| ICONICSTAND, This is Not Shop Class Posted: 14 Dec 2010 08:34 AM PST  In Seoul Korea a small studio called O’LIVEFACTORY is carving out a niche in the market. The brain child, one Kenny Cho, who nearly gave up ID, decided to return to his boyhood dream of designing products in his early retirement. Operating on sustainable practices, their first product is the ICONICSTAND, a desktop iPhone 4 stand made of birch, jointed for landscape and portrait viewing. There’s an option to customize your own icon should the stock ones not suite your fancy. This is a poignant reminder, never give up on your dream. 14.0 X 9.0 X 15.5 cm ( Width X Depth X Height ) Designer: Young-Gun Cho (aka Kenny Cho) ----------     |
| Posted: 14 Dec 2010 08:23 AM PST  Award-winning product development consultancy Carbon Design Group repurposes an icon with the introduction of the Domino Clock™. The Domino Clock™ takes a simple, iconic object and transforms it into a new way to tell time. The concept is simple. Three larger-than-life dominoes are equipped with articulating "dots" that flip back-and-forth between black and white to keep time. They hang on the wall or stand free, communicating wirelessly as they quietly mark the passing hours and minutes. The plan is for the Carbon team to bring the concept to life, with the first Domino Clock gracing the walls of their new studio in early 2011. After that, only time will tell. Get it? Hehe… I’m really slow this morning. Designer: Carbon Design ----------     |
| World Kitchen “What’s Bubbling? Kitchen Tools!” Design Competition Posted: 14 Dec 2010 07:00 AM PST  Update: 3 weeks left! "Put that emotion in the food, because it’s so much more rewarding down the line"; says Hell's Kitchen celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey. Cooking has become such a habitual ritual that we rarely put in the extra effort for gourmet meals. Blame it on time constrains or pressures of life, but home-cooking has undergone major transformations, demanding serious changes in our kitchen too. The future foresees requirement for tools that will comply with our instant-food needs, helping us to whip up tasty treats in a jiffy. The future requires designers like you to come up with kitchen tool solutions today! Designs that offer sustainable tools and techniques that comply with our evolving lifestyles, demographics, cultural expectations and economics. Can you rise to the challenge of creating new kitchen tools and techniques, cross-pollinating from other cultures, or perfecting our tried-and-true tools, improving the cook's experience while prepping, cooking or serving? It took us almost 2,500 years to evolve from the basic Neolithic tools to the present-day kitchen equipments; the future is not that patient…so we need to hurry! What's Bubbling? Invites you to present your ideas for the "Kitchen Tools" international design competition!

| It’s Time for a Braille Smartphone Posted: 14 Dec 2010 01:10 AM PST  Voim (seeing in Korean) is a smartphone concept for the blind that includes functions to make communication easier. It features route navigation, word recognition and object identification, which are displayed as braille on a silicon screen or transmitted as audio cues via the detachable bluetooth headset. Although smartphone applications & braille cell phones do exists, a full-fledged concept like this is a ways away. Designers: Youngseong Kim & Eunsol Yeom ----------     |
| Posted: 14 Dec 2010 01:00 AM PST  Telling time requires a very basic and ubiquitous skill but what if the whole concept were completely redesigned? UnTime explores hours and minutes as two counter-turning discs that are every bit as accurate. It’s actually very easy to read – if not easier. It’s just a small learning curve. We can imagine some really interesting watches with this dual-dial design. Designer: Pushkar Ingale ----------     |
| Posted: 14 Dec 2010 12:03 AM PST  Welcome to a portable cooking experience like you’ve, perhaps maybe, never seen before. This is “Roll-Up”, an induction cooktop which separates induction coils and electronic circuits in order to make a very thin, very elegant solution for mobile cooking. Each coil is made small enough so that the heating part of the Roll-Up can be folded. Electronic circuits are placed in a “fancy looking hard-drive like case.” Plus – sensors! When a pot (or other item to be heated up) is placed on the heating surface, pressure sensors in every induction coil register where the pot is sitting and only those sensors touched activate with heat. Roll-Up was recently awarded a 2010 Red Dot Concept Design award in the category of Domestic Aid. Congratulations GB! Designer: Goran Bjelajac ----------     |

| Posted: 14 Dec 2010 12:03 AM PST  Made in an effort to resurrect the essence of the night markets designer Lee Leong Chye knew as a child. Specifically Chye hoped to find again the loving glowing glowing love of the kerosene lamps – each of them pressurized with a hand pump, set aflame with a match, preheated and pressure adjusted to the perfect combination of settings, and poof! Like magic, there was that iconic flame. Chye brings this world to live with a nearly all-wood reinterpretation of the lamp. Gorgeously cut and fully functional. I’d like to share with you the story of Chye’s night market experience, as I think you’ll agree it’s integral to the full project:
Such a fantastic loveliness. This new lamp also has to be charged by pumping, periodical pumping needed to keep the light alight. For those that experienced the old market, a renewed memory – for those who are young, brand new memories. All excellence. Designer: Lee Leong Chye of Little Thoughts Group design collective ----------     |
