Sorry I keep going back to Design Fiction (was a few weeks ago) but I stumbled across this and definitely couldn’t ignore it!

It’s a bunch of ingenious products that truly solve life’s little nuisances, and should definitely be invented. These are some of my favourites:

Squishable cups made from edible Jell-O

I can’t count how many times I’ve tried to eat jello or take a jelly shot and end up awkwardly and unattractive tonguing the inside of a broken plastic cup, only to ingest about 25% of the jelly.

An insanely simple design for a coffee cup that catches all the drips.

This is so clever I can’t believe it’s not a commercial product! Imagine no more coasters; no more mum yelling at me for the coffee coloured rings on her favourite table!

A hamper/washer/dryer all in one.

Yes!! How clever and necessary. I still have no idea how to do the washing, so I need this in my life.

This extension cord, which is flat and sticky like tape so no one will trip over it.

This is brilliant. It would be perfect on film shoots because a plethora of tangled cords is such an OHS issue AND the endless hours spent figure-eighting extensions cords is literally the bane of everyone’s existence.

A coffeemaker that uses handprint recognition to make the perfect cup of coffee according to personal preference.

So I wouldn’t die without this in my life, but this is the coolest thing in the whole world. Imagine a dreary early Monday morning where all you need is a cup of coffee to get you going. Now imagine that all you have to do is lazily plant your hand on a machine and your perfect morning Joe is ready in seconds.

Genius!
