Ironing Board with Suction Caps

From the archives of All things Ironing - Ironing Board Design
 
The Liika ironing board, designed by  Tony Zakrajsek utilizes suction cups which allow it to be attached to any non porous surface.


This eliminates legs which can be knocked over and it also allows the device to be attached to a height level which is comfortable to the user, eliminating strain.


The articulating arms, which rotate and pivot, offer a large range of motion allowing the ironing board to conform to almost any household area, such as counter tops, windows and walls.

The Stealth Iron

From the archives of All things Ironing - Iron Design

Perhaps here is the solution to getting your man to enquire as to the purpose of  the strange device plugged into the power socket that makes the shirts look so good.

Yes, it is an Iron. But not as you know it.

This stealth jet inspired design by Nico Klaeber, from Koeln (Cologne), Germany transmogrifies the humble iron into a futuristic object that may convince those afflicted by selective domestic blindness to at least enquire to its purpose. Perhaps even consider 'having a go'. We live in hope.
