Mo’ Bikes, Less Problems

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 09:23 AM PDT

The latest in a trend of “aesthetic flexibility,” the Winora Urban E-Bike taps into a wider range of consumers by using customizable body covers and skins that are easily changed. The adaptability is made possible by a super-simple structure that maintains a variety of sitting positions for users of different sizes. The more E-Bikes on the road… the cleaner, quieter and more friendly cities will be!

Budget Billing

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 08:15 AM PDT

When you are living on a shoestring budget (popularly known as student's budget), you know that every penny counts. This is why time and again we see designers coming up with innovative ways to split the bill. Go Dutch Bill is one such concept that allows diners to get their bill printed individually, as per their order. Super non-fuss way of doing the math!

Pictures From The Sky

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 08:08 AM PDT

The idea of aerial photography is not new, but the idea of the Sky View Camera certainly is. I love the cosmic beauty in design, almost like a star or whimsical flower. Details are sketchy, but we do know that it can take pics from mid-air and when placed on a surface. People are fascinated with pictures of them from above, so one of these days the concept will see light. Whether it is as enigmatic as the Sky View, remains to be seen.

The Sky View Camera is a 2012 iF Design Talents entry.

Product Design Days + Yanko Design RoadShow

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 06:29 AM PDT

When I spoke with Scott Wilson, the force behind Lunatik and Tik Tok watches and asked him about the biggest flaw he saw in Kickstarter and other crowdsourcing platforms, he said finding a dependable manufacturer and a logistical supply chain for the product was the biggest drawback. Essentially, you may have a brilliant design, the seed funding, but no reliable support in the manufacturing process. Here is where Product Design Days and the Yanko Design RoadShow fit into your success story by overcoming this flaw.

Product Design Days is an exhibition and event, which is being held in the Indian metropolitan city of Chennai. Globally connected with the right industry, the aim of the event is to bring together manufacturers and innovative product designers so that they can strike a meaningful business relationship. The event spans over three days, with the main exhibition from November 22 and November 23, 2012.

In easy words, it is an event where product designers get to meet the decision makers from the manufacturing industry. It is the opportunity to meet and network with people who can help you realize your dreams as a designer.

Yanko Design RoadShow

With almost a decade of working closely with designers from across the globe, Yanko Design understands how important it is for designers to strike the right kind of partnerships in order to progress and sustain the business side of design.

Icy Tech

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 12:01 AM PDT

Designed to withstand the most extreme of conditions, Nevero is a portable laser based 3D measurement system for surveying glaciers. The technology warrants an extremely precise scan of fragile climate indicators. With an emphasis on lightness and comfortable portability, the design makes it easier for scientists and expedition crews to walk for miles up mountains to reach the scanning locations.

 
The device itself is divided into two parts. One is the laser scanner and the other is a bag which the scanner is transported in. The bag is a hard-shell concept based on carbon-fiber to make it as light as possible. It also has side-pockets for the extra storage of additional equipment.

The laser scanner has an integrated tripod which lifts the laser head up to 110 cm. It can be easily assembled with just two buttons for each leg. The laser head itself is protected by a glass that allows a 360 degree scan. The glass, in turn, is protected against damage by a ring of carbon-fiber that slides down when in use. On the backside of the scan device, there is a display for adjustments that is protected by its own keyboard. The link element on the back side is the safety feature that insures that the scanner and the bag are strongly connected and can only be separated by pressing the two big release buttons.

Orbital Timepiece

Posted: 24 Sep 2012 12:01 AM PDT

Moon Crater draws inspiration from its namesake with elevated gold numerals 3, 7, and 11 sitting atop raised platforms within a recessed case. The minute and hour hands move across the dial, perfectly encircling the raised numerals as they orbit the center. In black leather and steel, it’s a unique design that either sex will appreciate.
