The modern technology of creating shoes becames every day more and more sophisticated and this shoes concept are an example. They are made from flat patterns with reinforced parts which are folded and fixed by owner.

If you look closely at them and imagine a little you can say that they have a geometric form and were built by an architect and not by a shoe designer.

I wonder how will this technology evolve in the future because for sure grabbed my attention.

This lighter designed by Nathan Gabriele uses the same technology found in car lighters and instead of lighter fluid it uses resistance coils to create the neccessary heat. The most important characteristic is that it is not using fire, it is flameless.

The battery cell which powers the coil can be recharged from USB.  Just push a button to reveal the USB connector. The cool aspect is that there is some flash memory where you can store your personal files.
