Let me channel my best Shamwow Guy impression and convince you these items are worth their salt. The Easy Food Dicer, Lemon Slicer and Robot Penguins have a tiny bit of Alessi in them but there’s something modernly sophisticated to them too.

I’m not one for overly complicated kitchen accessories but the Easy Food Dicer looks much easier to use than many products in the market. I guess that’s how they arrived at the name. There’s something satisfying about guiding that potato to a slow death into perfectly cut cubes. Mmm fry me up some of that!

I’ll pass on the Lemon Slicer. Seriously people need a lemon slicer? The Robot Penguins are a win tho. They’re not so much robots as they are toy shakers that roll across the table after you give the wheels a couple good cranks. Pass the salt please! I think Designer Cosso should send me the whole set.

Reviving the conventional Asian mode of transportation, the rickshaw, designer Enoch Morishima has come up with a hi-tech concept that utilizing Honda’s range of technology seems to take the rickshaw to the robotic age. Designed to rule city centers and making them worth living in, the Honda-sponsored design is a cheap and efficient public transportation system that would provide efficient commuting in downtown Malaysia. Pulled by a robot capable of interacting with the passengers, the “Honda Rickshaw” features the pod as used in those conventional rickshaws, with the exception that it can be detached from the rickshaw and attached to another transport medium as a trailer.
