Futuristic Eco Kegs
The Kegstand
Why the hell hasn't this been thought of before? Seriously! Frequent party-throwers will want to invest in one of these: The Kegstand. Designed by Kaleidoscope, a product development consultancy in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Kegstand is a fancy trashcan on wheels. The redesign considered transportation, maintenance, and entertainment. It has wheels, a set of handles, cup holders and a plug for drainage. Also, the Kegstand comes in two pieces that fit together to surround the keg rather than having to lift the thing into a trashcan. This gets my vote for the design/product of 2008. Good job, guys.
