For The Love Of Drumming

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 09:56 AM PST

Ever caught yourself doing the air-drums in the middle of a song? Van Halen and WWRY get me to do that all the time. Well, the option of using a portable instrument like the Y-Drum is a good one, especially when it works out good for beginners. It is a mobile, accessible and easy to use; making the percussion practice even more fun.

As Kévin explains, "Everyone can build and customize his own set with the pads. All the system is synchronized via Bluetooth. So just set up or choose a drum set with the Roland's application installed on the smartphone, the tablet or the computer and start to play!"

Designer: Kévin Depape

Schproket Lights

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 09:44 AM PST

The very cool named 'Schproket Light' is clearly inspired by mechanics. The lighting system employs a low voltage, safe socket create this magical circle of incandescent light points. Basically designer Christopher Moulder wanted to experiment with a lighting piece that would use no wires or sockets, so he started experimenting with low voltage bulbs. Hence Schprokets are lit with high efficiency Xenon long life bulbs.

Low voltage means the fixture doesn’t have to be insulated. Instead, the Schproket is the socket. They can be hung from the ceiling, horizontally or angled, singly or in stacks, in 24″, 36″ and 47″ rings. Mounted directly onto the wall or ceiling in 11″, 15″, 24″ and 36″ rings. Available in colors: Silver Metallic, Torch Red, and White.

The Cooking Expertise Of Chef Brown

Chef Brown is an adorable chef sitting on your kitchen counter. Hooked up to the Internet, the chef is a hub that searches for recipes from both pre-installed data and the web. The interactive device is good to the beginners and children and keeps track on the steps and timings indicated in the recipe. If you need it to narrate the recipe instead, it will do that too. How accommodating!

Custom-Capacity Bag

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 08:42 AM PST

This versatile utility bag, called Shirrley, is composed of just one piece of mesh fabric and a single string. It’s deceivingly strong and the flexible nature of the material accommodates a variety of objects. When fully collapsed, it looks like a shirred handbag but when stretched it becomes a full-size grocery bag. The space-saving design can be crumpled and easily stored in the car, closet, or another bag.

Designer: Yuree S. Hwang

Time-telling Trickster

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 12:01 AM PST

Gotta wuv this clever clock! Using an Arduino Uno light and distance sensor embedded in a vintage clock, Wallace plays with the viewer’s perception by gradually slowing down as they approach it. When they walk away it speeds back up to return to the correct time. It will take a minute before you realize you aren’t trippin! An excellent conversation starter. Watch the vid to see how it works!

Lighting Gone Linear

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 12:01 AM PST

The Polyline Desk Lamp replaces the mechanical & visual complexity of traditional task lights with the versatility of a linear LED strip & a simple, minimal aesthetic. The linear form produces strong but diffused light for desk or table work, but can be activated in portions to provide localized lighting for specific tasks. Instead of bulky, expensive, & failure-susceptible mechanical joints, it has a fluid, almost seamless form with maximum rigidity and minimal part lines. 

Polyline’s impossibly long reach is made possible by a  weighted base and its aluminum construction is not only strong and recyclable, but provides a wide range of possibilities for surface colors and finishes.
