Prankster Seating for Your Boring Office!

teetertot_01

It’s easy for office spaces to feel stale and boring. Designed with this in mind, the Teeter and Tot chairs aim to bring a bit of playfulness and laughter into the workplace! At first glance, they look like your average (albeit, cute) stool. When sat on, however, they unexpectedly collapse giving the person sitting down a surprise as they drop down!

The falling sensation will make the average person feel a sudden adrenaline rush, especially if they don’t know what’s about to happen. It will also give everyone else a chuckle as they watch the unsuspecting victim’s reaction! The drop is just enough to keep them from falling completely off and actually makes for a comfy place to hang out once they’re lounging!

One Wonderfully Wobbly Table

table_01

The “Table of Mindfulness” only works if YOU put the finishing touch on it! What do I mean, exactly? Well, it’s uneven 4th leg makes the design wobbly… that is, unless you wedge another object of your choosing to keep it supported.

It could be a favorite book, a childhood stuffed animal, or any other meaningful object. Whatever you choose, it will be visible through the round integrated window on the surface. Each table ends up being different than the next as well as a unique statement about the owner!

Give your clothes a Massage!

Making an app for your washing machine doesn’t make it smart. It should overcome existing design problems before it tries solving problems that were never there. My washing machine, for example, has this agitator (spinning thingy) column in the center that very successfully entangles all my clothes (tearing a few of them). Re-imagining the way clothes are washed, the Xiaoro washing machine has a very unique approach to cleaning your fabric.

The drum is made of silicone that expands to store your clothes. The unique element is the massaging ring that travels upwards and downwards, literally kneading the silicone bag in which your clothes (and water) are stored. Once done, the bag drains out all the water and you have undamaged, fresh cleaned clothes! You have no idea what a miracle this is for bachelors like me!

Designer: George Duan & Boya Zhao
