Scented Time

 

Scented time is a clock based on the smell

Watches ignore our subjectivity and coldly mark time.

Each scented candle lasts twenty minutes and has a different scent, and before dying it gives its flame to the one that follows. Arranging the candles according to their scent and lighting the first one, we can decide, as in a ritual, when our time starts, imagine how long it lasts and be surprised by its end, all through the scents that mark the stages. In this way it’s possible to know how much time has passed by the scent in the room.

Smell is the most ancestral of our senses; smells are linked to our memories and the emotions that come withthem; to smell means to relive an emotion.

Spiral-cut fried whole potato: Korean junk-food

Tornado Potatoes — new street-food from South Korea. It’s a spiral-cut potato, deep fried and dusted with tangy cheezy powder. Yes, it’s unhealthy, but the Koreans have a long way to go if they’re going to bridge the US-Korean junk-food gap — hello, deep-fried Coca-Cola! Get that potato some whipped mayo and maybe some rat-poison (or plutonium) and we’ll be in business. Link (via Neatorama)via: http://boingboing.net/ 

Space Invaders Doormat

Fresh from French designers La Tête Au Cube comes this hi-tech doormat which does many things to a person’s crib.
For starters, it says “Beware Of The Nerd” in a fairly charming way.
It will show you to your door no matter how many Flaming Sambucas/microdots/spliffs you’ve had the (mis)fortune to consume on your travels.
Door(mat) tax is €85 and you’ll need a couple of AA batteries to make the little green men strutt their spacey stuff outside your door. – Ad Dugdale

Abarth configurator

“The legendary Abarth “Scorpion” returns
A great project will be launched at the 77th Geneva International Motor Show: the rebirth of one of the most prestigious brands in world motorsports. Its symbol is a scorpion, and its name is Abarth.
Abarth has always been synonymous with assertive cars, competitiveness, passion and excitement, and it now returns with a new range that will appeal to all lovers of motorsports. Abarth’s first interpretation of the Grande Punto will be on the “catwalk” at the Geneva Show, the first step in an initiative which will later involve other models.

These are the two souls of the Abarth world: racing and standard production.
Visitors to the Geneva Show will also have an opportunity to discover a third field in which the brand operates; a multimedia configurator will illustrate the whole concept of the ‘Abarth Kit’, and the flexibility and wide range of combinations that the brand will offer customers in its conversion kit”
