[...] I love English Russia and today’s Russian Contemporary Design post is a great one. Some really cool stuff there. I especially like the “Delete Key” eraser and the USB drive that expands in size as it fills up with data. [...]
Those are some cool designs! Are any of those items for sale yet? I’d like to get the Delete key eraser, or the chocolate keyboard.

why no Orthodox cross mp3 player?
The glasses are great!!
I’m almost 100% sure that I’ve seen that bookshelf in Prague a good two years ago, or at least something with the same overall feel… That car would make a badass roadster if they just lost the top.
It is the first good post from English Russia.
glasses are really interesting. the car reminds me of the one in IRobot.
Are you sure it is an LCD keyboard. I think you mean LCD key chain. Is it used to hold keys for a house or to drive a vehicle?
I want some of those wings for my office chair.
The watch is the best. I would give it an award myself if i had one lying around
The mini keyboard is in fact no LCD keyboard but an OLED keyboard. While this keyboard actually is sold, a much cooler version is currently only in prototype state. Check Optimus keyboard. The design studio is Art.Lebedev.
The small keyboard is actually an OLED (not an LCD) keyboard. It is made and sold by Art.Lebedev studios. They have a much cooler complete keyboard in the making: Optimus

Wow, I’d surely buy the erasers and the clock and the keyring and that usb-thingy….

[...] There are one or two nice pieces of design in this one article. I like the car, the USB flash drive, the glasses and the chocolate keyboard. But all are good pieces of design and I wish the designers all the luck they can get. [...]
The glasses are pretty much a copy of a design of a friend of mine, something he made a few years ago actually:
