SMART STUFF #1, VOLUME 3. JANUARY 2007 |..1..2..3..4![]() Smart Stuff in fokus. Yesterday the story on smart inventions we had helped them put together appeared in Fokus, the Swedish weekly current affairs magazine. Fokus picked five of the smart products we've posted; the O'Tom tick twister, the smart ice bottle we bought at Mats Theselius' shop, the wine cooling rod from Leopold, Marie-Louise Janssons' safety handle for kid's bikes and the smart Coolskin oven gloves. In the end, though, the Fokus people proved to be unexpectedly miserly on giving credit, so we're not too happy with them at this point. 20 January 2007 ![]() Order the smart Coolskin oven gloves from us! The smart Nomex Coolskin oven glove is one of our favorites, and soon we'll be able to offer them for sale here on Smart Stuff. The first shipment will not be all that large, so if you want to be sure to get your hands on a pair, we recommend you to order on this page. The page also offers a lot more information on the Coolskin gloves and instructions how to pick the right size. 20 January 2007 ![]() And the winner is... Thanks to all who have participated by voting in the Smart Stuff Readers Choice 2006. And congratulations to Inchworm whose expandable kid's shoes won the Award for 2006. Runner-up was the smart Japanese toilet with the integrated wash basin. And we must not forget the four readers who each have have won four sets of the smart Button Clips button savers. Congratulations also to Åsa O., Thomas C., Agne Z. and Gary C. All the winners have been notified via e-mail and as soon as we have their regular mail addresses we'll send their prizes! 18 January 2006 ![]() Corner fridge offers loads of space with small footprint. We wish we had known of this fridge when we did the kitchen. That had saved us a lot of space problems. This corner refrigerator from Norcool (in English) will accommodate no less than 1,200 liters (about as much as 3 or 4 ordinary refrigerators) and only takes a little more floor space (Compare the outline of the corner fridge (black solid line) and an ordinary 60x60 cm fridge (red solid line). Placing the fridge in a corner gives lots of extra space and, as a bonus, plenty of room for the required ventilation. The only draw-back is that there is no version with a fridge/freezer combo. That would have been the optimal solution. Who's going to be the first with a combo like that? [Via] 15 January 2006 ![]() Rocking chair for serious story reading. It would be great if the man in the picture was the real Hal Taylor and not a model. Hal Taylor is a master carpenter and specializes in rocking chairs. He created the stunning piece in the left picture. He made it because he wanted to read stories to all of his three small children while sitting in the same rocking chair. Truly stunning. [Via] 11 January 2007 ![]() Charger hider to fit under kitchen cabinet. There are many solutions to the problem of hiding all those chargers and cables we need to keep our digital lifestyle running, but here's one we have missed, though. It reminds us a bit of the Swedish Contactboxen, but instead of placing the box on a table or putting it on the wall, you attach it to the bottom of your kitchen cabinet. We think this invention could be extra useful in Sweden, since our kitchen cabinets almost always have one or more power outlets underneath. That way we would not even have to hide the power cable going into the box. Available from Improvements in white, blond wood finish or cherry finish at USD 55:-. 8 January 2007 THIS MONTH HAS MORE PAGES |..1..2..3..4 DEPARTMENTS | APPAREL | APPLIANCES | BAR | BBQ | BICYCLE | CAR | CHILDREN | COMPUTERS/TELECOM | CULTURE | DVD | EDIBLES | ENVIRONMENT | FLASHLIGHTS/TORCHES | FOOTWEAR | GARDEN | HOME | INTERNET | INVENTIONS A-Z | KITCHEN | KITCHEN FURNITURE | LEISURE | LINKS | META | MISC. | MOTOR CYCLES | OUTDOORS | PETS | PERSONAL CARE | PHOTOGRAPHY | READER'S CHOICE | SAFETY AND SECURITY | SERVICES | SMART STUFF aSTORE | SOLAR POWER | SOUND AND MUSIC | SWEDISH | THIRD WORLD | TRAVEL | TOOLS | VIDEO | WATER | WORK TIPS AND TRICKS | APPAREL | BAR AND DRINKS | BICYCLE | CAR AND DRIVING | COMPUTERS | CULTURE AND LEARNING | GARDENING | HOME | INTERNET | KITCHEN AND COOKING | OUTDOORS | PETS | TRAVEL | WORK AND BUSINESS Did you find the information on this site useful?
