Mathematically Timing
The deceptively cool looking Clockus is one heavy-duty brain-drain that takes off from where the IQ Clock left us. It presents you with a rudimentary math problem every hour so if you want the time, brush up on your addition, subtraction and multiplication tables. For you math geniuses, Clockus can serve up questions in the 24hr format. Oooh double digits!

Liquid to Light
Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space.

Salone Milan 2011 Preview: Jaim Telias at Designersblock & Promise Design
With less than a week until the Salone, we're still getting tons of last-minute previews of interesting objects that will be exhibited in Milan, including some nice work from Chilean designer Jaim Telias.
Telias won't be traveling far, since he is now based in Italy via Jerusalem; still, he also celebrates his Israeli heritage at Promise Design with "Alè."
The modular "leaves"—made of plastic-coated wood—can be rearranging so each is lamp unique.
Check out three more of his designs, which will be on view at Designersblock on Ventura Lambrate, after the jump...
