Want to play that chess game and don’t know how to play it? The new glass chess conceptual design is sure a God send for you! Each piece of this chess set is contained in a cylinder which turns opaque when removed from the board. The same turns transparent again when they are put back down in one of the squares. This shows that the chess pieces have no value unless one plays with it. So it sure is a pretty sight and a useful tutorial tool as well. So go ahead. Check mate!

UK designer Michael Young’s new conceptual designs for the frequent traveler have only one thing all across it – ‘Convenience’. Suitably titled VOYAGE, it is made of stainless steel and the black ABS passport holder simply has space for all the necessary documents, and also has room for pen and credit cards. The other concept is that of the key-rings, with each key being held separately, so that one can identify them at a glance. Now to address the lost luggage issue, the third travel accessory in this concept is the luggage tag. It signifies smart thinking, with ease of use and elegance, all combined in this stainless steel design. And the black polycarbonate cap screws are securely in place with the metal tube that holds the name and address tag. These three contemporary solutions are sold individually. And the good news is, you will actually be able to buy Voyage, let’s hope Georg Jensen is going to release the voyage series soon.

According to me, remote is the greatest invention that has been created. For a lazy gizmo freak like me the motto is ‘when it can be done an easier way, then why try another way’! With almost every device possible coming with remotes, like TV AC, CD player, this device which is supposed to ease your worries, it gets cumbersome to maintain so many remotes. And almost all the remote look the same, it becomes a tough ask to maneuver between devices. Well before you freak out, help is here, David Chacon has come up with a design for the universal remote which promises to take care of all the worries.
This flash capable device displays everything from channel listings to elaborate menus, and manage the whole house – like turning on the microwave oven or dimming the lights. Also the touch screen is very roomy. The frequencies set is right and if the product company provides the required support, the device can customize graphically the interface for the product.
Though still in the conceptual mode, it might be a while before the same might seem the light of the day. But all said and done, this one device is sure going to be a hit amongst all the Lazy Gizmo Freaks!
