This notebook was designed for crowded workspaces!

Are you even a designer if you don’t constantly fight the compulsive need to buy any pretty looking stationery you see, only to give in after a few moments? That got real, didn’t it? Well, I’m fighting the compulsive need to buy myself the Sidekick notebook, designed by the guys at Triangle Notebook.

The Sidekick is quirky, but has logic to it. An A5 notebook looks small on your desk, but open it and it doubles in size, becoming an A4, and occupying precious real estate on your desk. The Sidekick has no such problem. Its unusual shape and diagonal spine allows it to open into an ‘L’ shaped notebook that can easily sit at the corner of your keyboard, or your mousepad, or even tablet. The notebook won’t serve well for sketching, but makes a good note-taking pad, offering both landscape and portrait writing areas. Take notes, make doodles, or probably even sketch on it if you can, the Sidekick is that one notebook you won’t buy and put away only because you’ll love keeping it on your table to occasionally take notes, and to perpetually show off. Oh what the hell, I’m buying myself one…

A Triangular Twist on the Notebook

triangle_01

Not to be obtuse (get it?), but who said paper goods have to be so square?! The Triangle notebook doesn’t do away with the square completely. When you open it, the triangle shape transforms into a perfect square, revealing 144 ruled pages that are perfect for writing, doodling and all sorts of notes!

But what about that crease running from corner to corner? Well, thanks to a specialized binding system, it lays completely flat so the page crease isn’t too obvious or hard to work around. Clad in a durable, fabric hardcover with a crazy amount of different, cool color options, there’s one for every individual taste. Simply put, it’s just a lot more fun. Do you need any more reason than that?!

Triangular Audio

Designed for small dwellings, the Nepsu Triangle is a hi-fi speaker that maximizes home space! By using a room corner, it becomes part of the room without taking any space on counters or in shelves. Even the sound has been design for small spaces with smooth, clear, and rich mids and highs as well as a bass level so that it isn’t overly aggressive. Not just restricted to corners, users can also use it on any surface or switch from room to room. In a variety of vibrant colors and possibilities to either mask it or enhance its aesthetic, there’s one for every user’s unique taste!

Psychedelic Plumber: Mario on ‘Shrooms

I always wondered if any of the fungi in the Mushroom Kingdom were hallucinogenic – especially the ones that turned Mario into a flying raccoon or made him bigger. Well now we have our answer.

In Josh Mirman’s illustration, Psychedelic Plumber, we get a look at Mario the way that he might have looked if we were eating some of the same ‘shrooms that he did. Actually, I always imagined that this is what the world looks like when you eat one of those Mario stars.

The image is comprised of colorful triangles which will definitely drive your eyes wild if you look at them for too long. That said, it would be cool if Nintendo made a Mario game using triangular shapes instead of square pixels.

Definite Exit

The Triangle Optical Gate Design makes it ample clear which side of the gate can be used to pass through and which cannot. The design employs the use of an intuitive triangle edge on the top and the bottom end of the gates and LEDs help to make them more evident. The gates are the kinds you see at subway stations and can intuitively integrate features like barcode scanners, RFID readers etc.
