Ceramic Paper Plates

To create her reusable ceramic plates, designer Virginia Sin makes paperclay from the pulp of shredded paper plates. Once fired, some of the paper pulp burns out of the clay and the resulting pieces end up almost as light as the real thing. Each piece is then glazed on both sides, making them both microwave and dishwasher safe.

Coupon Billboard

To promote Stihl professional chainsaws, Rethink Communications placed a giant coupon and a real chainsaw on a billboard. After a while, they had a worker go up there and cut out the coupon with the chainsaw. The billboard then stayed up with the giant hole and chainsaw in place.

Articulating Faucet

Clever. The Karbon Articulating Kitchen Faucet from Kohler lets you extend the faucet to fill large pots, lower it into the sink for cleanup, or even fold it completely out of the way. Once you put the faucet in the position you want, it stays there for hands-free operation.
