From Lucky\u2019s mind\u2026 to you!<\/p>\n

\"FurnitureImagine having a product that you use [as] an infant, a child, a teen and an adult\u2026 something that is both utilitarian and stylish.\u00a0 You\u2019re probably thinking of the blanket you had as a child; but, one designer, David Singelyn, has endeavored to create a piece of furniture to follow you throughout your life.\u00a0 Dubbed \u201cGro Furniture,\u201d the crib\/bed\/desk hybrid is designed to get the most use out of one piece of furniture.\u00a0 Taking a basic frame of bamboo plywood, the owner is able to use several modules that allow the crib to become a bed for a small child, a day bed, and eventually, a desk, creating a piece of furniture that can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

\"InnovativeGro Furniture is not the first well-designed product that serves multiple purposes, of course.\u00a0 In 2008, Moreno Ferrari designed a line of clothing for C.P. Company that went from fashion to functional gear.\u00a0 The Transformable Armchair, for example, was a raincoat that the wearer could take off and inflate into an armchair.\u00a0 [It was] certainly not the most practical design, but [was] visually appealing and could be useful in marine or camping situations.<\/p>\n

And, speaking of marine life, if you\u2019re the boating type, the Amphicar was the only mass produced amphibious automobile available to the American public.<\/p>\n

\"Innovative<\/p>\n

It was powered by a Triumph Harold engine and was capable of speeds of 70 mph on dry land and 7 mph in the water.\u00a0 It could drive from land, directly into the water, with no need to retract its wheels.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the company went under when EPA and DOT regulations went into effect in 1968, but Amphicar enthusiasts still restore and drive these cars today!<\/p>\n

\"Transportation\"Featured<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As promised, you will be hearing a lot more from Lucky in the future.\u00a0 Every couple of weeks, he\u2019ll be giving us his perspective on what\u2019s hot in the invention industry!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more!<\/p>\n
