Colorful Home and Work Studio-amazing idea for net bed over 1-st floor…

source – freshome.com author: Lavinia

More and more homes these days have a color theme. We would like to show you Maison NW, a work studio located in Saint-Ouen, near Paris, but also a private colorful home. The huge workshop spreads over an area of 1,937 square feet and has three levels. Architect Nathalie Wolberg is the owner of this place which is said to carry “her own personality, own desires, passions, even pathological deficiencies”. We think the living space looks really cool and unusual. The approach is a modern one, and the lighting effects are quite spectacular. The stairs connecting the three floors are also unusual, some might say a bit dangerous, due to the fact that there is no hand-grab available. We absolutely love the net in the forth picture and we think it is an idea that could be applied at a large scale.-via Archinect

Astri MyID dual screen tablet will cost 150$ maximum (VIDEO)

Dual screen tablet prototypes have been shown during CES 2010 by a lot of small manufacturers eager to differentiate themselves from big names by doing something utterly different. Astri was one of them with their MyID eInk + touchscreen combo. I’m glad they managed to catch attention of investors as they’ve just announced the MyID will soon hit production. What’s so important is the price: 65 $ for materials and manufacturing, which translates in 150$ max as retail price, a bargain considering you get a device which can open up to 6 eBooks at the same time and navigate the web on the other screen (powered by Android).

The only downside I see is the diagonal of both screen, which at 4.8 inches isnt’ that much bigger than a HTC HD2 for example (which is much more expensive, I have to say), but resolution is OK at 800 x 480 pixels. Below there’s a short video with Astri MyID showing how it works in real life:
