Design of the Day: Plane hangers
Do you sometimes feel the numerous coats and jackets adorning your hall would be better kept in their own air hanger? Well perhaps this stunning piece of design is for you.
Created by Kolja Clemens of Germany’s MOM, The Wardrobe Tempelhof is a tribute to Berlin’s famous Templehof airport which recently closed.

Weird & Wonderful: iPhone app fridge magnets
We’ve all met an iPhone bore – asking whoever they meet what new apps they’ve got, and then (unimpressed) smugly handing over their shiny little device for a peak at the latest ‘awesome’ app that you that will change your life forever.
Well, here’s a few apps I’m sure they won’t have seen. From Jailbreak Toys come the iPhone app magnets. Pointlessly brilliant. Now you can have hours of fun making your fridge look like the world’s biggest iphone.

Ad’s Clever: A birthday message from Viagra
The Viagra account must be a creative’s dream to work on. For once the creative department can harness their day-to-day innuendo and general vulgarity and present it to the client. So it’s with an air of jealousy that I present Taxi Canada’s work to celebrate the 11th birthday of Viagra.

Design of the Day: Vespa chairs
It’s well documented that Italians know a thing or two about stylish design. So too is their love of motor sports and voluptuous curves. So perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a combination of both works so beautifully. Although, the fact that these stunning office chairs are the work of a Spanish design studio (bel&bel) might put a spanner in the works of that particular argument.
The only design suggestion I’d make would be the addition of working indicators – to let your colleagues know when a fresh cup of tea was required, of course.

Weird & Wonderful: Lego Star Wars Foosball Table
One of the many wonders of this Internet age in which we live, is the staggering availability of Lego-inspired creativity. Decades on, and the Lego mantra still holds true – you are only limited by your imagination. Case in point being this Lego Star Wars Foosball table created by an Austrian Lego fanatic. Using only Lego parts, it’s not just a great addition to any Lego geek’s home, it’s also fully functional for Foosball fans. Mind you, not sure how long a game would take – a square ball is difficult to pass!

Best in Build: The Puma shoe box F1 car
Are you one of those people that can’t throw away your old shoe boxes? I know I am. The thought being, that you never know when they’ll come in handy. Well, finally someone has added gravity to that argument. Congratulations then, to British creative team the Wilson brothers, for their creation to mark the opening of the new North State street store in Chicago. Finally, a ‘boxy’ car to turn heads.

Weird & Wonderful: Crayola rocket launch
Perhaps Ad agency Fallon missed a trick when they were promoting the Sony Bravia. Thousands of coloured bouncing balls? Great. Exploding paint in a Glagsow high-rise? Pretty cool. But did they think of rockets disguised as Crayons? John Coker did. Don’t ask me why.

Flickr of Genius: Art on the fly
Before I say anything, I can assure you that no flies were hurt during the making of this.
They were already dead.
Created by Magnus Muhr, these doodles make sure that the relatively short life of a fly was not in vain. Well, it’s more humane antidote to boredom than attacking them on a hot summer’s day with a magnifying glass.

Weird & Wonderful: The Lego pistol
For regular readers of Chad’s Eye View, you’ll have noticed anything Lego tends to get my attention. So when I saw this Lego replica 1858 Remington .45 gun, made by self-confessed ‘Lego geek’ Arkov, I was rather excited. Of course, one should point out – guns are bad. Except this one.

Type Positive: The facial hair font
It might be a little late for Movember, but I think I’ve found the font for next year’s campaign. Tim Yarzhombeck has rather imaginatively created a whole alphabet of bearded men in his own inimitable style. Who knows, It might also double as a style guide when Movember 2010 roles around?
