| Posted: 30 Jul 2010 09:43 AM PDT  By roughly tracing the structure of everyone’s favorite surprise during winter, designer Sylvain Gerber created the Snowflake Speaker. Inspired by JBL’s years of audio expertise, he’s created something that visually contours the idea of clean sound – as pure as snow.There are no fancy covers or meshing. The speaker is stripped bare revealing all the intricate membranes highlighted by an eery glow. Technically the design is simple to execute by integrating the latest in flat membrane audio technology hiding all the electronics in the bottom of the speaker.

| Posted: 30 Jul 2010 09:38 AM PDT  Designer Cho Hyung Suk has an affinity for bicycle chains – for their utilitarian function and seemingly beauty. The B-Chain Lamp spins the bike chain into a new kind of object, one that is rigid enough to pose a light into various positions. There’s something oddly anthropomorphic about this design – maybe because it halfway reminds me of the Pixar Lamp. Size: 230*170*220(H) Designer: Cho Hyung Suk ----------     |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2010 03:21 AM PDT  Our virtual hand has gotten pretty innovative in real life and the credit for this goes to all those concept ideas that seemed pretty outlandish at first. I'm talking about the mighty mouse! From bare minimum functions to creatively complicated, the computer mouse has evolved in its stature. Here is a recap on the Ten Most Creative Mouse Concepts that have been showcased on Yanko Design. 10) OM Wireless Optical Mouse by Lukasz Natkaniec OM is an optical mouse that is slim and wireless. It measures only 10mm at the highest point and sports an extra-wide body to cover up your palm. Stripping the mouse of all is fuss, the Bendy M gives us the basic device that's actually a long strip fashioned to the "infinite-sign-shape". It doesn't promise too much on grip tho and is merely a handy tool for the travelers who always complain about carrying bulky devices. No hands, no problems! The mouse improvises its form to fit the clutch of your toes! Especially been designed for folks with upper limb disabilities. 7) G-Spot Mouse by Andy Kurovets Creatively naughty Andy Kurovets should have been a sex-toy designer, but the good lad thinks mouse and sex can lead to a heady cocktail! And he is right! The G-Spot mouse has a sweet spot that takes you directly to your favorite website….true to man-style no foreplay here as well! I simply adore the eVouse's form. Now I don't know how practical it will be while holding it as a pen to render works on the computer, but its glossy pictures suggest a refreshing new form for the drab black blob sitting on my desk currently! 5) Wooden Mouse by Alest Rukov Exploring different materials to use to manufacture a mouse can be creative as well. The Wooden Mouse here is a perfect example. 4) Apple Slim Mouse by Tryi Yeh Smooth and cutting edge as the original Apple form, this creative version looks awesome in the aluminum avatar. It switches between trackball (400dpi) and laser (1600dpi) with a micro adjustment and can be manufactured in a glossy plastic version as well. Apple's hockey puck style mouse did not find favors with many, but designer Miji Rhoe still chose to explore this form. The result was a mouse which included built-in memory storage; the flip side was wires and portability. Nevertheless a creative idea! 2) Jelly Click Mouse by Bongkun Shin, Heungkyo Seo, Jiwoong Hwang & Wooteik Lim The most unusual of the lot is this Jelly Click Mouse. With child-like excitement you inflate the mouse to use. Too bad it's just a concept! 1) iContact by Eun-Gyeong Gwon & Eun-Jae Lee It's not hard to fathom a time in the future where you insert a contact lens into your eye and this in fact is the mouse. The logistics to get the iContact working efficiently could be an engineer's nightmare, but that shouldn't limit the creativity of a product designer! ----------     |
| Sponges And Greens Get Thirsty…. Posted: 30 Jul 2010 01:51 AM PDT  …for the splatter of rain-soaked umbrellas! The Lawn For Rain is a really neat dish that has a dash of green springs at the bottom of the tray and huge sponge fingers. The idea is to mesh your wet umbrellas between the sponge fingers so that they soak in the water and dry it. The tiny plants at the bottom are kept hydrated via the excess drained water. Personally I think it's a cute idea, but for cities like mine, where monsoons create havoc only for three months in a year, the poor plants would die of thirst later! Designers: Cun-Min Zheng, Yan-Zhen Li & Xin-Yu Wang ----------     |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2010 12:10 AM PDT  Two objects, both by Vital Steel NYC, both made for dividing up rooms without major construction work. One of them is called UNA, the other ANDRA. First “Una” is floor-to-ceiling single panel room divider, then Andra is a three panel free-standing room divider. Both of them are constructed of laser cut steel and hand blown glass. Vital Steel NYC is a new business made by a husband and wife by the names Robbin and Benno. Vital Steel NYC is a design studio for modern steel and hand-blown glass room dividers and screens. Wild!

| Posted: 30 Jul 2010 12:08 AM PDT  It’s not random chance that I, a resident of my state, should be allowed to do a writeup on this lovely graffiti furniture. I live in Minnesota, USA, a state where graffiti is almost exclusively under, behind, or inside of things. You won’t find much of any graffiti out on the streets, only under train bridges, behind doors, and in alleys. Similar is the nature of this collection of furniture: “Awake Your Inner Vandal,” which designed by Ilan Dei is comprised of three lovely, surprising bits. “Namibia Credenza – Evolution Revolution” is a lovely wooden cabinet with two large surprises. In the left set of doors you will find the word “EVOLUTION” written in giant graffiti lettering, in the right, “REVOLUTION,” all of it in wild, powerful colors. “Namibia Side Table Aquatic Life” is a circular side table with a mirror that reveals not just the bottom of the table, but, what’s that? Some super cute koi fishies! “Namibia Console” is the simplest table of the three, this one with a very simple accent around the inside of the rim of the base of the table. Around this rim are some rather abstract graffiti shapes in gray tones. Designer: Ilan Dei ----------     |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2010 12:07 AM PDT  Hello check it out! This is a roundup post collecting an array of lighting instruments (lamps, if you will,) as created by Brand van Egmond. This design label is a/THE pioneer in Dutch ‘Haute Couture lighting design. Designers William Brand and Annet van Egmond founded Brand van Egmond in 1989 with the “sole intention to create art without restraints.” And then there were lamps. Devour the lit gallery below, now with bonus seats! “Broom” is the “catwalk” model lamp in this collection. Made for office environments and contemporary lounge interiors. “Coco” is not a late night comedy host. Coco is instead a sophisticated lamp with “Eyes Wide Shut” features and an enchanting feminine silhouette. Strings of black and clear crystals make up the bulk of this lover. “Digital Dreams” is a lighting sculpture, using the personalized power of photos which you insert to illuminate your living space. “Flower Power” is one of two bits in this collection that it work perfectly fine without lights. Laser cut steel plates made into flowery shapes. Made for lounging. “La Vie en Rose” is a flexible system of rose-shaped sculptures with which you can create a bouquet of flowers with crystals. “Woodstock Sitting Object” is another sitting object and the last in this roundup. Big, curled, curved and tangled iron. Nickel plated, powder coated white or powder coated black. High gloss polished. Designer: Brand van Egmond ----------     |
