Rollbe is a compact circular measuring tool that allows you to measure in straight lines and on curved surfaces by rolling the device from point to point. You do have to manually count while you measure, but the device is more compact than a tape measure and seems great to tackle quick and small measurements.

Feastfrom is a simple but effective line of cooking utensils designed with campers in mind. While the full collection features two sizes of spatulas and a set of tongs, we're most interested in tongs' clever nesting design—great for camping and tiny living spaces.

Honestly this VR outfit just looks fun as hell.

This being an industrial design blog, one would think it would call out the reissue of the HDA Humanscale. An indispensable tool that hasn't been offered for sale for over 30 years.

But go ahead with your plan, that other roller-thingy is awesome.

  Seriously? They had an entire article on it and have posted about it on Twitter constantly.

  That project is everywhere and already well above its goal. Everyone in the design industry already knows about it. I appreciate Core77 giving some focus to the smaller projects that are still ID based.

    Sweet. I hope the Donald heard about it.
    
    Meanwhile the other roller-thingy is also fully funded and I get to manually count the revolutions, multiply and add instead of using this thing called a "tape measure".
