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.

The threat of terrorism is omnipresent these days and no place in the world is really safe from an explosion or an attack from extremist forces. Designers from Renew Solution have come up with a very unique concept for the streets of London that can be adopted to every street across the planet. The Bombproof Bins that the designers of proposing will absorb the impact of blasts and will not really cause any damage to surrounding environment.

The bins will be made of material that will absorb all impact in case of an explosion and considering the number of times trash cans are indeed the targets of terrorist attacks worldwide; this seems a pretty good option. Police will also have hundreds of fewer places to deal with and time on hand to check at other important spots. Moreover, these hi-tech bins will display the latest bulletin on their flash LCD screens fitted on their side.

Not only will the Bombproof Bins help security and recycling concerns, they simple look too stylish to ignore. Each one of these will cost $ 50,000 and that is not much when you consider the number of lives these could save!

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)

The other aspect of this space-conscious design is that the tables have their legs going upwards. Hanging wooden planks make for the desks and this gives you more leg space underneath your office table. (The possibilities with more space under the table are endless… Bill Clinton inspired, I guess). All in all, the design is both innovative and very unique. It offers simple solution to many problems that show up in modern offices. But if your office is inside some high building in upper Manhattan, then digging such office-bunkers is pretty much not an option!

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.

It works like this: The silicon cells rooted on its glass surface accumulates the solar energy and then very efficiently converts it into electricity. It is efficient to harness over 17 kilowatts of solar energy every year.

This amount of energy is suffice to charge your mobile phone almost 300 times and laptop by 200 times. It would surely achieve its deserving visibility in the coming years to come via its contributing share to green drive.
