Designed by Neffa, “I Want Contact” is an idea that hopes to demonstrate that plugholes are simple to incorporate into their surroundings. For example, plugholes can easily be integrated into your wall’s design, combined with the pattern of your curtains or accentuated using a handsome frame. The basic assumption in all solutions is that the wall socket itself does not change. No new shapes, no special modifications, no unusual designs: it is about integrating the existing wall socket into the interior design in its original shape.

Catena Wall Clock Tells Time With Bike Chain

Here’s an unusual concept for a wall clock. Instead of telling the time with hands or a digital display, the Catena clock tells time along the perimeter of a bicycle chain. Designed by Andreas Dober for Germany’s Anthologie Quartett, the Catena (Latin for “chain”) has a certain retro-steampunk look about it. Time is told using copper digits mounted on the outside of a bike chain that rotates around a single motorized gear. Now don’t bother trying to tell the exact time with this. The only numbers on the chain are the hours, so any attempt to figure out minutes is a crap-shoot.
