New Shoes?!
On route to Milan last month, Core77 caught up with the Campana Brothers to get the lowdown on their latest project, the Corallo flat for Brazilian jelly shoe giant Melissa. These look completely impractical, but then again what beautiful shoes are??
ReVase
New way to hold those Mother's Day Gifts from core77: article here. I'm not sure I would personally put this in my home; I am more one for the pretty with the pretty, organic with orgranic, abstract with abstract, etc. But I understnad the juxtaposition. And I totally respect the innovation...I mean how many times can you design a vase??

Perspective much?
Lisa Rienermann won eighth place in a student design competition with Type the Sky, an alphabet formed of shapes buildings make against the sky. I think its fantastic!!
Rub a Dub
Welcome to the Tender Tub....the most wonderful looking tub I have ever seen. I'm not sure if ergonomic is the right word, but this looks like it is perfectly made to be the most comfortable thing for the human body. Although thinking in terms as a college student and an RA who monitors drunk college students, I feel as if one too many classes of wine and a hot bath equals one step away from impaling yourself on those corners.

Vacuum creeper
Introduced by Panasonic and called the Fukitorimushi, or "wipe-up bug," the device provides feedback by activating a Cylon-like red light when it detects dirt, so you know when it's working. Because otherwise, as you can see in this video, it's not very clear it's doing anything at all. Its supposed to be an improvement on the Rumba, but if I saw these crawling around at night, I'd be freaked.
