The position of time panel and buttons are ingeniously reversed for a fresh way to read time, giving its eponymous name – Reverse. You won’t find a side button, but a super large knock-sensor on the face. Users simply tap it to activate the EL backlight function that enables a glow below the button. Minimal design of the 3 hands allows only their tips to appear on the outer ring of the button for a new perspective in time. ----------        |

I adore the way the oak legs intimately meet into the table surface too. Although the description says two legs, I still see four – just not in the traditional sense. By increasing the surface area of the main support legs, you get stability. Designers: Shay Carmon and Ben Klinger ----------     |

I mean the Kinetic kind! The concept is this, for every incoming call, text, email or alarm, the phone gets super excited and gets…standing tall! Yup the brief was to make the phone as playful as possible…as if a vibration mode was not enough! And if it's not the right person calling or the alarm too soon…simply tap the phone back to deflate the …erection! Umm…cold shower won't do! On a more serious note, here's more info on the Nokia Kinetic – a seriously playful mobile phone for 2012. The reason behind the erection is an electromagnet in the base of the phone that allows a weight to be shifted, causing the phone to stand up. Digital information gets converted into kinetic movement! Other features include:

Although the user scenario suggested by the designer looks more tragic, like involving physical disabilities as well, I'm going to stick with just the basics. The device tracks your eye movement as Morse-code inputs and then voices it out as speech. One eye is dedicated to "dot" and the other to "dash". Aids like sentence completion and built-in Morse code learning, add value to the idea and make usage more independent. A well intended plan! Designer: Wonkook Lee ----------     |
| Just The Right Cover For My High-Heeled Shoes Posted: 28 Jul 2010 01:40 AM PDT  God help you if you live by the coast where drainage sucks, it’s puring like crazy and its high tide as well! To top it off, citizens callously litter the streets, which end up clogging the gutters! Sounds familiar to me coz I've lived through one of the worst city floods due to all of the above, hence the Smooth Cover for city drains sounds fantastic! The cover has slanted slits that are narrow enough to let the rain water pass through but keeps away the trash. And as you can see, they are perfect for those stiletto beauties, no more clipped heels for them! Hurray! Smooth Cover is an iF Concept Design 2010 winner!

| Posted: 28 Jul 2010 12:11 AM PDT  Industrial designer Jan Gielens creates a boat called “Breaking,” Yanko Design breaks a post about breaking. The people who read about Breaking have their nose-cartilages broken after having crammed them against their computer screens, and all is well. It’s a giant shape. It’s a tiny boat shaped like a boat you’ve never before seen, let me assure you. You’ll be cruising so hard in this Breaking boat you wont ever want to pilot one of those “old-timey” boats again. Cruise hard! This boat is a product of studies done by former lecturer (Agora department of Universidad Libre Las Colinas) Jan Gielens. The first of these studies dates all the way back to the 1980s. This vehicle is designed based on sound fluid mechanic principles, using a series of aero and hydrodynamic properties thatmake this boat go very very fast. The specifics aren’t tabulated yet for actual speed, but with the low motor capacity, aerodynamic nature, and static air cushion it creates, Breaking completely avoids “plowing through” waves and “bult sleep” (which, when translated from Dutch, of course means “hump drag.”) Think starfighters used in Revenge of the Jedi. Tiny, made for short distances, perfectly powerful. Made to be used like a sharp knife. Designer: Jan Gielens ----------     |
| Posted: 28 Jul 2010 12:07 AM PDT  This is the fattest of all the iPhone covers. If you know of a fatter one, I challenge it to a duel! This project/product is called ARKHIPPO and is from the ARK system of coverups, this one dealing specifically in iPhone covering and protecting and standing up. Yes ineedy! Not only does this huge hunk of resin protect your fragile bit of technology, it allows it to both stand on its own and sit in the crook of your neck for easy phonecall use. See the pic for this classic phone pose lost to most modern ’smarts. All the colors you desire, lovingly produced to huge proportions, and if you find yourself stranded on a desert island, acts as a pillow for your rock-weary head. Survival gear ho! Dimension: Height 170, Width 83, and Depth 50 Designer: HaA Design ----------     |

Inside can also fit all the equipment you’d need to DJ, headphones, CDs, plates, and other DJ gear. It’s what designer Raphael Vivier calls a “mobile disco” and I’m inclined to agree. Wheels of steel on tiny wheels for easy transport. Whenever you put the PIONEER logo on your project, you instantly have a lot to live up to. My favorite Pioneer product isn’t sound equipment at all but a movie, the perfectly classic anime film “AKIRA.” There’s something forever futuristic because of its perfect aesthetic, simple, colorful yet simple, sharp, amazing. This turntable situation right here is taking up that mantle and busting out with an amazing product. High five for functionality inside perfect simplicity, all the while obviously very prepared to release some fabulous beats. Designer: Raphael Vivier ----------     |
