Glass house has its pluses and minuses

Glass concept home.  Designed by Santambrogiomilano.

This home constructed from “extraclear” glass is a very modern beautiful residence that would make me feel relaxed and worried at the same time.  On one hand a completely transparent home can provide for a great viewing of the night’s starry sky; on the other, I would constantly be worried about breaking a piece of glass that could potentially shatter the entire structure into pieces.  Any way you look at it, this is one fine design by architectural group, Santambrogiomilano.

That’s right, you’re drinking “milk”

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.

Concept: The cup that knows what you’re drinking

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?
