Stash Can

I few months ago I spent a small fortune on this sleek, tubular, very attractive stainless steel garbage can -- and it has been the bane of my existence ever since (not to mention the cause of several spats between my husband and I). Because of it's shape, it holds next to nothing. When you remove the bag (after prying open the latches that secure it) it tears due to the inner springs. And then there is the issue of the stainless steel and the lovely fingerprints.

The arrival of the Stash Can from quirky earlier this month has made my life easier. The community developed trash can is designed to ease everyday kitchen hassle and minimize mess. The StashCan accomplishes this through its built in storage compartment that holds a supply of trash bags.

The Stash Can is the seventeenth product designed and developed by the quirky community since quirky’s launch on June 2nd. quirky gives everyone the chance to get product ideas out of their heads and onto shelves.

Floating Platform Bed -- Holger Wissmann

This design falls into the why-didn't-I-think-of-it category -- and yet if I had -- no doubt the bed would be collapsing to the floor.

However, German engineering has this ultra modern platform bed practically levitating on four cubes. Designed by Holger Wissmann -- who tells me that he is inspired to designing items that you can't get anywhere else!

Available in six woods and 9 colors, with the most popular in the US being black and walnut (Germans love the dark red and the white shown here!) Note that the headboard can optionally fold down to create a night table. -- diane

Pop Quiz Math Clock

If military time is a breeze for you, then you'll love this clock that offers equations instead of numerals. These problems on a chalkboard hopefully will just evoke a chuckle and not post traumatic math class. Personally I think it's cute and clever --  and would be fairly appreciated by some engineer friends. But I have no doubt my middle school sons would not be amused.
