| Posted: 17 Aug 2010 09:08 AM PDT  I’m in love with this electric kettle serving set called Friend’s Coffee. The designer wanted to keep it simple and tame the design aesthetics of traditional hot drink sets. The result is a monolithic design; a kettle and 4 serving mugs all set on a large load tray. The tray can be unplugged at anytime to be properly served from. Beautiful design. Designer: Cohen Roey ----------        |

I don't mean to be rude, but let's face some facts here; dripping a beverage while drinking your cuppa is so uncool. This why you need to add a dash of sophistication in your crockery. and see how deftly you can wipe away the drops of liquid without any fuss. Clumsy! A ceramic tea/coffee cup and saucer set that incorporates a dishcloth into the saucer design. Eccentric more than classic, what do you think? Designer: Olga Kravchenko ----------     |
| PET Bottles To The Oil Spill Rescue Posted: 17 Aug 2010 01:00 AM PDT  A Picture Perfect photo of Barack Obama swimming with his daughter in Florida is not the answer to oil spills! It takes more than that to contain the damage and get the affected areas back to their feet. A moment of thought goes out to the Oil Fence here, which is made from recycled PET Plastic bottles, fitted with special rubber caps on both ends. The logic is to reuse the trashed bottles for a greater good like containing spills without adding burden to the environment. The color scheme of orange and yellow, sure makes it look bright and cheery against the black slick of oil! Designer: Min A Namgung ----------     |
| Wind Powered Auto by the Shore Posted: 17 Aug 2010 12:16 AM PDT  So you’re sitting there, trying to think of ways to power cars, and you think “hmmm, I wonder if I could make a car that’s powered by air?” That’s silly! You think, gosh, it’d work if only there were a constant source of wind. Right? Well hold on there, maybe if you shore up your thinking a little bit, so to speak, and place this car in only one specific location: the line of land near the ocean, from whens the wind almost continuously blows. How about that? The following project is called “Kazaguruma” – it’s a wind force mobility project which employs the wind using an automobile that can utilize it in an extraordinary way. Air resistance and dynamic lift make this car go quite speedily. And it works! It’s tested on a small scale, you can see it in the video below. This all has to do with the Magnus effect. In a nutshell, it has to do with the spinning of fan in the back creating a whirlwind effect, and that force resulting in the forward motion of the entire vehicle. The Kazaguruma – Wind Force Mobility is an entry for the James Dyson Awards. Designer: Ippei Iwahara ----------     |
| Posted: 17 Aug 2010 12:09 AM PDT  You know the feeling. “Why can’t I just design around this? Does this object REALLY need this part to function?” That’s what designer Dallas Winspear asked of the common, everyday sink. “Does it need this ugly drainage hole?” he asked, and the answer was (and is!) no. No way! Design around it! Heck, design headfirst into it. This is “Lavinia”, a sink made of Corian or other high density polymer with a plugging mechanism recessed into the body of the sink, completely changing the dynamic of how the water exits. The secret of this wonderful contraption is in rare earth magnets and two silicone rubber strips. The sink can be drained without putting your hand underwater, and can be made in any combination of colors. I choose purple! This project is a Reece Bathroom Innovations Award Finalist.

| Posted: 17 Aug 2010 12:05 AM PDT  For those who’ve been in a position to use crutches since they were a wee little person, a single size or even a traditional “adjustable size” crutch isn’t as awesome as it could be. Consider the following, if you will: “Lifelong Crutches” by Boemsik, Eunsil, Soonho, Bomi, and Bohyuk. These’ve thought of it all, including a circular bottom to due away with that pesky crutch-in-drainpipe situation, and buttons, switches, and slides that can adjust for any size and shape person. And look at that lovely handhold there. What a fabulous 12 degrees. Then of course, as with all modern transportation, replaceable plug-n-play parts and collapsibility are the crowning features on this contraption. Designers: Boemsik Yoon, Eunsil Mok, Soonho Jung, Bomi Kim, and Bohyuk Im ----------     |
