| Modern Material Among Ancient Beauty Posted: 28 Aug 2012 09:17 AM PDT 24° Studio’s latest installation, Daphne, is situated within the tunneled stairway that interplays with the notion of concealing and revealing the ancient interior surfaces of the tunnel leading to the peak of the hilltop village Pyrgos in Santorini, Greece. The structure is made entirely of self-supporting paper panels and string LEDs that create an enclosure that plays with visitors’ perception as they witness the material merging of past, present and future. Just a trace of the entire installation is visible at the foot of the tunnel where a few panels hint at a growing continuous structure. As visitors venture deeper into the tunnel, they become completely encapsulated by a strikingly larger section of the installation, but are still able to see bits and pieces of the ancient walls through gaps in the panels. The interior illumination accentuates the space from dusk to dawn to emphasize how the existing materiality can coexist with the new. Designer: 24° Studio

| Posted: 28 Aug 2012 03:05 AM PDT The Motherspoon concept allows families to connect together and share family recipes even though distances may keep them apart. The concept of storing and sharing recipes has changed over the years and this appliance integrates the internet, a dedicated exchange platform and sensors to get it working. Basically what happens is that you and your mom buy your own pair of Motherspoon and register onto a dedicated platform for file sharing. So when you mom cooks her recipe and uses the spoon to taste her food, the sensor laden spoon picks up the ingredients and deciphers the recipe. When put on its cradle, the spoon loads the recipe to the sharing platform so that you can access it, even if you live miles apart. Essentially your cooking gets to be just like your mom's, or like any other person who you add to your online group. As simple as that! Designer: Okan Akgöl

| Posted: 28 Aug 2012 02:43 AM PDT The Aqueous is quite an innovative design that exudes a fluid form while retaining functionality. It features a unique malleable disk that allows you to control the flow of water; pushing down regulates pressure, pushing right brings hot water, and left brings cold. As the designer explains, "Aqueous' singular shape creates a memorable silhouette." Aqueous provides both a shower-head, that is activated once rotated out 90 degrees from the wall, and a retractable shower unit that can be used when the shower-head is de-activated but also locks in place when not in use. It can be adapted in enamel for multiple color variations, and has the potential to be applied to mixer taps as part of a bathroom suite. Aqueous is a 2012 Reece Bathroom Innovations Award entry. Designer: Christian Harrup

| Posted: 28 Aug 2012 12:01 AM PDT Even though there are tons of phone case options out there, it’s hard to find one that’s original, let alone personalized. The DIY Stifin case makes it possible to create unique designs all your own by cross-stitching it directly onto the case (there’s also pattern guides for the stitch impaired!). After you’ve stitched your case, cross-stitch the earphone ornament to add a little cuteness to your phone and protect your earphone jack at the same time. It’s a fun way to make a case that’s so “you!” Designer: Leese Design

| Posted: 28 Aug 2012 12:01 AM PDT If you guessed that this is the latest in heavy construction machinery, congratulations, you’re… WRONG! It’s not a steamroller at all! The latest from OTOTO, this deceiving design is actually a handy tape dispenser that will add a little character to your desktop. It makes tearing tape strips a cinch and, if you’re like me and constantly misplace your spare tape, the rear wheel opens to store extra rolls. Designer: OTOTO Design

| Posted: 27 Aug 2012 01:36 PM PDT This cutting edge sports bike isn’t just HOT AS HELL aesthetically, it also uses cutting edge materials and technology to enhance safety and power. Hybrid technologies include specialized film and paint to harness solar energy and a kinetic energy recovery system as a secondary source of power. Coolest of all is a genius system of high-precision optic lenses and sensors that wirelessly connect to the rider’s HUD helmet to display everything from speed to object distance so the rider never has to look down. Designers: Luis Quinones, Jonathon Stahl, & David Stamatis

| Posted: 27 Aug 2012 12:11 PM PDT VOLVE Headphones merge innovative operation, minimalistic character & high-end technology to blur the boundaries between music and mind. Sure, they’re sleek and stylish, but what sets them apart is the transfer of play/volume functionality directly to the headphone from the MP3 player or other Samsung device. Volume can be adjusted by simply turning a rubber disc situated on the ear cups & play or pause is activated by a single push on the centerpiece, making them as intuitive to use as they are beautiful to look at. Highly adjustable revolving stainless steel tubing surrounding the ear cups provides a perfect fit for each individual and eliminates any soreness from prolonged use, so you can immerse yourself in your listening experience without being distracted by ear pain. Designer: Andreas Konradsen
