Dear all,

(FYI: I've been here for a month now applying for a masters program. I've been accepted. Im done. Woohoo!! Now its time for the real fun!...Did I just rhyme?!)
So I apologize in advance for the short interruption of Design Fetish posts. Ill be back with more inspiration soon enough!
Until then...
Cheers!

LightLeafs
LightLeafs is an illuminated OLED bookmark by designer Valentina Trimani that provides just enough light for reading in the dark. The light is as thin as a page in a book and runs wirelessly. The light would be rechargeable with brightness controls to turn it down so that it won’t bother others nearby.
The light is ideal for reading in bed but would also come in handy when reading maps or in the event of a power failure. The form of the light is as minimal as possible, consisting only of a single piece that is easily stored inside your favourite book.

Concrete USB Drive
When you aren’t actually using these elegant solid concrete USB drives from Shu-Chun Hsiao, they make great paperweights! Bonus: the weight of the block is similar to the capacity in terms of grams.

Flowing City
A drop of water turns into a flood on this micro-city coaster. Here, the city of taipei, taiwan is re-sized into a coaster.
Condensation from the cup slowly floods the city. The water first fills up the river and slowly works its way into the narrower streets and alleys. Enjoy the view from above!

Edible Crayons
Got fond childhood memories of gobbling crayons? The edible crayons from Luxirare have flavors based on food colors; e.g. white ones made from melted marshmallow, sesame seeds, and nuts.

Heynsdyk 2500 SF
The Heynsdyk 2500 SF bears a brand you may never have heard of, producing a sports car you may never have seen. Its design is at once classic and contemporary, a fusion of influences from the BMW Z roadster to the Weismann Roadster and the classic racers of the 1940’s and 50’s.
Underneath the hood of the Heynsdyk 2500 SF– this beauty is all Porsche, 944 to be exact. This Heynsdyk is actually a kit car built around the platform of Porsche 944 of the mid-80s.
The best part about picking up a Heynsdyk 2500 SF is its price. The kit alone can be had for roughly $20,000 USD, but you’ll need to get your hands on a healthy Porsche 944 or 944S first.
If you want to pick up a complete Heynsdyk, it’ll cost you around $50,000 USD– still a great price for a car that you’ll never see two of on the road.

Bright Crinkle Cups
You must've all noticed by now the trend of fake paper and plastic cups going ceramic. I personally can't get enough of those. Add to the list these bright crinkled cups. I guess we're moving on from the white to the colorful ceramic now.
