Whilst in Lewis Carroll’s ‘Through the Looking-Glass,’ follow-up to the applauded ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,’ Alice only worry was to identify what’s on the flipside of mirror and thus continues her search for the same. Following the similar heights of curiosity, designer Yasmin Sethi has taken us to an extreme where there is no end to our speculation of the fact what made Sethi come out with such a delicate and revolutionary creation of a Chess Set. The transparent chess set is devised to enrich your playing experience with a possibility that it may be the shock of the life for scholars in this field i.e. David Blaine and Chris Angel.

Whilst months back the evolution of interaction table marked a new revolution with little knowledge that soon it would have to face competition with Interactive Scape, a 58-inch touch surface. The latter one is a replica of the Microsoft Surface table that created much of a buzz but is not available for sale until now. But that doesn’t mean that the existence of interactive products is only till news and doesn’t meet reality. Microsoft TouchWall retailed at $100,000 inked a neat deal at Neimann Marcus. It is a clear indication of the fact that there is no restraint to the production of interactive surface and filthy-rich tech-lovers as well.

Similar to Microsoft offerings’, Interactive Scape allows you to compute touchscreen-style by stirring things around its 1080p touchscreen with your fingers and it is also capable of transferring data to and from cell phones via Bluetooth. A glimpse at the table would make you realize its screaming beauty with its Corian surface slapped with various shades. The German makers behind it are demure about its cost, but the pricey factor attached to it is an indicator that it will first feature at retail point-of-sale applications. Well, the growing technology impact and production of products that stands beyond our imagination claims that Gen X would be using these touch-screen interactive forms on daily basis.

If it fails to convince you then free feel to design your own interactive table via Cubit or bring home the voice recognition table designed for conferences by Kage Roi.

Unlike ordinary pods, the Ovei Pod aims at enhancing your personal entertainment experience but not all can afford to enjoy the company of this opulence. Against open-room speaker systems, the surround effect and the bass sensations produced via this Pod is matchless (likewise earphones offer better fidelity sounds than speakers). Lately unveiled at CEDIA EXPO 2008 , UK, the pod territory offers you enough room to watch, play and relax. Designed and developed by Lee McCormack and engineered by Mclaren Applied Technologies, each capsule is custom-made and hand made considering the customers’ qualifications. The manufacturers claim that the Pod is flexible enough to be installed with any kit varying from a PS3 to Xbox to any media server with an open choice of color and interior.

With no word at feature-front, expecting a vibrating seat and air-conditioned ambiance in lieu of £50,000 is not much. Addressing a higher level of entertainment, the corral will feature the display monitor.

I have a great amount of respect and adoration for products with oxymoron features. And try my level best not to skip the inventions of similar nature. Folowing religiously here is a designer kitchen island by Stefan Price that sports cold and hot, black and white, dark and light, peace and wild aspects of a Chinese cooking. Designed for kitchen whiz Evitavonni, its appeal is a clear indication of the renowned Ying Yang icon with the black geography housing the hob and oven (Yang) while the other pole spreads peace by accommodating the sink, fridge and other things connected with cooling (Ying).

Some may call it luxury whilst others may tag it as extravagance, but it is designed to address a new meaning to the world of oriental cooking. The revolutionary design would serve you with delicious Chinese menu and is smart enough to reside in the hi-end abode as the demanding price of £102,577 won’t allow it enter any ordinary household.
