Deez Nuts

Posted: 18 Aug 2010 09:01 AM PDT

A studio project that ended up challenging the way we crack a nut, redefining the idea of a nutcracker. The conventional nutcracker tool places a huge strain on the hands when in use, with sometimes non too satisfactory results. This Nutcracker! addresses the issue with the idea of a falling weight to crack the nut open. Really fun to use and squirrel approved.

QWERTY Keyboard For iPhone, For Real!

Posted: 18 Aug 2010 05:12 AM PDT

I've always had a problem with typing fast and accurately with my iPhone, and like most Indian users who use local lingo in our English messages; the auto dictionary for misspellings is no help. So it had to be a fellow Indian to come up with an alternate solution. A QWERTY Keyboard that slides over the iPhone, guarding its edges and syncing in well! The slick body docks in the phone and auto disables the virtual keyboard. An external jack hooks into place, at the bottom of the keys for charging the phone. These first batch of renders don't do as much justice to the idea, but like all things Apple, I'm sure the nextgen will look better.

Materials-Polycarbonate (PC) /Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene(ABS), Carbon Steel for the slider rails.

Fritters Frying Fury Now Tamed

Posted: 18 Aug 2010 01:14 AM PDT

The Hand Guard is a protective silicon cover for your hands, to be used when you're cooking. For the love of French fries, I’d use this more while deep frying! The oil splutters tend to create havoc with your skin, especially if you're in the cooking profession and at it all the time. A simple funnel-shaped cover fits over the equipment and covers quite a bit of your hand. The USP is that you can use the cover with almost any sized spoon, ladle, chopstick or tongs; without hampering your cooking maneuvers. Simple and functional!

Steady Support For iPad Sketching

Posted: 18 Aug 2010 01:00 AM PDT

The rounded form of the iPad gives it a very sleek look, but may not the ideal form when using it as a sketch pad on the table. The iSketch offers a snug-fitting protective support for the device, plus doubles up as a powermat for charging it. The accompanying sketch pen and plenty of sketching apps make it feel like creative-utopia for the moment, but only time and a real-life product review will tell if it's worth the effort or not!

Egglike Double Axis Transport

Posted: 18 Aug 2010 12:10 AM PDT

The concept vehicle you are about to embark on a read and viewing of is the “Urban Vehicular Ovalon” aka UVO. This concept car for the futuristic year date of 2021 is what I’d call a pod car. Made for inner city commute by designer Alexei Mikhailov. The UVO sends you around the city in an oval form with two parallel axis, moving about using magnets tied with drive-link technology to either tie pods together for train-like transport or avoid other pods entirely. Not only will there be no congestion, traffic will cease to exist!

The vehicle features fuel cell technology using electric motors in each of the wheels. These motors are tied in with magnets which act as stabilizing gyroscopes in keeping the vehicle upright in both moving and braking.

Wireless energy transformers work with recharge parking hot-spots located all around the city. They recharge the vehicle using electromagnetic induction technology while you’re having yourself a coffee.

Then of course there’s the holographic head up display projection, completely wild new interactive interior for control of the car and a “new driving experience of 2021″, which probably means you’ll be able to watch Star Wars 7, 8, and 9 in there while you go to work. In addition to the auto controls of, for example that train situation I just mentioned, there’s also motion sensitive arm holsters – which would make for some very interesting races or demolition derbies in this future world, I must say.

Your Health and Waste Guru

Posted: 18 Aug 2010 12:03 AM PDT

Just a few minutes ago I got finished writing a concept for the year 2021. Now I am writing this project which is meant for the home of 2050. Dear designers – where do you get these years from? Love, Chris. Now let’s talk about this project. It’s called “Rejuven8″ and it’s made to save the world by providing you, the user, with both a recipe and health database paired with intelligent waste recovery technology. Reduce waste, slow the demise of the human world. Totally simple.

Made to sit on your counter, the counter you’ve got in your kitchen bench or workspace inside your urban home. It’s an LCD screen from whens you can retrieve recipes and meal suggestions whilst cooking. But that’s not all. Rejuven8 connects wirelessly to other products in the home “that perform internal and external biometric analysis of each occupant then send daily updates to the food database.” Terrifying, yet exciting.

And here’s where the fun begins. When you’re done eating, you put your scraps, (animal bones, that nasty mix of corn and syrup, beets,) into Rejuven8’s bin where it’s deconstructed by an artificial stomach into basic materials, some at a molecular level. From there, useable materials are reconstructed into nutrients and minerals and stored, while the useless materials are vaporized into carbon powder and collected for removal.

And what happens to that reconstructed material? Well, once you make and fill your plate with your NEXT meal, just place it under the over-hang at the front of Rejuven8 and wait. What will happen? Rejuven8 recognizes you, displays your health status update, and sprays a fine mist of your needed nutrients onto the food you’re about to eat. With no no added aftertaste or residue!

Health science is magic!

Complete Benshoshan Apartment Design

Posted: 18 Aug 2010 12:03 AM PDT

This is friggin awesome. This project is what happens when you’re a designer who has the rare combination of time, energy, knowhow, and an entire living space to work with (and a girlfriend with skills that’s just as willing as you are.) This is an apartment completely designed and executed by designer Ron Benshoshan and his girlfriend. From top to bottom, everything from the faucets in the bathroom to the floating unit below the TV.

Here’s the big list:

They tore down the wall in the kitchen opening it up to the living room and dining area. United the the bathroom making one long bathroom. Made the bedroom bigger by closing an indoor balcony. Created a bar that comes out of the wall. And all kinds of other little additions, fixes, and mods.

Then Benshoshan personally designed and built most of the items seen in the pictures:

Large wall clock.
Floating unit below the tv.
Round table and red chairs.
Table and pipe lamp.
Cats playing area which is hung in the red room.
Faucet in the bathroom.
Wooden bar.
Lights in the living room (with red cords.)
Bed and side table in bedroom.

In the gallery below I’ve included one collage pic of the “before” followed by a collection of pics of the complete custom apartment.

The will!

The quality!

The drive!

Hooray for Do It Yourself living!

Designer: Ron Benshoshan
