Designer Egor Bashakov had himself an inspiring vision when it comes to bedroom accessory design.  We’re willing to wager that this inspiration didn’t come from Bashakov’s waking life.  The Talking Pillows series includes a wide range of designs from cartoonish speech bubbles to animated patterns and characters.  We’re counting the days until Threadless gets ahold of these, that would certainly be a match made in heaven…  [egor barashkov via likecool]

Designer Sander Mulder said the classic TV video game-styled clock was inspired by a real-life game glitch where properly positioned paddles would trap the ball in an infinite bounce. A pair of buttons on the allow you to yank the clock off the wall and battle it in a paddle-down. Take that Time! [via sander mulder]

tri3 vertical trash container 11 The Tri3: Modern Waste Storage Goes Sectional

Tri3 is a vertical garbage container that wants to help you sort trash and save space at the same time. Designed and optimized by Guisset Constance & Cid Grégory, it uses a mechanism with three pedals to open up its distinctive layers. On top there’s the organic garbage bin, beneath that  is storage for packaging and plastic, while the lowest level container is for glass waste. Doesn’t sound like a bad idea with all the recycling hype these days, but unless you use equal amounts of the above, we can imagine you’ll be emptying these regularly.  [via Yanko]
