Jun Murakoshi Design
Stacked stools evoke sculpture, stored chairs double as a clever bookcase. Nice, simple design.
Goldfish “race track” bowl
Shaped like a figure “8″, the bowl is designed to give goldfish a less cramped place to swim (compared to a cramped bowl, where circles are the only option.)
“Parasite” Project
Inflatable temporary living space for homeless persons, heated and inflated by the HVAC vents of a “host” building.
Waiting for Godot Chair
This chair will invite passers-by to sit in it and wait for Godot. Once sitting the chair promises godot will “arrive soon” and will start to plead if the person leaves.

“Locked” private chair
Chair has an alarm that will active if either someone sits on the empty chair (other than the owner with the key) or if someone gets up off the chair (if activated when they were on it!)
Interactive lighting fixtures
Lights with interesting ways of interacting with them, with and without switches.
Weight sensing furniture from the “Equator” research project
I like the “History Tablecloth” that shows the imprints of objects (through glowing el wire) based on how long and how long ago the object was placed on the table.
Rug made out of recycled bicycle tubes
I wonder how it feels! Interesting use of alternative materials for a project.
Very cool lighting and “interactive” furniture shop
Too bad stuff costs like 350 bucks. I should try making some lamps.
