I just came across this product by my favorite Russian design studio, Art Lebedev Studios. The studio has designed this interesting USB hub - modeled after the idea of a prism splitting light into the colors of the rainbow:This thing is COOL! What I love almost more than Lebedev Studios products is their process sketches - and the fact that they actually include them on the website! Check out these process shots:What kinda bums me out is what the product finally ended up being, at least on the Lebedev Studios product page for Spectrus, is a product with no LEDs ... Read More»

Another interesting concept from the Russian geniuses at Art Lebedev Studios is something they're calling Air Crosswalk. Essentially, it is illumination for crosswalks, diffuse, and from above, minimalizing the chance that a pedestrian might not be seen in the night.
