The Impact Conference Gallery Opening! Along with a slide display of midwest student work, the UIUC Art/Design department announced the official opening of their product design gallery. The initial exhibition of products were all donated by companies and designers around the world, along with an open call for submissions for other innovative products.

Knob tweaking on the wheels of steel.

British accents are fun to listen to.

Some kettles in the collection.

In the house: Stumpf, Rashid, Lovegrove, Eames, etc.

The Kohler Purist Hatbox toilet. This is the second time I posted a toilet this weekend. This one costs $4000. Brings new meaning to the term "sitting on the throne"...
