Double-Decker Chair Armrest Heads off Waiting Room Misery

Having relatively large egos and short tempers, we tend to get very annoyed when sitting in any shared-armrest kind of situation. Airplanes, movie theaters, waiting rooms…they’re all enough to cause conniption fits.

The Paperclip Armrest concept from designer James Lee is a surprisingly simple answer to the widespread problem of who gets the armrest. The clever design has two levels, letting one person put their arm on top and the other on the bottom.

Of course, you still have to be uncomfortably close to the other person in order for this concept to work. Like, high likelihood that your arms will touch kind of close. But if you’re desperate for a place to put your arm or just don’t care about the possibility of literally bumping elbows with your chair neighbor, this is maybe the best advancement to hit chairs since padded seats.

Modular housing concept boasts 64 possible combinations

Italian Designer Gabriel Aramu has conceptualized a modular housing system that seems to offer endless possibilities. Dubbed "Sliding Hub," these prefabricated cubes join together to create a temporary housing solution for multiple situations. In the event that emergency shelters are required, the modules can be packed and transported to any destination. On arrival, the modules are easily joined together, with the flexibility to house individuals, small groups or large numbers without limitation. Each module incorporates an insulation system suitable for all kinds of weather conditions. In addition, the temporary accommodation units provide a comfortable standard of living, important to natural disaster victims. Constructed with steel reinforcements, numerous modules can be assembled together to create various sizes and shapes, whilst sliding them open creates large internal spaces. According to Aramu, the system can be configured 64 different ways, wh
