While I don’t really know if these qualify as “gadgets,” I just had to show you these awesome tape dispensers coming from UK designers at j-me.

A clever visual pun manifested in 3-dimensions, they dispense Scotch tape instead of playing the magnetic type. Available for pre-order now, these dispensers should…

Chiaki Murata’s Xbox 360 design is now commonplace in living rooms around the world. But back in 2003, the system was still just in the conceptual stages. Now, the Japanese industrial designer has released some great images of a couple of his original design concepts that didn’t make it.
