Seesaw Tub!

Posted: 20 Feb 2012 04:25 AM PST

One of the reasons why my mother can never use the tub for a bath is that her acute arthritis and four lower limb joint replacements restrict her movement. With the Flume Tub I'm sure she will be able to just walk into the bath and use it confidently. The tub works on the principles of a seesaw and is built keeping the safety of people with restricted movements in mind. Awesome!

Flume Bathtub is a 2011 red dot design concept winner.

Designers: Kim Jung Su, Yoon Ji Soo & Kim Dong Hwan

The Ultimate Braille Phone

Posted: 20 Feb 2012 04:10 AM PST

DrawBraille Mobile Phone is one of the most compelling concepts that focus on making mobile phones easy-to-use for the blind. The entire UI and input keys are in Braille and even the touch panel reflects this system. The design and approach have a surreal finish to it and I am quite sure that Shikun Sun is on to something big with this!
