Digital artist Jaime Sanchez is creating works that will make you look at famous brands a bit differently. In his digital art, these brands lend their recognizable logos and colors to all sorts of unexpected products.

Browsing through Sanchez’s works, you can see an Oreo cookie that has been turned into a pizza cutter, KitKat-branded toothpaste, KitKat toothbrush, LEGO toilet paper, Nintendo Walkman, and much more.

Sanchez’s digital art is colorful, complex, and unusual, so you have to wonder how he gets inspired by all of those intriguing creations. As it turns out, the answer to that question is quite simple.

“I’m inspired by everyday objects and things easily accessible to us,” Sanchez told Bored Panda in a recent interview. “But without a doubt, my main inspiration is Andy Warhol. My works are based on simple and colorful compositions like those of Warhol, but I add a touch of surrealism and concept.”

Sanchez also doesn’t complicate his creative process too much. He explains that he simply takes an object and then gives it a new meaning. It just so happens that the result ends up being quite captivating, judging by the popularity of his works on social media.

For designer Nikolas Bentel, everyday objects shouldn’t be constrained to their primary use. He reimagines them as new products that look quirky but have a practical use.

For example, Bentel has turned a simple red electric cable into a classy bag that you can use to free up your pockets. A credit card, on the other hand, becomes a knife that cuts butter but also presents a strong commentary on the capitalist culture.

As you dive into Bentel’s portfolio a bit deeper, his creations become more amusing and unexpected. One of the most intriguing ones has to be The Pizza Bag. Designed in the shape of a pizza slice, it is perfect for those who want to have their favorite food with them at all times in case of emergency pizza craving. And best of all, it is big enough to fit a large New York City pizza slice.

According to Bentel, his products and performances aim to “engage viewers to reimagine their everyday objects” while also serving as a storytelling item.

“I make storytelling objects,” he explained in an interview with Surface Mag. “The objects can serve a function, but their main intention is to tell a story. Whether that story is about how the object was made, commentary on a current idea, or simply a physical embodiment of a joke, everything I make has a narrative.”

Tech company Augmental has developed a product that promises to revolutionize how people control their electronic devices. The product is called MouthPad and acts as a tongue-operated trackpad.

The user places MouthPad in their mouth and then pairs it up with their electronic device. The MouthPad’s sensors then pick up the movement of the tongue and translate it to action on the device. Imagine it like a laptop trackpad, but instead of your finger, you are using your tongue.

MouthPad can be used to successfully execute various tasks, including writing emails, using photo and video editing software, playing video games, and more.

“We’re not just reinventing the computer mouse — we’re reframing the human experience. From gamers performing multi-dimensional moves to artists crafting digital masterpieces, the potential is limitless. What will you create with the MouthPad^?” the company explains.

According to Augmental, MouthPad’s slim design makes it hardly noticeable when used and provides a minimum effect on speech. This means that, in theory, you can easily switch between performing tasks and speaking with someone. Also, every piece is custom-built to provide the perfect fit for the users.

At the moment, MouthPad is in the Early Access phase, those interested can join the waitlist on Augmental’s website and be among the first ones to try it.

Doing your laundry isn’t really a fun activity, especially when you have to use a laundromat. You not only have to leave your house to get to one, but you also need to find ways to kill time until your clothes are washed and dried. Recognizing these challenges, one Japanese architecture studio decided to make laundromat use a much more appealing activity.

Suppose Design Office designed a one-of-a-kind laundromat in Shikokuchuo City, Japan, where customers have plenty of ways to spend time. Set in a renovated warehouse, The Laundry Holiday offers an in-house cafe, ice cream shop, and everything you need for playing a game of table tennis.

Besides reinventing the concept of laundromats, based on the owner’s wish to turn laundry duty into a fun task, the studio also put a lot of focus on the exterior of the place. The original façade of the warehouse was left intact beside the front, which was turned into a window display. The café and the ice cream shop were given a green tile treatment for a visually appealing contrast.

If the Laundry Holiday was any closer, we would probably do our laundry all the time there. But since it is not, we can only admire the idea.

Wouldn’t it be nice to always be able to look through your window and see an ocean or snow-covered mountains? One way to afford yourself these views is to head to those places. Another is to get some windows from the company called LiquidView.

LiquidView makes windows that allow you to have any view you want in your room, regardless of your surroundings. Their windows are equipped with high-resolution digital panels that project videos featuring some of the most beautiful views across the world.

The windows are connected to the user’s phone through an app that adjusts the projection based on the local time.

“The views are captured by National Geographic-level cinematographers using feature film motion picture cameras, providing a 24-hour journey in stunning 8K video,” the company explains. “To add to the unpredictability of looking out a window, views are augmented with photo realistic content that appears randomly throughout the day.”

The view provided by LiquidView windows isn’t cheap. A single panel comes at a cost of $25,000, while a three-panel panorama setup will set you back up to $100,000. Also, the access to the company’s library is subscription-based. A single view is priced at $59 a month, while the complete library is accessible for a monthly fee of $199.

Rolex and Vienna Philharmonic are taking their longtime partnership to another level. The iconic watchmaker just unveiled a limited edition Day-Date model inspired by the orchestra.

Rolex has been an exclusive partner of the Vienna Philharmonic since 2008 and has sponsored the orchestra’s New Year’s concert since 2009. The new timepiece serves as a celebration of the 15th anniversary of their collaboration.

