The pram adjusts to different heights and seat positions facilitating different activities from sleeping to eating. The trapezial wheel distribution offers greater mobility in small places without losing stability. The base of the chair turns 180° and a pendulum compensates for the irregurality of sidewalks. We’re talkin’ a smooth ass ride here people. I’m almost jealous of babies. “Walk on Air” won an iF Concept Design 2010 Award Designers: Fabio Yuji Matsuda and Leonardo Hatamura ----------        |
| Posted: 21 Jul 2010 08:16 AM PDT  Kök is a flat-pack chair inspired from a blue chair, a common staple in Mediterranean and Aegean culture. Simple to make and easy to assemble, no adhesives or complicated joints. From my understanding, the weight of someone sitting reinforces the tension at the joints making the bond even stronger.

| Posted: 21 Jul 2010 04:52 AM PDT  Just like "Whose Line is it Anyways", two million points for guessing what this is! No prize money, but a big round of applause from us! Hint: It’s not a TREE! The Toaster Tree….it's got fancy transparent leaves that hold your bread, till they are done. Transparent nano-electric membrane technology is what the designer cites in support of the crisping/browning element; I simply adore the thought of a leaf-pattern singed to my toast. Please someone remove the kinks and flaws (in design and tech) to make me a happy Toaster Tree! Designer: Xu Yanxiang ----------     |
| Posted: 21 Jul 2010 04:23 AM PDT  At first glance you can easily mistake the Toolip for a hand blender, but surprise-surprise, it's a hand-held heating rod! Yup, the sorts that can be used to make a cuppa coffee or re-heat baby's food. A sleek panel on the handle sports the display, which tells you the stats like temperature and a red button at its base, releases the element so that you can wash it separately. Apparently the Toolip heats up faster than your regular electric kettle and hardly displaces any liquid during this process. It's been designed to be used in any container that has a diameter of at least 3" and a filling height of at least 2". Designer: Anja von Oppeln ----------     |
| Posted: 21 Jul 2010 12:16 AM PDT  A fabulous design comes to my internet doorstep today, Amar Vaya, a designer who takes extra philosophical time in designing a car, one called Axiom in this case. Branded with the Audi name, the Axiom is an exercise in emphasizing the idea of “beauty” within the tradition of Audi’s idiom. What’s that mean? It means it’s gotta look like an Audi. People HAVE to know that it’s an Audi when they first peek at it. But right before or right after that, their next thought has to be “wow, that is quite the sight to behold, wouldn’t you say so? Yes, yes I would.” Has Amar Vaya done it? Let’s take a look here. Vaya notes that success and progress through technology are tenants of the Audi brand, indeed that is one of the main driving forces behind them. Through this, Vaya promotes the Axiom as hope through progress, a freedom or refuge from an uncertain world as you sit inside a shell of futurism. The second area where Vaya explores beauty through Audi is time. Through what Vaya describes as the “history, wisdom, knowledge, and legacy” of Audi especially through their design and technological advances, the Axiom describes all of this aesthetically. Power, agility, beauty, Audi. Hotness, Vaya. Designer: Amar Vaya ----------     |
| Five Weapons of Such Devious Design Posted: 21 Jul 2010 12:10 AM PDT  Let me show you these fantastic toy weapons. Made by designer Shira Nahon for the ever-narrowing line between adults and children. Simplicity both masks and IS the genius in these fantabulous destructors. In this project you will find the Clip Gun, the Beak, the BoomBall, the Rubber, and the OneShot. All of them truly rockin. This set of objects goes by the sound children young and old will make with them: “PIU PIU!” ClipGun : here’s one you may remember, as the laundry clip on a stick design has been around for quite a few years. I remember wanting something like this when I was about 10 years old, wanting it SO BAD. This one’s a bit more refined, incorporating the clip into the stick. One less ingredient – a designer’s most basic goal. Beak: What! A paper airplane? No way. This is a stainless STEEL airplane. Made to fly… right into your neighbors eye. BoomBall: A boomerang-like device which is made of strips of thin, flexible steel. You might remember these strips as “slap bracelets.” When this crazy object makes contact with any other solid object, it curls up into a sphere (if you’re lucky, it ensnares the target object inside!) Very wild. Rubber: Not THAT kind of rubber. This Rubber is packaged as the rubber sling part of a slingshot only, encouraging the user to find their own perfect bit of tree branch to shoot with. OneShot: A single metal rod twisted and turned into an ingenious neu-form rubber band shooter. Totally and completely intuitive. So simple, a baby could fire it. Two of each, please! Thanks. Wee!

| Posted: 21 Jul 2010 12:01 AM PDT  That’s what it is! That’s what’s going on here. It’s a fantabulous audio system and it’s totally amazing and it’s totally big time. Big time I say! It’s the Vocia Red-1, Vocia DSP Servers, and Vocia WR-1. What you need for that next album from your favorite band… I dunno, what do you listen to.. let’s say SLAYER. You can slay all night long with this super combo from James Owen Design and Biamp. Big bad boom bap powerhousers. The Vocio RED-1 has the super-simple interface and the OLED display. Hot, simple, sassy. All in one piece for easy cleaning. Look familiar? The Vocia DSP Servers are rack mounted digital signal processors made to “move some metal.” Lazer-cut silver metallic airflow baffles and stainless steel cap screws for better airflow and lack of ugliness! The Vocia WR-1 is a wall-mounted controller made specifically for the Vocia line of DSP servers – again, simple and pretty. I’d have put this in my all-wood-floor apartment for sure. Maybe now if I buy a bathhouse it’d look really super in there. Turn it up! Designer: James Owen Design and Biamp ----------     |
