Although the 2013 International Home + Housewares Show has come and
gone, the convention’s 2,000+ exibitors from 35 nations left us with a
massive hoard of innovative goodies. While there’s no way that I’d be
able to share everything that was presented in Chicago’s ultimate new
product party, but here are a few especially cool things that caught my
eye at this year’s event:
If you only like looking at art in museums, you might never experience the ingenius, perspective-based art of Felice Varini, a Swiss artist who sees the whole world as his canvas.
The Mocubo One Stop Chop is a durable bamboo cutting board with one very handy modification.
The board has three slide out food prep containers underneath.
Everyone in the States at this point in time is very familiar with the
term "sequester" as it applies to limiting the size of the U.S. federal
budget. British Airways, on the other hand is using the concept as

A large percentage of babies end up with flat spots on their heads. Tortles are baby beanies that simplify the repositioning process, helping to prevent flat head syndrome.
“Anybody have any idea what invention has saved more lives than any

requesting the world to relinquish use of the most important innovation
known to modern man?
