Vintage by Penny Byrne
Melbourne-based artist Penny Byrne reworks vintage porcelain figurines, transforming them into humorous, politically charged works of art. Penny uses her accomplished skills as a ceramicist to manipulate and reconfigure decorative items that once adorned the shelves in grandma’s cupboard. “I won’t destroy important decorative art,” she says. “I buy vintage figurines, which are poor copies of the original, I think they’re just asking for trouble.”

Venus of Cupertino iPad docking station by designer Scott Eaton
The Venus of Cupertino is a sculptural docking station inspired by the curvaceous forms and symbolism of ancient Venus figurines - she is a fertility goddess for the technology age.
Each Venus is hand-cast in museum-quality resin and is a fully functional iPad docking station. Her hands gently guide any second or third generation iPad onto a charger inconspicuously located in her midriff. A USB cable emerges from a number of points under the sculpture and fits any standard USB port or Apple power adapter for syncing or charging. The charging cable and connector are fully changeable in order to future-proof the docking station against updates to Apple’s iPad connectors.

Transparent Glass Toaster
To demonstrate how the Inventables Marketplace can be used to inspire new product innovations, the Inventables Concept Studio brainstormed and created renderings for some new product concepts. Each of the concepts takes an unmet need and marries it with a material or technology found in the marketplace.
This transparent toaster allows you to see the bread while it is toasting so you’re never surprised by toast that comes out too dark. This idea is based on a transparent heating glass technology. Although the glass does not currently get hot enough to toast bread, the vendor explained that, with some R&D, this application may be possible. The concept was developed by the Inventables Concept Studio.
