrier and pill methods to shame. To work, it just needs a bit of information about your body. It gets that from the toilet, as we'll see. Then it vibrates you at one of several very precise frequencies. Simple as that. Feels good, too.

Touring the Home of the Future.

It all seems to happen backward; haphazardly, things get invented, take their place in the product ranges of manufacturers, get advertised, create a buzz, go on sale, reach a retail point near us and capture our imagination -- or don't.

If they do, we capitulate and buy. One day, looking back, we can't believe how we ever lived without, you know, a Bluetooth foam toaster. Before it arrived, there was a Bluetooth-foam toaster-shaped hole in our lives a mile wide! Or maybe, you know, not.

home in the future.

Future Home's mission is serving people with disabilities, their families, and professionals interested in some of today's technological solutions to living with severe disabilities. Demonstrating technology, sharing architectural solutions, and building bridges between the medical and building professionals are just a few of the instruments used to change the way people think individuals with disabilities and our aging population should live. We hope in their homes, and not in a nursing home.

A wild and fun concept for a home where you’re looking to mix up the lighting scheme, designers Helen Evans and Heiko Hansen have developed Light Brix, a modular light system for any space. Activated by touch, Light Brix can be arranged in a number of sequences to create a dynamic atmosphere with soft white light. The images they provided were interestingly arranged on wall surfaces, but I think that Light Brix may have another calling as floor accents in bedrooms or interior walkways and hallways. Imagine lighting a space with a low ceiling with Light Brix by reaching up to turn on a sequence of lighting, or image integrating Light Brix creatively into a children’s room (particularly kids who enjoy interactive toys). Just think about it.

summer.
Tastefully designed by architect Tatiana Bilbao, this exotic beach house is located on the pretty shoreline of Mexico. The structure was built more on the concept of a camp with separate interconnected rooms where you basically, enter one to exit another. Although it looks like a downside, it saves space and when you get to see the amazing outdoor roof pool, it suddenly changes your mind. Excellent to throw a few parties with all your buddies, the Universal House looks like the place we’d like to be this summer.

Stand Up and Eat: Plates for Parties.

Sleek in design and clean in implementation, Argentinean designer Gabriel Contino has devised an amazing plate for eating while standing up. The plate is designed almost like a wide cup to hold in your hand, with a holder for a glass of wine on the front so that you can manipulate your way casually across the party floor without spilling a drop. What is sort of funny about these plates is that (essentially) someone would be able to hold two at a time. Imagine your butler walking around with two plates of hors d’oeuvres and fresh glasses of Beaujolais nouveau! Will you look more debonair with Contino’s plates? Will your dinner party have something everyone can use to break the ice? Will you suddenly be the slickest dinner host in town? Yes, on all counts.
