I Lovedev Lebedev

Art Lebedev studio is consistently creating clever products for the home. They are most well-known for their Optimus Maximus keyboard which has the option of customizing the interface of the keyboard through LED keys (e.g. open up Illustrator and the keyboard keys change from Arabic letters to your toolbox icons). They've also designed a grill plate in the shape of an Excel sheet, a Swiss Army cutlery holder, and digital door numbers for your office.

battery-powered packaging

Every NXT shaving product carries an LED in its base that lights up the gel inside, similar to a lava lamp. The lights last for about a year and don't start working until they're on a shelf, because of a rolling switch that turns them off when they're not set upright. The products will sell for around $5 each and will start lighting up the shelves at Target this month.
