Tragedy always happen in buildings with insufficient escape routes or buildings with enough of them but tangled in a complex maze of rooms and hallways.  Also, even if the way out is as simple as a straight line, when tragedy happens, some people tend to panic and forget the way out.  Designers Li-Yu Chiao, Cheng-Cheng Chun, Ming-DaYang, Kung-Yi Kuang, Huai-Yi Hsieh, Ching-Chang Chuang, Yu-Hung Chien, Shaio-Chung Cha & Yu-Hung Chien have designed a tool responding to these situations and aid people to escape a disaster.

The movies have always been a jam-packed full of new ideas and technologies like the spaceships, robots and flying machines which most of them only coming from the minds of creative writers, producers and directors.  These designs of high-technological machines and gadgets only exists in the movie screens when they were conceptualized, but with today's times where technology is fast becoming limitless, scientists and engineers are already able to produce machines and gadgets much like what we see in the movies right now.  One of the latest machines being developed by the military is a robotic suit just like the Iron Man Suit in the movie.  The Iron Man Suit is fast becoming a reality!

If you're an artist, then you probably may have seen or have even used a wooden posing doll to help you with your artworks of human poses.  The wooden posing doll on the image above however would not only help you with some of the poses but also gives you more fun and amusement as you tinker with it.  The wooden posing doll goes modern with this wooden robot posing doll!

Unique lighting design can accentuate any interior design of a space.  A really creative lighting design piece captures the attention of any person in the room just like this Omlet Lamp designed by Tembolat Gugkaev.

It's really unsightly when someone spills liquid on a table, especially if it's colored and not liquid water.  The liquid spillage, on the image above, however would amuse you and may in fact be placed on some of the center tables of your house.  It's liquid light poured our from a cup!

Nature inspired designs often has a feeling of lightness in them and an airy experience.  It is one characteristic that I find very attractive in this bed touched by nature's hands.  I would imagine this in a fairy tale scene where the hero lives in a house within a magical forest.

We're used to seeing a table as this stationary and unanimated piece of furniture which its main purpose is just to hold books or pieces of decorations in the room.  The table above on the other hand would seem to invite you to interact and play with it as it is able to move in such an amusing way.

If you are an outdoor guy who loves to go to the beach and race a jet ski out to sea, and then after an hour, without resting, get back to the beach to ride an ATV (all terrain vehicle) and race it in the beach line and out to the woods to see the wilderness, then this amazing jet ski and ATV in one will definitely drive you crazy and maybe, can even break you down into tears.
