Taking things apart

Thermoelectric Boots!

Voted as one of Time Magazine's Top 50 Inventions of 2010, these rubber boots capture the heat from your feet and turn it into power that can re-charge your phone!


I probably wouldn't want to strap my phone to the outside of my boots in the rain, but at least it'll be charged! (albeit wet)

I'm really enjoying Dan Rossiter's retail and exhibition portfolio, especially this Nike/Hurley/Converse booth, and especially that nylon-strapped log plinth.
