Beautiful design of practical objects

Drink selector mug. You can slide metal plates on the mug to reveal the type of drink, how many sugars and black or with milk ...that's not to say that they're cheap!

Smashing Magazine got together a list of 25 objects (laptop cases, speaker systems among others) currently on the market, which combine beauty, style, elegance, in some cases a sense of fun.

Their mysterious product appeal suggests they offer an unmatched user experience. Can't guarantee all that just from the photos of course, but check out the mouthwatering pics anyway.

Among my favourites: attractive oilcloth lunch bags (always a sucker for anything which can be reused and reduces waste); the extremely handy drink selector mug, (see picture) - great for remembering everyone's coffee requests in the office, - and the extremely useful flexible dual screen system (the BTC Dual Monitor 150 DS).

Enjoy!
