Fridge That Rocks - Marshalls

If you are a rock fan ever or watched a concert there will be this big portable box behind performers on stage. Its their ear to hear how their music sounds while they are playing, what's been magnified to the audience. Over the years numerous rock stars & performers fell in love with Marshalls and took lot of pictures with it which rode Marshalls high.

Now this beautiful memorabilia can be in your man cave and nobody will ever imagine its a fridge. Its a creative way to relive your rocking times, remember the best shows you had ever seen and until you say nobody will ever think its a fridge. Probably people may ask you, 'hey do you play any instruments ??' thinking that why you carry a Marshall.

Marshalls fridge comes with the same details as on the real speakers. A white piping around the frame, cloth material in the front, audio controls on the top front panels and more than everything Jim Marshalls signature. Here it is, Marshalls

Punkt Group

Punkt Group, is a rare name for such a design company. They have few line of products but I should say they are just beautiful. As Steve Jobs re imagined Ipod & Ipad, PG is doing to things which we use in day today life. They add colors & solve some of the usability issues, to boring things otherwise.

The best of all they got is their cordless phone. It sits on a magnetic cradle which hold it and also let the receiver charge. Now lot of companies designed cordless phone but what makes this different is because it solves a problem when the base unit is on the wall, vertical, upside down or slanting. In any position you can imagine, once the receiver comes close to base unit, it just clicks on the magnet and hold it back.

I remember we had a base unit on the wall and every time somebody who are not used to it place the receiver on the base unit, it slides down and fall down. And Punkt solved it beautifully. Another product they re-imagined is an alarm clock. Its so cute to look at now. Its brightens your morning, and also stands very thin and tall to view the time. Now you don't need to sleep with your phone as alarm. PG also came up with an extension socket which reduces wire clutter, which is also a clean design. Punkt is from UK, so people in north america will have to get them shipped, but its worth every bit of it.
