Foldable Kitchens, Offices and Bedrooms Optimise Tiny Living Spaces
5:15PM Gizmodo US Edition | In case you’re one of those poor souls residing in a room the size of someone’s walk-in closet, here’s a sweet innovation from the Land of Lack-of-Space, Japan. The Kenchikukagu, designed by Toshihiko Suzuki for Atelier OPA, is a series of “rooms” that can be folded and wheeled away for easy storage. The line features a kitchen, a bedroom and an office, and costs about $7,500 per unit on Amazon Japan. Granted, I don’t live in Tokyo, but if my apartment is too small to fit my bed and kitchen in it at the same time, I’d probably just move somewhere else. [Kenchikukagu via Complex] More »

Folding Colander Is Perfect for Flat Noodles
6:20AM Mark Wilson | It took 100 prototypes to figure it out, but someone engineered the folding colander. The colander uses a 12-hinge design to retain its shape for straining and then folds flat to store easily in the always precious real estate of kitchen cabinetry. It’s US$29 and comes in green or white—which are specifically not the baby blue you see in this photo. But that’s probably a good thing*. More »

10:47AM Nick Broughall | Folding bikes aren’t new. Hell, even this folding bike isn’t new. It’s been around for a couple of years, easy.
What is new is the fact that you can now get one in Australia – Tesora is selling the Fold-A-Bike for just $149.
The Fold-A-Bike weighs just 5.5kg and folds down to just 66 x 30 x 15cm. Even better is the fact that you can unfold it in under 10 seconds, making it the near perfect city commuter vehicle. Just imagine the wind flowing through your hair and your suit jacket flapping out behind you while you run over those pesky “walkers” on your way to the train station after a hard day’s work. Makes you want one, doesn’t it?

11:13AM Nick Broughall | The quality of your sunglasses can make or break your social status these days. Just look at Corey Worthington – His bright yellow glasses are now a trademark for being an irresponsible little tool.
If you think that your social positioning could use a little pick me up, these limited edition Ray-ban Wayfarers will do the trick. Not only are they they same design that Tom Cruise made famous in Risky Business (that was before he became a nutjob), but they fold up into a neat little package that you can carry with you in your pocket.
They’ll set you back US$149, but if that’s the cost of social acceptance these days, then it’s an absolute bargain…