The 36mm Day-Date, which “pays a tribute to classic music” according to Rolex, features a trademark green watch face with silhouettes of a violin and volute. It comes with an enameled dial made of 18 ct yellow gold.

“The exclusive version introduced here is fashioned in 18ct yellow gold and adorns a finely crafted dial representing a violin and its volute, a decoration made using the champlevé method of grand feu enameling. Directly etched into the yellow gold base, the violin design is colored by hand in different shades of green,” said Rolex in an ad published in the New York Times.

Unfortunately, the Vienna Philharmonic-inspired Day-Date model will not be available in commercial sale. Only a limited number of units were produced and will be offered to selected Rolex enthusiasts.

New generations might have a hard time believing this, but once upon a time, phones were much more than just touch screens. They had all sorts of other attachments, with some models like Blackberry phones even equipped with a keyboard.

Most people would say that it is a good thing that the screens have taken over. But there is still a fair amount of those who are nostalgic for times when you could write messages by tapping on keys and not the screen.

A company, Clicks Technology, is looking to bring together the best of both worlds by designing a phone case that adds a physical keyboard to your iPhone. It is characterized by a sleek design and simple approach. You just slip the iPhone into the case, and you are ready to go.

The case doesn’t even need to be taken off when charging your phone. There is a charging port on the bottom of the case that does the same function as the phone’s original charging port, while the material also allows for wireless charging.

On top of all, the Clicks phone case also comes equipped with shortcut keys for various important iPhone functions like voice input. You can get it in BumbleBee yellow and London Sky blue, with the pre-orders already available on Clicks Technology’s official website.

The color blue served as a source of inspiration for artists for centuries since it has the power to bring serenity and peace to everything around us. Leyla Mo couldn’t escape its charm and she’s now known under the alter ego Blue Bug since most of her ceramic art is decorated with different shades of blue.

Leyla Monteferrante aka Leyla Mo originally hails from Iran, but she’s been based in The Hague, Netherlands for over a decade. She describes herself as a “late-night ceramic artist” because she’s actually a health economist with a background in industrial engineering and has no technical artistic training.

Even though her academic career took her in a different direction, Leyla Mo has always been passionate about art. She tried many different ways to get creative while working as an engineer, and something finally clicked when she discovered ceramics.

“I started to try ceramics in 2019, and day after day I became more passionate about it. While I spend most of my time being a mom and a scientist, I cherish the moments I get – mostly in the evenings – to create ceramic pieces,” she explained on her official website.

The color blue is the most common motif in her work, which is generally inspired by Dutch and Italian traditional pottery, Middle Eastern patterns, nature, and animals.

Rolex and Vienna Philharmonic are taking their longtime partnership to another level. The iconic watchmaker just unveiled a limited edition Day-Date model inspired by the orchestra.

Rolex has been an exclusive partner of the Vienna Philharmonic since 2008 and has sponsored the orchestra’s New Year’s concert since 2009. The new timepiece serves as a celebration of the 15th anniversary of their collaboration.

The 36mm Day-Date, which “pays a tribute to classic music” according to Rolex, features a trademark green watch face with silhouettes of a violin and volute. It comes with an enameled dial made of 18 ct yellow gold.

“The exclusive version introduced here is fashioned in 18ct yellow gold and adorns a finely crafted dial representing a violin and its volute, a decoration made using the champlevé method of grand feu enameling. Directly etched into the yellow gold base, the violin design is colored by hand in different shades of green,” said Rolex in an ad published in the New York Times.

Unfortunately, the Vienna Philharmonic-inspired Day-Date model will not be available in commercial sale. Only a limited number of units were produced and will be offered to selected Rolex enthusiasts.

New generations might have a hard time believing this, but once upon a time, phones were much more than just touch screens. They had all sorts of other attachments, with some models like Blackberry phones even equipped with a keyboard.

Most people would say that it is a good thing that the screens have taken over. But there is still a fair amount of those who are nostalgic for times when you could write messages by tapping on keys and not the screen.

A company, Clicks Technology, is looking to bring together the best of both worlds by designing a phone case that adds a physical keyboard to your iPhone. It is characterized by a sleek design and simple approach. You just slip the iPhone into the case, and you are ready to go.

The case doesn’t even need to be taken off when charging your phone. There is a charging port on the bottom of the case that does the same function as the phone’s original charging port, while the material also allows for wireless charging.

On top of all, the Clicks phone case also comes equipped with shortcut keys for various important iPhone functions like voice input. You can get it in BumbleBee yellow and London Sky blue, with the pre-orders already available on Clicks Technology’s official website.

The color blue served as a source of inspiration for artists for centuries since it has the power to bring serenity and peace to everything around us. Leyla Mo couldn’t escape its charm and she’s now known under the alter ego Blue Bug since most of her ceramic art is decorated with different shades of blue.

Leyla Monteferrante aka Leyla Mo originally hails from Iran, but she’s been based in The Hague, Netherlands for over a decade. She describes herself as a “late-night ceramic artist” because she’s actually a health economist with a background in industrial engineering and has no technical artistic training.

Even though her academic career took her in a different direction, Leyla Mo has always been passionate about art. She tried many different ways to get creative while working as an engineer, and something finally clicked when she discovered ceramics.

“I started to try ceramics in 2019, and day after day I became more passionate about it. While I spend most of my time being a mom and a scientist, I cherish the moments I get – mostly in the evenings – to create ceramic pieces,” she explained on her official website.

The color blue is the most common motif in her work, which is generally inspired by Dutch and Italian traditional pottery, Middle Eastern patterns, nature, and animals.
