Rocket is proud to share with youa range of 21 really fun rock-inspired home and wearable accessories just launched on crowdfunding site Kickstarter.
Our aim was to reinvent boring, utilitarian items and turn them into something new and soulful. We borrowed iconic rock-n-roll shapes to give new life to an eclectic mix of commoplace items, such as kitchen and bar utensils, headphone accessories, and other home furnishings.
You can find a few highlights below, and discover the rest of our range on our Kickstarter project page or on our website:www.rocketdesign.it
Our products are available on Kickstarter until November 10, with prices starting at $10 and discounts for the first 500 project backers. –>
Finally! Mobile printing is really here! A printer that goes where you go & prints from your phone on any size page! The future is now!
Print machines now-a-days are essentially a printhead running left and right on a moving piece of paper. We asked ourselves, why not get rid of the entire device, just put the printhead on a set of small wheels and let it run across a piece of paper. By doing so, we allow the printer to really be as little as possible.
Our printer is entirely fitted for our day to day life. It has a rechargeable battery with an on\off switch, it connects directly to smartphones and to PCs, and it allows the user to print on any size piece of paper.
This project are now fundraising on Kickstarter, Check this out!

Strawbees is a construction kit based on one simple unit that lets you connect straws to each other. You stick a Strawbee into the ends of a standard quarter inch (6mm) straw to make struts and then connect them with another Strawbee.
With the Strawbees you can build everything from mathematical shapes like the platonic solids to mechanical birds, claws, or even huge animated snakes.
Just come up with an idea and start building, or simply start building and see where you end up. With the Strawbees you can always modify things as you go, add straws, cut straws, or add new connections to get a stronger, more flexible or bigger construction.
The claw above is made by searching for crabs claws on Youtube and image search on Google. That was enough to reverse engineer a claw with the strong muscle being a human hand and a rubber band for the weak opening action muscle.
Besides connecting straws the Strawbees can be used to connect cardboard. This means you can build large scale mechanical objects from cardboard with the same pieces you use for the straws.
These kickstarter kits are in an early stage and will not feature any instructions, instead we are going to post instruction videos on already available video sharing and instruction platforms. But the best part is that you don’t really need any instructions to get started, just look at a mechanical object and try to reverse engineer it.
Keeping our digits warm and dry can be a real challenge when using smartphones in the winter. The solution we usually peddle is simple: dump your current hand warmers for a new pair of touch-enabled gloves. But there aren’t a lot of brands that sell touch-enabled gloves, and what if you like what you’re already wearing? Canadian inventor Tony Yu has thought of a solution.
Meet Nanotips: A specially-designed compound made with nanotechnology that can help you turn any pair of gloves into touch-enabled ones.
This project is now fundraising ! basically has reached the goal but you still have got 8 more days to be a part of this project to get your own nanotips!
