This Is Not Braille Rubik

Posted: 26 Jul 2010 03:36 AM PDT

On two occasions we have showcased how to keep our blind friends entertained. It’s been Rubiks all this while, but if they crave something different then here is something more challenging; The Huarong! It's an ancient Chinese game of intellectual toys which includes judgment of textures and sense of shapes. I wouldn't want to dilute the explanation to the game, so I have left it intact for you to read in the accompanying pictures. Have a look….

Bubble Wash For Hands

Posted: 26 Jul 2010 03:05 AM PDT

Liquid soaps have taken over the sanitary scene with a vengeance, seldom you find people washing hands with a soap-cake. It's the obvious choice even in public restrooms. However to provoke a conscientious mind, the trio designers have devised the Re-Bubble Soap Dispenser. It's a dispenser meant for public toilets, where people bring in their old-not-so-sudsy-soaps and insert them into a grinding slot. Giving the discarded soaps a new lease of life, the granulated suds now offer you a hygienic wash in the swanky new liquefied bubbly avatar! Only thing, remember to carry soap-cakes first!

Designers: WooJae Lee, MinSu Kim & WoongKi Kim

Coiled Up In The Dryer

Posted: 26 Jul 2010 02:29 AM PDT

The hair dryer is a fine instrument and does its job well but its design has stagnated. What designers usually tackle is the form of the dryer and forget the hanging wire and its storage. Dryerhair is a blow-dryer that features an elongated backend….kinda like an extra housing space to coil in the wire. Although the form is pretty rigid, it's a good design that makes it compact when storing in a cupboard or a drawer. People may question the heat of the blower affecting the tailending wire, but I doubt that's much of a concern.

A Whole New Toast Direction

Posted: 26 Jul 2010 12:14 AM PDT

In what direction would you like your toast to come at ya from? Here at Yanko, we encourage the research of all directions of food, especially foods that at some point or another in their creation spews forth from its creator, in this case, the toast and the toaster. The “moolEdge” uses a system of sliding plates to create an environment in which hot fried breads can be created without the need for mechanic parts. Easy to work, easy to clean, easy to toast with.

Hey! A whole new way to toast? Yes please! Take a peek at the VERY EPIC video here below to see the moolEdge in action, then give some hot feedback to Atıl Kızılbayır, the designer of this lovely invention.

And give him props for the continuation of toasted bread research, a field that should never, ever stop being innovated upon.

Designer: Atıl Kızılbayır

Mister Tastee’s Tricycle

Posted: 26 Jul 2010 12:04 AM PDT

This right here is a solar powered cooling machine. It’s a cooling container that cyclists can use to store chilled products, made to work independent of any service supply. “The hotter the day, the cooler the ice cream.” Solar panels imbedded in a membrane, connected to solar charge regulators, using wires situated within the panels, generate around 35W on a sunny day. Keepin them cones cool with the power of the sun. Super poetic and scrumptious.

This “Solar Cool” cart features a removable cooling unit so that it can be charged from a separate supply during the night. The cooler requires about 64W “every few hours” to keep the temperature standard. The tank for storage of cold goods is approximately 40 liters.

Modified tricycle frame made of steel and is extended to accommodate the solar membrane and support the cooling unit. Reversible seat, canape, and side panels suitable for banners.

Designer: Aija Golubeva

Presto Furniture Change-o!

Posted: 26 Jul 2010 12:03 AM PDT

This project goes by the name “ReStyle.” It is not a singular bit a furniture, but a collection which goes together, comes apart, works together, and works apart. It flips and floops and turns and sits in any number of configurations limited only by your own mind (and in some cases, the physical universe). What will you do with such a system of objects? Basically everything? Or will you set it one way and use it that way forever? It is a journey for a strong furniture loving heart.

ReStyle aims to be forever useful, “Longevity through versatility” is one of its credo verses. These are too:

ReStyle is a compact coffee table cluster.
ReStyle is two tables, two chairs
ReStyle is storage.
ReStyle is a desk, a seat, and a book-shelf.
ReStyle is a child's dining table.
ReStyle is a TV and games unit.
ReStyle is a playground for children.
ReStyle is versatile.
ReStyle is sustainable.
ReStyle is whatever you want it to be.

Having just moved into a new apartment, having just moved furniture and entirely too much physical loot from one place to another not knowing what’s going to happen in this new environment I say yes, instantly, this ReStyle system has got to be somehow a great big yes in the futures of hip nomads. It’d be so great to not have to change furniture (buy and sell or trash) each time one moves due to changing space and junk requirements. Having items that sit on their head or their side… that’s just smart.

BONUS – I must tell you that this project (ReStyle) reminds me very much of the first project I ever had the privilege of writing about here at Yanko Design – Brian Lee’s Chubby Brothers Hidden Chairs Dinner Table. Similar vein!

Designer: James Howlett
