| Posted: 09 Nov 2011 04:16 AM PST Although we are heading towards winter, let's not forget the folks from Down Under who are gearing up for their summers. I think escape from heat and reality should be more than just Kool Aid and popsicles; it should be funky like the Water Wave Air Conditioner. It features ambient lighting with moods like stars and water, matching sound effects and cool breezy air to lower your temperature. Now that's what soothing summers should be like!

| Posted: 09 Nov 2011 03:58 AM PST Unplugging devices is the easiest way to conserve energy and we have seen many attempts in the past to enforce this. However none of them have been this cool and easy as the Eco-socket. Once you are done with using a device, the socket automatically detects lower energy consumption and kinda pops the plug for you! When you need to use it again, simply push in the plug and you are good to go! Energy saved and you didn't even have to do a thing! Eco-socket is a 2011 Liteon Award entry. Designer: Ya-Hui Chi

| Posted: 09 Nov 2011 12:01 AM PST Designed to aid in providing safe drinking water for people in developing countries, Gabriele Diamanti’s Eliodomestico water distiller harnesses the sun’s power to produce up to 5 liters of drinking water daily. Eliodomestico is almost 3 times as efficient as traditional solar stills and functions without electricity or even much maintenance as it works autonomously during the day. Made from only terra-cotta and zinc-plated metal sheets, the design could also be produced or repaired by locals quite easily. The distiller itself is very easy to use: in the morning simply fill the water tank with salty or dirty water from a local source, and in the evening collect clean, evaporated and re-condensed water in a portable recipient placed underneath the tank.

What looks like a simple ornamental ring is actually a clever device for shooting rubber bands “sling-shot style” at your friends. Just keep a pack of rubber bands handy and you’ll be popping everyone all day. The only thing to worry about… retaliation! Designer: Appliance Studio

| Posted: 09 Nov 2011 12:01 AM PST Gotta love this utilitarian design by Swedish design studio, Lagström Wiktorsson. The Leaf hanger set consists of five steel rings of different size that anchor to wall on one side, making it suitable for a variety of uses depending on which way the user anchors it. Position it upside down as a towel ring, or right-side-up as a coat hanger. Each piece in the set is laser cut from a single steel sheet, minimizing material waste. In powder-coated charcoal gray and white they’re as attractive as they are useful. Designer: Lagström Wiktorsson
