| Getting Creative With Inukshuks Posted: 08 Sep 2010 01:15 AM PDT  A bunch of pebbles on your desk can transform to something meaningful…as meaningful as the stone landmarks used for navigation by the Inuits. Here is the modern age "Inukshuk", magnetic stones that become a photograph holder, paper clip stand or a stress buster! If you watch the video till the end…you'll know what I mean… Designer: Dewa Bleisinger for Troika ----------        |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2010 01:05 AM PDT  Incense sticks play such an important role in our spiritual life; they exude a sense of wellbeing, peace and calmness when we light them. Keeping this in mind and taking inspiration from their soft glowing tips is the Scent – Incense Stick Mood Lights. A bunch of them charge in a base station and can be placed individually or collectively, as you please. The only way I can think of improvising this, will be to add in a aroma dispenser…making it a total replica of the real thing! Interestingly, Scent won a silver place at the recent KOIZUMI International lighting design competition for students. Designer: Kyu Hyun Lee & Hae Won Jo ----------     |
| Hanging On The Drying Rack Chair Posted: 08 Sep 2010 01:00 AM PDT  This is such a clever idea, especially if you live in a small apartment and need to stash up on multifunctional gear. Here's Lean, a chair with rails for its back…nothing path breaking so far; but drag it to your radiator and hitch it to lean onto it, and hey! you have a stand to dry your clothes! Super neat and super useful, especially if made with the right kinda materials. Designers: Eunggyu Lee, Junghoon Baek, Sangmin Yoon & Samuel Sari, Seonggeun Chio ----------     |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2010 12:11 AM PDT  There was an insane scooter craze a few years back. Everybody and their pal had a scooter, and they were scooting everywhere from the front driveway to the mall parking lot. The population of the USA scooted so much and so hard that the craze never went away. It’s not quite as huge a craze as it once was, but it’s still wild. It might just go bonkers once more when the “X-Scooter” is released unto the population. Why, you might ask? Because it has not just the standard two wheels and a handlebar, nay! It has three. This is a replacement that you can use. Provided you haven’t just destroyed one of your first two tires, you can do some wild tricks and ride on all three. And what’s that on the sides of the wheels? Pegs! Brilliant! I remember riding one of these scooters when the craze first hit – I was crashing and falling all over the place because the handle turned the front wheel too easily. That’d never happen if I could put my foot by the wheel. And if THAT weren’t enough, this scooter comes with a camera pocket you can fit your camera in and use to take realtime photos. Go! And do the sweet tricks! Go! And take the sweet pics! Designer: Boaz Lazar ----------     |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2010 12:03 AM PDT  Let me introduce you to a multi-talented designer by the name of Delphine Frey. She’s got a handle on a grip of object projects right now, and this post contains four of the most fabulous. There’s a desk that becomes a console lamp, a champagne bucket made of pleated silver, a paper plane that’s made of something that’s not paper at all, and a set of cups made to turn whatever liquid they contain into a fully full experience. Slim and Strong : Desk, console lamp, everything you need to sit during the day, read and study whilst laying on your stomach at night. S&S is made of carbon so it’d be able to be as thin as possible (1mm thick) while it houses and contains an array of LED lights underneath. Silver Pleat : A champagne bucket of such glamourous make and content. This Silver Pleat is made out of, you guessed it, pleated silver. That’s pleated silver which, when under the weight of the bottle, is deformed, this recalls the elegance of pleated cloth from the world of haute-couture. It’s all very rich indeed. Paper plane : A decorative plane made for the TAG Aviation group for a holiday gift. Made of carbon with a place for the client’s ID on the side. Grand Cru cup : This is a set of cups that’s aimed at giving you a total immersion experience. The word Frey uses is “degustation,”* which, of course, if you know the word, tells you that each cup makes you want to taste the liquid inside carefully so that you appreciate it to the max.

| Posted: 08 Sep 2010 12:01 AM PDT  This project goes by the name “One Makes Another” and it takes one candle, a spool of string, and a little bit of metal. Bam! Infinite candle. Right? Sort of. Designer Yuya Kurata describes this project as a candle holder which makes another candle underneath as it melts, but one that isn’t quite complete. The concept is here, the candle isn’t quite ready for it. Because candles do not gutter as much as would be necessary, a slightly distorted candle is made. However! One Make Another does sort of work. It’s nearly there. All they’d need is a different candle consistency and a little bit of the ol’ modification of physics! Take a peek. See how the candle creates itself? Kinda sorta awesome. Now we just gotta figure out how to make sure ALL of the wax goes into the next candle and how to make that string regenerate as well. Possible? Maybe not. Is this project awesome anyway? Yes. All attempts at infinite energy deserve a high-five for effort. Designer: Yuyu Kurata ----------     |
