Glass Of Milk LED Night Light. Designed by Andrew Liszewski.
Liszewski created these white LED-infused acrylic drinking glasses to serve not only as cups but also as night lights. The way I see it, he’s got it all wrong. The real purpose of these glasses is to camouflage with “milk” that alcoholic beverage you are forced to sneak around the house.
Imagine a world in which you can drink as much alcohol as you like without getting out-of-control drunk and without worrying about feeling hungover the next morning. A new synthetic alcohol is being developed by a research team at Imperial College London, led by Professor David Nutt. The alcohol, which is being developed from chemicals found in Valium, serves the same function as today’s alcohol (induces relaxation, well-being, etc.) except that it has NO affect on other parts of the brain, thus eliminating potentially dangerous side effects such as mood swings and addiction. In addition, the researchers claim that a simple antidote can quickly flush out your system, removing the possibility of feeling hungover.
You can drink as much alcohol as you want. You reach a pleasant state of drunkenness. You can drink as much as you want and you will never leave this state. Now it’s time to drive home; pop a pill and you’re sober as a bird. Sounds great, right? According to the researchers, since the substance is tasteless and colorless, it can replace the alcohol content in beer, wine, and other alcoholic drinks without issue. So why isn’t this in place right now? Unfortunately Professor Nutt has been unsuccessful in finding a test country to market his discovery and he does not have the financial backing to move forward in the process. Also, since the liquor industry has shown little interest in change, this all places the substance on death watch. What a damn shame.
Cipher Drinking Glass. Designed by Damjan Stankovic.
While these drinking glasses appear to be decorated with many tiny colorful squares, their function goes far beyond looks. When liquid is added to the glass, it can decipher (get it?) what you are drinking. For example, if you pour in some OJ, the side of the glass will read “orange” or if you pour in some Coke it’ll read “coca cola.” Don’t ask me how it works because I don’t know. Hell, it’s just a concept. But one can dream, right?

A convex logo substitutes colorfully sprayed can. Naked can help to reduce air and water pollution occurred in its coloring process. It also reduces energy and effort to separate toxic color paint from aluminum in recycling process. Huge amount of energy and paint required to manufacture colored cans will be saved. Instead of toxic paint, manufacturers process aluminum with a pressing machine that indicates brand identity on surface.
The Vera Electric Kettle by Casa Bugatti. These snazzy looking kettles from the future feature a screen on its arm that shows you the temperature (between 113 and 212°F) of the desired liquid, a clock, and a timer. Look for it on shelves later this month with a price of $300. It is Bugatti, afterall. See one extra shot of it in the gallery below.
