| Posted: 13 Apr 2010 09:01 AM PDT The hexagon is truly a powerful shape. Sure, triangle and circle may get all the press while hexagon sits in the back but its moment is coming to fruition. It’s a beautiful, symmetric shape; a balance between geometry and utility. It can be used in a number of designs that call upon the bridging of the two. Take the Hexis, a sleek silicone coaster with an inverse edge turned back on itself, providing the perfect resting spot for utensils. It’s minimal, stark, and modest but eye catching somehow. Love it. Colours available are white and charcoal grey in a matte finish. Dimensions: 14.4 cm x 12.5 cm x 0.5 cm Designer: Kitmen Keung        |
| Posted: 13 Apr 2010 08:55 AM PDT I have a vested interest in soft electronics, particular mixing hardware with textiles. It’s nothing new but we are getting closer and closer to wearable clothes and that excites me. Take for example the Skôn which means nice in Dutch and Swedish. The rim of the hoodie has a knitted variable resistor and varies when you play with it. The changing resistance value changes the intensity of the light. There’s something ethereal about this. Even tho summer’s approaching, it makes me feel all warm and cozy inside.

| Recharging With The Rubik’s Cube Posted: 13 Apr 2010 03:39 AM PDT We have seen the Rubik's Cube do a lot of stuff. In fact if you hit Rubik here, you get to see an MP3 Player, a Braille version and security codes. The Cube Magic here is a battery charger that works on the electro magnetic induction principles; play with the cube, harness some energy and covert it to juice for recharging gadgets. Awesome!

| Posted: 13 Apr 2010 03:06 AM PDT The SMART • E is a smart USB Extender that saves you the embarrassment of pulling out the wrong plug out of the hub. Imagine losing out precious data or function just coz you pulled the wrong plug! How lame! The practical dog-bone shape diversifies the sockets to the four ends and keeps the wires under control. Hopefully this won't stay a concept for too long. Designer: Emma Design Company     |
| Posted: 13 Apr 2010 12:18 AM PDT This is the plate right here. It’s got three plates, but it is also one plate. At the same time! At the exact same time, this plate is both one plate and three plates. How do you do!? You do so well, so well now that you’ve got this plate which separates all your foods into three in such a clever, clever way. You join your meal of several foods into one, yet the plates are not joined! Not joined until the food gathers together in a party in your stomach! Well no more. No more I say! Nay! You will have your three different pieces of food separate yet together before the mouth! Before the stomach, yes, before even the fork. And they were made by a riser. A riser in the world of French design, yes, Jean Marc Gady. What a designer, a designer of three plates in one plate. All together, in happiness. Made out of genuine space-plastic. NO! Actually made out of certified, glazed ceramic.

| Posted: 13 Apr 2010 12:12 AM PDT Yeah, that’s right, you could put some apples in there, and they wouldn’t even fall out! What am I even talking about, you might be asking. I am talking about the MOA Basket Series of Elastic Yarn, that’s what I’m talking about! It’s so radical you’ll quit knitting that sweater you were making for your grandma and you’ll START making that yarn skull you’ve always wanted to make. And it’ll stand upright! Not like those crappy floppy skulls you see down at the market. Nay! These ones are rigid. So what we’ve got here is some rather talented designer/artists who’ve got their hands on this excellent and most elastic yarn and they’re going crazy with it! They’ve got a cool little series going including a Paperbasket, a Magazinebasket and a Fruitbasket. The KEY is the resin. With it, they can make anything they can wrap their yarn around. It reminds me very much of paper mache, which of course is another fantastic art form with the key, resin. Marvel at these excellent sculptures!

| Posted: 13 Apr 2010 12:03 AM PDT What’s green, plastic, transparent, huge, possibly good for energy savings, and makes your house look like a spectacular amazing fun room designed by Pee Wee Herman? That’s right! It’s two new designs from Farsad Ghaffarian! One of them is a roof for your home made out of simple, rollable plastic. For energy savings. Then the other one, this one is the “GreenBox”, which is a springy plastic box made to suck cold air from the floor up into itself. Also for superior energy savings! You too can come on down to this supermarket of energy savings! The RolloRoof is a rollable transparent plastic roof for right above your head. The use of this is of course trapping warm air in the room at human level, so that we might feel it’s loveliness more than the spiders, who of course live at the peak of the room. Then there’s the GreenBox, which, being a springy plastic box, makes any room look like a really fortunate child’s room. But it’s not a toy! It’s function is to suck up cold air from the floor, keeping it inside itself so that the temperature of the room can be kept warm enough for comfort. Weird? Designer: Farsad Ghaffarian     |
