This guy, Oleksiy Pikalo has done something truely unique by taking bits and pieces from an inkjet printer and turned it into a cool latte machine.

Sure, it might not be entirely practical, or might take a couple of minutes to finish printing a cool logo onto your coffee, but you can’t deny the fact there is nothing like it at the moment. This custom designed coffee machine could be a nice alternative to your normal coffee.

If he manages to get it printing faster, maybe down to a minute or so, we wouldnt mind waiting that little bit longer to have a really cool coffee.

Jens Praet is another pretty cool designer with an environment bent. After looking at the Bentley car, we did some more research on environmental designs that we think are cool and innovative. This cool Belgian designer has done some great cool furniture.

All this range of his cool furniture is made completely of recycled, shredded paper. We are not exactly sure what was used to form and shape it, as well as the binding material, but claims it is just as strong as wood.

We think that this idea for furniture would be a great way for businesses to recycle their shredded paper, by turning it into pretty cool office furniture. It would definitely give your business an edge in the design stakes, as well as helping the environment.

Adam Kalkin is a designer from NYC. He is a designer that completed a project that took ordinary shipping containers and turned them into a pretty cool home for someone to live. And whilst you might think that it would be cold, hard, and poorly ventilated, Adam used his pretty cool design skills to make it something that we here at Yeah its Pretty Cool would love to use as an office.

With the earths resources twindling at a rapid rate, the desire of people to live in the city, and the rising costs of land and housing; the idea of taking a shipping container, which has been designed to with-stand pretty much anything - makes almost complete sense.

It appears though that Adam isnt the only one with this pretty cool idea. There are others converting containers into something very cool - even combining office and dwelling into one. Below is a snippet from a feature about pretty cool containers in England. The designer in charge makes a very valid point about how containers are designed to stack and hold their weight, and hence they added an extra floor to their pretty cool container complex in an extremely short time.
