| Solo Storage Box Is Dizzyingly Awesome Posted: 02 Aug 2010 09:08 AM PDT  Solo is a playfully interactive storage box with randomly placed cubes as handles totaling 36 drawers in varying lengths. The drawers are strategically placed to maximize storage. Inspired by architecture and typography, the design has even spawned its own eponymous font. I love how the piece demands attention. It’s bold but still tasteful. It looks like something the Riddler would have in his lair – a brain teaser just to find where you placed your socks. Designer: Franck Tawema ----------        |
| Stream Music From A Floating iPod Posted: 02 Aug 2010 09:00 AM PDT  The Wireless Streaming Music Centre has an auspicious design (check floating iPod Touch) which could work in its favor among a sea of “me too” competitors. Like other systems on the market, it streams music, connects to your iPod and computer and daisy chains with other units should you want to expand the system. The difference is it also has a hard drive to potentially store music right in the unit. ----------     |
| Posted: 02 Aug 2010 04:10 AM PDT  If I were to pick out 5 quirky ways to brew my java, I'd pick the Cemented Joy, Coffee Stick, Finger Cup, Wooden Passion and the Racepresso! The last one being a new addition needs special mention. Schumi's pet Ferrari branding and Nespresso cross breading is evident in this helmet-styled coffee machine. But what gives me the kicks, is that it will fit perfectly into retro-styled interiors…from the 70's-80's era where it was all about having loud, faux-branded unique collectables! So very Kitsch! I'm all ears to hear what you guys think about the machine, but in case you feel like giving a shout-out to Ilgar, go ahead and mail him at racespresso@helvetico.com Designer: Ilgar Rustamov ----------     |
| Posted: 02 Aug 2010 03:13 AM PDT  As grown-ups we are mature enough to deal with stress and fears in an adult fashion. But with children it's a different rationale. You never know what situations may trigger fear and what objects may give comfort. To cope with growing pains of children aged between 6 and 9, is this unique toy called Echo. Modeled on the lines of the string-phone, the toy has an acoustic pipe running from its ear to its belly, so that they can tell it secrets for safe keeping. Naturally the voice gets modified in the belly, creating unique sound effects of a conversation. Echo has a small pocket on its side, to keep emotional objects like pictures etc. How thoughtful! I'm sure as a child many of you must have been attached to some toy or a comforter for security. Mine was this old tattered doll that I used to carry everywhere! She was my best friend and I used to play teacher for her! What was yours…care to share? Designer: Emi Schenkelbach ----------     |

| Posted: 02 Aug 2010 12:13 AM PDT  Oh yes! A lovely new bike. ASI Kestrel hired Anvil Studios to design a fabulous new carbon filter Time Trial bike. Collaborating with design consultant Sean Horita they’ve made this “4000LTD.” It’s a really nice lookin bike, I gotta say. It’s high-end, integrates molded-composite features with “cutting-edge aesthetic identity”, and both empowers and expands the identity of the Kestrel brand. Kestrel’s legacy is that of a “brutal expression of forward motion.” That’s pretty hardcore. This bike is so hardcore in that capsule of energy that it was code-named “Ginsu.” The top tube connecting the seat and the head is “ruthlessly horizontal.” Bike design is serious business! Each of several of the tube profiles taper to knife-sharp trailing edges letting the user know they’re rolling on a bike with high technicality and craftsmanship. The final name for codename Ginsu is “4000LTD.” Rough! Designer: Anvil Studios for ASI | Kestrel ----------     |
| Posted: 02 Aug 2010 12:04 AM PDT  In an effort to bring the environmental movement above the clouds, Thomas Tzortzi’s designed an airship for the world. Tzortzi concentrated on the culture of tourism prevalent throughout the entire world, airplanes rocking and rolling above the stratus, creating what’s undoubtedly an unnecessary pollution. This airship also aims to lie on the design line between art and science, working it hard in both form and function. “How can Design; Inform, Inspire, Provoke, social and environmental solutions?” That’s Tzortzi’s question here, and this airship’s his major stab at a solution. Of course there is no one answer, and there is no perfect solution, but look here, this airship’s a severely magical amalgamation. It’s like a fantastic whale creature looking to carry you across the clouds. This airship seats 8. Eight exclusive, luxury seeking, super rich folks. Tzortzi notes: “This may seem out of context with a project that features high social and environmental consideration, but it is Designed to create aspiration for Airships to be brought back practically.” The airship travels at a slow speed, providing time for passengers to enjoy their trip and see the sights they’d otherwise not have time to take in from on high. Solar power panels spread across the top of the ship, the ship full of helium, no harm is done in this transport in the least. There’s a viewing capsule in the gondola, a sundeck across the top of the ship, and a viewing room in the nose of the structure. Built by local engineers, constructed with local materials.

| Posted: 02 Aug 2010 12:03 AM PDT  This mouse looks basically just like a hand. It is what’s called “ergonomic,” if you know what I mean. It’s the “G50 Vanguard”, a mouse made both to combat major causes of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) and to be aesthetically pleasing to PC gamers. The hand goes on the mouse, the mouse works with the CPU. Months of solid foam model studies were done to find the best combo of fronts to fight RSI with this mouse, and a BUNCH of buttons were added to tend to the gamers. But where’s the scroll wheel?! It’s sorta still there because it’s kinda needed in some way or another, but where it’s been up until now has been terrible for the finger due to the unnatural finger arc movement. Instead the thumb rest is the new location for the scroll track and bar. The track does the same thing as the wheel did, but works more like a treadmill track. Like all the other controls, this track is full customizable as to the functions it activates. And you know how it’s a hand? It raises the entirety of your hand off the table and reduces wrist anchoring and finger clamping, two big causes of RSI. The total amount of buttons on the mouse is 11, that’s ELEVEN clickable controls with the option of a mappable function button which then increases that number to 23. All buttons have been ergonomically designed and located to keep with the fabulous anti-RSI theme of the whole mouse. Hand mouse! Activate! Designer: Damien Crossan ----------     |
