  Remember when photos had to be developed? That was just a few years back, but, somehow, it seems like it was decades ago. Digital cameras have made life a lot easier for us and nowadays anyone can take a decent photograph. However, there was a time when you had to have considerable technical knowledge in order to obtain a perfect photo.

The Sténoflex is a cardboard box that's basically a simplified version of the photographic process, from the first stage to the very last (capturing the photo, storing it and developing it).

  Last Christmas one product on Curiosite broke all sorts of records. Beyond a doubt, the most original gift was the Slanket, that blanket with sleeves that an American student came up with as a way of enduring the cold in his unheated apartment.
