Owen, who is currently based in Rochester New York and teaches at Rochester Institute of Technology, turns out some pretty amazing clean-lined designs. Most recently he debuted the WC Line for Kontextur, a series comprising a plunger, toilet brush, and waste bin that elevates the mundane. As you can see from this week’s Friday Five, Owen revels in the functional and simple.

Product and lighting designer Giles Godwin-Brown is a recent graduate and has designed two high-quality modern lamps.
The Clap Your Hands Digital USB Camera might be one of the easiest cameras you will ever operate. From the looks of it, it appears to be just another fancy flash drive but it is actually a 2-megapixel camera that takes photos and videos.
Here is another great Kickstarter project and it comes from the Norwegian twins, Kine and Einy Paulsen. Their company Ingri:Dahl created a line of designer 3D glasses that puts the free theater-issued glasses to shame.
