AZ Island - The Floating World
ambitious futuristic project: AZ Island. This titanic project for a high-tech, artificial island capable of movement was thought up by architect Jean-Philippe Zopponi. In 1981, he had already imagined “Isula”, a luxury floating city.It will measure 400 metres long by 300 metres wide and be able to welcome up to 10,000 passengers. The ovoid island’s shape and size - 29 floors high and a surface area equivalent to 4 football fields - will necessarily limit its speed (4 times slower than a cruise ship). Obviously, the island will be too large to berth. A boat or helicopter will therefore be needed to access its cabin; for this reason, a landing pad and marina have been planned. AZ Island should also be able to withstand 20-metre-high waves, as well as hurricanes. [Tinsiders]
Time Light projection clock
The necessity to have a device that can wake you up is obvious, yet at present nobody wants to possess a simple traditional alarm clock. At least people want it to be original and perform more than a single function. That's probably the reason why Oregon Company's new gadget is so multifunctional and unusual. The given concept was named Scientific Time Light Projection Clock. In addition to its main function, it adds a twist of colour to weather forecasting.
Pen-shaped wireless mouse
There is no need to explain the importance of a mouse as a controlling device for any PC user. It's hard to imagine that there may be an alternative to this well-known device that we've got accustomed to. Yet, it's not the fact that the traditional shape of the mouse is the most convenient and efficient one. Thus, some designers think that there is a possibility to change the way mouse looks.

The Salt Chair
"The compact footprint of the Salt Chair makes it a smart choice for cafes or any location where you want to seat as many people as possible around a table or in a defined space. Unlike chairs that have widely splayed legs, Salt chairs can be placed next to each other without wasting a lot of space in between. This Shaker-style chair is a timeless classic, and its lack of ornament and unnecessary excess makes it befitting of the modern aesthetic. It is finished in a water-based opaque paint that really makes the Chair's profile pop."
