The in-thing to keep your laptop safe while on move is the standardized thin-padding bag that one assumes rather than is assured of, to keep the expensive gadget safe. If you love your laptop for dear life, you have less to worry about its safety and more to indulge. Odyssey Cases for protecting laptops goes many steps ahead in doing some heavy-duty laptop protection.
The firm offers this watertight, dust-proof, impact-resistant laptop case that comes with a diced foam interior. It is called VU200711HW. Too big to carry to work every day, but can definitely move through airport baggage. Have you not been paranoid about checked-in baggage anytime?
The design is innovative no doubt, but looks bigger than the regular cases one carries for clothes. So you may use this for really heavy-duty purposes while opting for the normal cases on other occasions, unless you are a laptop safety freak.
Its standard interiors include a comfortable carrying handle, pressure release valve and padlock loops. Some models have a pull out handle and loop. Go for it if the bulky look does not intimidate you.

Talk about getting ingenious with both space maximization and storage options! This Jeremy Levine Design gives your office space a clean and orderly look by turning the traditional school of thought upside down. Unlike normal storage spaces which are built into the walls and on the shelves up top, the Jeremy design gives you ample storage space under your feet. A five feet bunker-style space allows you not just to sweep the garbage under the carpet and into a hole, but will surely be a very good underground hideout in case the Bush administration is after you next. (Yes, this is perfect for Bin Laden and his Office Space in the mountains of Afghanistan)

Since ‘40s, Germany-based industrial designer Luigi Colani was engaged in giving a revolutionary meaning to future by offering a curved, streamlined appeal to sedans and trucks, kitchens, spacecraft, furniture, and any sundry thing that he had dreamt of. You may call him a designer, but the title that befits him well is that of a “3-D philosopher,” the one coined by him. Sticking to the concept of round shape of earth and heavenly bodies, Colani wishes to follow Galileo Galilei’s philosophy and declares: “My world is also round.”
And featured above is Luigi Colani himself in his “satellite kitchen,” that was designed in 1969.

Seemingly weird, every appliance in the fully-occupied kitchenette can easily be attained by anyone sitting at the orb’s center.

Colani considers his concepts as no mere proposals, but rather responses to questions that design proposes.
Check out the gallery to know more about Luigi Colani’s futuristic designs.
