Design A Day: Sponge Chair

There really isn't much of an explanation beyond what the design is. Sponges can be soft and comfortable. Why not make it into a chair? Also, it would absorb anything that got spilled on it, which might not be such a bad thing. This is the 25th of at least 50 sponge ideas.

Design A Day: Hanging Lamp

This lamp can be put out with the clothes on a sunny day, then brought in at night to provide light inside the house. It might also be hanged out on a porch or apartment deck.

Design A Day: Wine Storage



This concept is a wine and bread/cracker (maybe even cheese) storage unit that is in the shape of the cross. There's also space for Reidel glasses in the top. There's not much more too it than that, other than the religious references. This idea was one in a series of ideas while designing a refrigerator for a class project. It wasn't usable for the class, but works great here.

This Design A Day series is started by Robert as sort of design calisthenics.

More Good, Not Less Bad
