Posted: 23 Mar 2010 05:05 AM PDT There are benefits to nurturing this digital flowerpot called Bionic Humidifier. As you guessed it, proper care (regular top-ups of water) will ensure a healthy environment for your space. Tardy persons will be greeted with a dead, limp digital flower, which would have otherwise been blooming and humidifying the room! Designer: Gonglue Jiang |
Posted: 23 Mar 2010 04:39 AM PDT What do you think this is? Hint….literally speaking it keeps the doctor away, but what it holds is a pot full of paradise! Apple Teapot! That's what this is! A radical re design in the teapot sector. Why? Because filled to the brim teapots can get heavy, and old people and young-ones will enjoy the pivot-roll action this one offers. No ill-spills and contemporary art on your kitchen counter – how cool is that? Designer: Sungkuk Park |
Posted: 23 Mar 2010 12:15 AM PDT Look at that face. That’s a face you cannot escape. Looks like of like a labyrinth doesn’t it? Actually it’s based more around the swinging of the Earth around the Sun, and the Moon around the Earth, and the bird flying around my head. GET OUTTA HERE YA BIRD! And it looks so nice! It’s got no numbers, no hands, but it’s got a time about it, doesn’t it? Look at it for a moment, and you’ll see quite easily how you’re gonna know where you are in this continuum. And decide you must, how to serve yourself best: black leather or steel mesh! It’s called the “Free Time Watch!” Each of the 3 concentric circles has a different rotation, the center telling the seconds, the middle the minutes, and the outer ring of course then telling the hours. And if you take it all apart and put it in some lenses, you could make x-ray specs! Also take a look at the rest of the Projects watches, they’re hip!

Posted: 23 Mar 2010 12:10 AM PDT Alright eco-force! Get ready! It’s time to turn Coca Cola into…whaaa? An Earth-friendly means of distributing 20oz of soda! Coke’s always been a sort of futuristic thinking brand, but this would be a big fat huge giant leap forward in the right direction if I do say so myself. It’s a design for a much more reasonable, smart, ergonomic, and gosh darnit, it just looks lovely. It’s so green, it’s 100% plant based. It’s made out of greens! And it’s much more stackable. And cooler! I’ve overexcited myself. I need a cool, refreshing Pepsi. While I write this: The cap is 25% slimmer than the current 20oz bottle, and 27% more efficient because of its drastically reduced footprint. Something I didn’t know about the current PET bottle is it’s 100% recyclable, but that only about 50% of the bottles distributed get recycled. (I would have thought that not nearly that many were reused, I see bottles everywhere all the time.) The bottle you see here is more collapsable than the current one though, encouraging more recycling due to ease in transport. The bottle collapses 66% smaller than its original size. You’re much more likely to hold on to a bottle for later recycling if you can carry it in your pocket. And the 100% plant make? This bottle is made of 100% sugar cane byproducts. I don’t think it’s as sweet as the good parts of the cane though, just neat. And I’d better mention again: it’s so stackable! Designer: Andrew Kim |
Posted: 23 Mar 2010 12:02 AM PDT Or more specifically, a small armchair. Designers at Sand & Birch Luxury Design have designed this lovely little thing by the name of “Smile.” S&B pride themselves in being known as designers who take a special amount of time and effort in choosing their shapes and materials so as to create not just seats, but sculptural furniture. With this Smile chair, they took a stab at clashing what they find great in both fullness and compact design. Smoothness, niceness, a big set of chompers. Actually no chompers. I hope a big set of chompers pillows could be added. Maybe custom! In reality, the chair is to take on the shape and the feeling of a smile. It’s meant to be ironic and elegant, young and fresh. It’ll come eventually in blue or white, made up of varnished polyurethane, or the special edition which will have a nice cushion and will be covered in velvet, cotton and silk, colors in gray and white. You know which one I want. I’m here for the lounge. Designer: Sand & Birch Luxury Design |
Design a LG Phone That’s Not Too Futuristic! Posted: 22 Mar 2010 10:43 AM PDT LG, Autodesk, and crowdSPRING in the same breath can mean only one thing: Time to participate in LG's Design The Future Competition. This year there is a certain twist in the tale, so do you consider yourself a designer up for a real-world challenge? There is little room for speculation because you need to design a revolutionary mobile device that will appeal to the cellphone-generation of United States, 2-3 years down the line. Drawing up a long list of specs will get you nowhere, but illustrating an innovative new experience or story on a 1024 x 3072 pixels page can win you some real handsome booty. There's even a chance to have your design be made into a non-working mock-up by guest judge Russell Bobbitt, a world renowned movie prop master (Star Trek, Iron Man and Iron Man 2). Imagine seeing your mock-up in Bobbitt's next blockbuster film. How cool would that be? Competition Details Eligibility: Any U.S. resident (citizen or green card holder) that is 18 years (or age of majority in state of residence) and older. Start and End Dates: The competition began on March 15, 2010, at 12 a.m. PST and ends on April 26, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. PST. Winners will be announced on May 14, 2010 at www.crowdspring.com/LG/winners. Prizes:
