Finger Lock the Door

Posted: 20 Apr 2012 06:23 AM PDT

Grabit is a door handle fitted with a fingerprint scanner. The door opens only if it recognizes the fingerprint, however that's not the coolest part. What makes this design plausible and functional is the position of the scanner. It's placed at the most ergonomically viable place, making the act of opening (or locking) a door, very fluid.

My Orange Squeeze

Posted: 20 Apr 2012 04:27 AM PDT

I really don't see the point in an electric citrus fruit squeezer. I own one and end up putting in manual labor to hold the orange in place with firm grip. I may as well invest in a classy juicer like the Edwin; it is sustainable and made from smooth ceramic and wood. Squeezing the fruit will give my fingers good exercise and no more worrying about repairs! Unless I get clumsy and break the ceramic component, I guess I'm all set.

Exoskeletal EV

I’m not usually into super-compact cars but there’s no denying the draw to this unique beauty. The EXO concept is the result of a challenge to designers Mark Beccaloni & Mauro Fragiotta to create a minimal and compact yet realistically usable urban vehicle. Designed from the outside in, the external geodesic shape is not only aesthetically captivating, but provides serious strength to the structure.

“Print” Your Dream House

Posted: 20 Apr 2012 12:01 AM PDT

Amazing advancements have been made in 3D-printing technology, but designer Sebastian Bertram has taken it a step further, expanding the capabilities of 3D printing to large-scale 3D building. The Contour aims to keep up with demand for housing in urban areas with aconstruction method that combines industrial production and the technique of rapid prototyping. The robot “prints” contours of a building shell layer by layer using fast-drying concrete. Within just a couple of weeks, an entire estate could be produced.

Sexy Seating [NSFW]

I’ll do my best to not sound pornographic when describing this design, but the truth is that this is one sexy piece. The JOKI bench’s curves have a sensual aesthetic that is also functional as it contours the human body perfectly. The fluid shape was carefully planned so the modular pieces can be  recombined to align perfectly no matter which ends you combine.

Instead a laser projected multi-touch interface allows you to brew your cuppa java delight. Modern yet reminiscent of your 'grandma's old coffee pot', coffee addicts are going to want this!

Never Too Old for This

This is the kind of thing I drooled over when I was a kid! TANTO is the perfect place to sit, read or let your mind drift away to fantasyland. More than just a bean bag chair, TANTO also makes a great huggable, lovable friend!

Urban Origami Bike

Posted: 19 Apr 2012 12:11 AM PDT

The Rollin’ bike design focuses on two of important features helpful to the urban commuter: a stylish, super-lightweight body and a stationary lock integrated into the frame. The frame, which takes more inspiration from contemporary interior design than sporting design, is laser cut from a single sheet of aluminum that has been folded for added stability. The integrated lock is an easy and accessible way to ensure the bike will never go without protection from theft.
