The Carma Project is a really neat project, sponsored by ad firm Leo Burnett Lisbon. They created a bike with as many reclaimed car parts as possible, watch the video below! They built the bicycle out of scraps from a retired Mercedes hoping that the heavy karma of the car could be re-balanced by riding the same number of kilometers in a greener way: just by cycling.

What a sweet looking little renovated NYC apartment. This 240-square-foot shoebox with sleeping loft was designed by Brooklyn architect Tim Seggerman, who renovated this Upper West Side brownstone studio into what it is today. His solution was to insert what he calls a “crafted jewel box” into the undersize space, creating an enveloping cabin of blond woods. “It’s basically a piece of woodwork,” says Seggerman. “I’m very proud of that.” There are cabinets of cypress and bamboo; a gently chamfered ash-and-beech staircase; flooring of quartered white oak; a desk of red birch slats that slips out into the living space... And a nook creates a cubby-like library to crawl into.

The Connor wood bikes ($4, 500) elegantly form and function into a ride-able work of art. The design embodies simple, pure fun in the most unique way possible on two wheels. Enjoy the unbelievably smooth ride and the distinct look that only an individually crafted, hand sculpted wood bicycle provides. Find out more information by visiting there website.

Designers Maxim Mezentsev & Aleksander Suhih have created such a useful keyboard concept.  The E-Inkey Keyboard helps you remember shortcuts for all of your applications. The keyboard keys would show custom buttons for each program that you use (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, etc). So how many designer would love something like this!
