Magneat; a new way to manage headphone wires from any mobile device. Featuring a patented magnet solution to be fastened to almost any clothing, the Magneat solves one of the most annoying elements of portable technology like no-one has done before. The Magneat lets you adjusts the wire to acceptable length, minimizing the risk of tangling and reliefs the ears of the weight and motion from the wires. It keeps the wires close to your body and reduces the risk of unwillingly hooking and pulling it out of your ears or PMP (even when tying your shoelaces). Other benefits are the easy storage and untangled retrieval.
The small button/yo-yo like, two piece unit, has two strong magnets to securely fasten the Magneat to any garment, without leaving marks. The best way to wind & unwind.
Running, cycling, skating, snowboarding or walking,
most of us would appreciate the relief of the wires dangling all over.
“Having used portable music players since the early Sony Walkman, and praising the arrival of the iPod and other PMP´s, the problem of carrying excessive wires when in motion had not been resolved in a simple manner, no clips and no additional strain on the ears. We ended up by solving this our way”: says the design team behind the Magneat. “Magneat is simplicity and solution”.
For users of headphones, Magneat is the solution you´ve been waiting for. No strings attached… not quite, but they are no longer in your way!
Read all the great reviews Magneat has been getting in our blog section.

Korean Designer Wonsuk Cho has designed a series of lights based on the light box commonly used to examine X-Ray film.
These whimsical lights are created by taking X-rays of single incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs. The images are subsequently mounted onto small black boxes which hang from the ceiling and once illuminated reveal their skeletal structure.
The X-Ray lights look particularly striking when placed in a group. Each light ships with 2 x-ray bulb designs.
Materials: Steel Frame, X-Ray film, Transformer.
Dimensions: 5″W x 8.25″H x .8″D
