No? Um, oh, it’s a joystick for video games? Oh it’s not? The Stick Sound FM Radio makes its purpose known when you grab the stick which tunes the radio, adjusts the volume and turns it on and off. Kudos Samsung for making us want a printer for looking cool rather than what it does. At first glance we weren’t sure if it was a digital scale or some kind of light-up paperweight, but we certainly didn’t think it was a printer. Usually when you think of a minimalist gadget you think of mp3 players, speakers, maybe even computers, but printers? The Samsung ML-1630 Printer makes fools of us all.

The Sliding Shower feels like something straight out of a sci-fi movie and seems like it’s designed to make you feel uncomfortable with change. You could give someone all day to guess what that weird panel on the wall was and they’d probably never figure it out without the context of a bathroom or someone using it. At first you’ll think this is just a cool metal bracelet but upon further inspection you’ll notice the subtle hands underneath… or you might not notice-they’re pretty obscure. If you’re a fan of the slick metal bands on a men’s watch, but hate a big clunky face you’re gonna dig the Phillippe Starck Veiled Watch. (Actually, all of the real computing is done off site somewhere which is subscription based) $300 <

We’re not really sure how it works, but we think some kind of voodoo may be involved. It literally fits in the palm of your hand, doesn’t have any disk drives, or even a hard drive and processor.

If you think that even the Mac mini has too many bells and whistles then you’ll appreciate the Pano Logic Computer. Yeah nevermind about the Osorom Bench seeming comfortable. Although those holes all over it seem like if you sit on this thing you’re asking for some uncomfortable snaggage. Actually the curved sides might be pretty comfortable as opposed to a hard square corner. The Mondrian T is about as simple as it gets for lighting and you get the benefit of clean lines without loads of color which is usually what comes to mind when there’s a mention of something “Mondrian.” See it SourceĪ bench huh? It’s hard to imagine something that looks like this would have a purpose, but apparently it does. Unless it’s on you might think this was some kind of hat rack or something.

The Fuksas Mocha Cups eliminate handles and that tired ‘cup’ shape most mugs have. Sourceĭon’t be surprised if your friends try to ash their cigarettes, or ignore these altogether because they look like art. The outer part holds pepper while the center blob holds salt. They’re for your iPod right? This product looks way more complicated than it is… seriously, it’s just a salt and pepper shaker. Is that one of those new tiny speakers I’ve heard so much about? Yeah, that’s got to be it. And like the best minimalist designs, once you realize what Habitual Bedside Table is you realize it’s really the ONLY way to design a bedside table… especially if you read a lot. SourceĪs most minimalist products you might not know what this is until you see it in use. There are 12 different “flavor capsules” so each hour a different scent is exuded from the holes on the face of the clock. That’s the idea behind the Flavor of Time Clock. It’s been said that our most powerful sense is the sense of smell and that the scent of a fond memory can stay with you forever-like homemade cookies from when you were a kid, or the way that that she smelled the first time you kissed… But you probably never thought you’d be telling the time based on smell alone. $40 at Amazonĭas Keyboard was designed to be the best keyboard ever made and it provides the best tactile typing experience… That’s great but why does it have blank keys? Apparently real typists can feel their way though so silly things like marked keys are unnecessary. The Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum is cordless, bagless and the coolest looking vacuum you never knew you wanted. Usually you’re looking for a place to stash your vacuum in your tiny city apartment, but here’s one that you can leave out as a piece of modern art. The Recycled Paper Side Table by Matt Gagnon technically fits the requirement of being able to hold something on it, although until you put a lamp on it people will have no clue what it is. It’s kind of easy to call anything that could technically support a lamp and some magazines a “side table” which gives lots of room to minimalist designers. We’ve tracked down 19 products that look quite cool but leave you wondering wtf?Įven in the most modern bathroom design, a toilet is a toilet right? Apparently not, which is fine with us because why should your bathroom have to revolve around the throne? Downplay it with the egg shaped design of the Cell Tankless Toilet. Sometimes modern design and minimalism go a little too far and it’s hard to figure out exactly what the products are.
