Steel and Flower Inspired Lighting

Posted: 17 Oct 2012 10:14 AM PDT

Orchids have long been a symbol of love and beauty and have been grown by enthusiasts in admiration of their elegance. One of these enthusiasts is designer YoungJae Kim who created this design, the Orchid Lamp, in honor of the flower. Following the signature tall form of the orchid, the lamp extends upward but still maintains an aesthetic lightness as it looms over the workspace. In stainless steel and genuine leather, it’s an elegant desktop accent perfect for the professional office.

Expanding The Light Theorem

Posted: 17 Oct 2012 01:33 AM PDT

How would you like a tube light that expands into the length of your holder? Something like one standard tube that fits all sizes. So if you have a small width holder, let the tube stay tightly spiraled. Need to fit it to the longer size? Expand the spiral! The idea is pretty straightforward; the only cause for concern is the kind of materials that will be used in the construction of the tube light. Any thoughts?

Telescopic Tube is a 2012 iF Design Talents entry.

Kitchen Tweezers

Posted: 17 Oct 2012 12:01 AM PDT

The Kitchen Tweezers (obvious inspiration) are a modern reinterpretation of kitchen tongs that solve the main problem with the former design’s lack of spring, making them much more efficient and easy to use (not to mention way better looking!). The minimal, seamless design can be cut from a variety of materials that have tensile strength. Personally, I’m digging the raw solid wood and carbon styles!

A Couch Potato’s Best Friend

Posted: 17 Oct 2012 12:01 AM PDT

The NF Tab aims to be an all-in-one solution for controlling, well…. EVERYTHING at home! The limitlessly programable platform aims to make syncing your home theater, peripherals, computer system, and even aesthetic details like lighting and window shutters easily adjustable all at the touch of a button or swipe of the screen.   Similar systems exist but the NF stands out in ergonomics and straight forward, intuitive, touch screen functionality that’s got most everything covered!

Ready To Party In Singapore With red dot award: design concept!

Posted: 17 Oct 2012 12:00 AM PDT

You can define concept design as creative energies that think more efficiently. One of the benchmarks of this genre is the red dot award: design concept. By the time you read this, team YD will be Singapore bound to capture the events live, as they unfold. October 19th is when the winners will be unveiled for the 2012 edition. This year was special as YD's publisher Takashi Yamada was one of the jury members. In Takashi's own words, the whole experience was empowering! Join Yanko Design live on the red carpet as we catch the histrionics of young designers as they waltz up the ramp to claim their coveted prize. The party begins at 7:00 pm – Singapore time, so stay tuned to Facebook, Twitter and this page!

Live from Singapore: 7:00 pm [4:00 am PST]

Here is a quick recap of the 2011 event.
