Doctor Who Gallifreyan Window Blinds: Who’s Behind that Window?

Posted on by

These Gallifreyan-patterned window blinds are perfect for any Time Lord who prefers a home to a traveling blue box. They were made by Kristy GD from the blog Please Excuse My Craftermath. These are perfect if you have a Doctor Who themed room already, and are just looking for that perfect finishing touch.

Even people who don’t like Doctor Who will love the cool abstract design. If you want to make them yourself there is a handy tutorial. It includes downloadable printouts for the stencils needed to make them.

This is a great way to add some geeky decor to your house. It may even catch the attention of a certain time traveler so don’t be surprised if a blue police box shows up.

Billboard Blinds: Adblock Plus, IRL

Posted on by

In a world where ads are constantly being shoved into everyone’s face at any given moment, these Billboard Blinds are a welcome change. It’s a concept for an urban intervention that gives people like you and me a choice on whether or not we want to view ads while waiting for the bus or train or while flagging down a taxi.

Billboard BlindsIf you’re not in the mood to know about the latest show that’s hitting on network TV soon or about newest teeth whitening products in the market, then simply reach out and pull the blinds, and go on your merry way. (Or rather, continue waiting your merry way. You get the picture.) This idea might even make ads more effective for those who are interested in them, thanks to the interaction required to open them and view the ad underneath. That’s got to make the ad a bit more memorable, right?

The cool thing is you don’t need to install any fancy gizmos or gadgets to achieve this end. Regular window blinds will do. Who knew something so simple could make a world of difference?

Billboard Blinds were conceptualized by George Zisiadis.

Spinning Wall of Wind

Posted on by

This unique sunshade, named Poetic Wind, creates a shimmering visual experience with wavelike shadows and light reflections activated by the outdoor breeze. As the wind presses against the panel, thousands of hexagonal pieces spin independently, revealing two different sides of silver and white. The result is a beautiful, unpredictable pattern of light and motion that can turn a bare screen into a captivating accent.
