Fly Wing Flapper
October 29th, 2011 — Design
The Fly Wing Flapper by Dutch industrial designer Ramon Middelkoop , who teaches product design at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, is a plastic fly swatter with a lacy design that echoes the pattern of the annoying insects’ wings. While it’s certainly better looking than the typical hardware store variety of swatter, we wonder if the openings are a tad too large for an average-sized pesky housefly. Still, we applaud the effort to elevate the mundane.

October 10th, 2011 — Design
The Grand Canyon Table by Amit Apel has a decorative crack from one corner to the center, with blue-tinted glass in between, acting like a glass river. I think this is kind of neat.
