Who says a chair has to have legs? Even a rocker doesn’t need them thanks to two narrow skids that allow for rocking back and forth, right on the ground. The FEDRO Floor Rocker, by Lorenza Bozzoli for DEDON, sports the skids that make it rock while keeping it super lightweight, portable and stackable.

The Milanese Bozzoli brings her fashion and textile background to the design with its woven bands of colors that were inspired by the chair’s bird-like form. The chair is available in Flamingo, Colibri, and Quetzal, whose color schemes are based on Latin American tropical birds.

A Device That Could Save Lives-- Without Ever Doing What It's Meant to Do
by: Core77, 2013-04-01 17:30:00 UTC
In my younger years I drove an ambulance, and while I saw a broad range of nastiness, the most consistently horrific things were injuries sustained in automobile accidents. It was the era before airbags became ubiquitous, and there were still plenty of people who refused to wear a seatbelt. A subset of people subscribed to this ridiculous conventional "wisdom" of the time: "If I wear a seatbelt, I could be trapped in a burning or submerged car and die because the belt was locked shut." There are no statistics that support this as a likely occurrence, either then or now; but pass through any junkyard and you'll see your share of pre-airbag cars that bear the clear marks of a human head going into the windshield.
I bring this up because of the object pictured here. That's Gerber's GDC Hook Knife, a little two-inch device meant to be worn on a keychain, and the blade "can be used to quickly cut yourself out of a piece of clothing, seatbelt or other safety strap."
My first thought was that it's an unnecessary device, as that scenario is unlikely—but then I realized this $11 device could have saved a lot of lives. Not by allowing people to cut themselves free from seatbelts, but by assuring people that they could do so, and hopefully encouraging them to strap the goddamn things on in the first place. It's a strange kind of product design placebo.

Benjamin Hubert Turns Heads with His Stunning Cork ‘Float Light’ Fixtures
by: Inhabitat , 2013-04-02 17:00:20 UTC
Since launching his studio in 2009, London-based designer Benjamin Hubert has achieved widespread recognition and critical acclaim for his innovative use of materials and industrial design. Hubert manages to turn heads with one of his latest work – Float – a pendant lamp made entirely from sustainable cork. Using traditional wood working techniques, blocks of Portuguese cork are manually turned to create a hollow shade. When illuminated, the natural cork surface emits a warming glow. Although the production process creates a high volume of waste, leftover dust is regenerated into other blocks of cork for the production of more lamps.
