 I found the awesome exihibition about Japanes design of household products, hope this is helpful for you.

 

"This exhibition of over 75 objects showcases the finest Japanese design of household products from the 1950s to the present-day. These selected modern designs provide a glimpse into the hopes and dreams of the people who used the products, as well as the designers and corporations who created them. This exhibition illustrates the trends and features of Japanese design at specific time periods, allowing a unique perspective into today’s Japanese design culture."

architecture website

This is a website that I found and thought was really cool. It's more of an architecture website but also has some really well designed furniture and other industrial products. http://www.trendir.com/

Reactable

Reactable is a revolutionary electronic musical instrument. It allows people to create electronic music by interacting with various objects, which interact with each other to create music. Objects can be placed on the table and can be manipulated by the user by bringing them closer to other objects, changing their orientation, or using various gestures to change the objects settings. The objects interactions then produce music and you are provided with visual feedback on the table/screen to show how the objects are interacting.
