| The Ultimate Hipster Headphones Posted: 10 Apr 2013 08:19 AM PDT The Low Fi Hi Tech Headphones are an exploration into building a pair of fully functional headphones without any line-produced part. Composed of just wire, tape, solder, magnets and a few 3D printed parts, the design is surprisingly not rickety and the sound quality is nice against all expectations. In a sense, it’s lo-fi in both audio and material quality! —Want to print your own? Designer JC Karich’s 3D printing files are available here! Designer: JC Karich

| Posted: 10 Apr 2013 03:28 AM PDT Make that towels! This is becuase we have the Dry Clean, a very capable towel drier that not only dries towels but also disinfects them. The device uses a miniature turbine to direct hot air towards the towels and maintains the temperature to allow for easy drying. An ultraviolet (UV) light disinfects the towel and keeps them fresh and fluffy. On a daily basis this may seem as an extravagance but think of cold and wet seasons, plus hotels where uneccesary laundry can be cut. Designer: puredesign

| Retro Analogue Photography In Digital Era Posted: 10 Apr 2013 03:01 AM PDT When they were asked to rethink the camera by BBC Future, the designers at Conran and Partners were clear that they wanted to set about reimagining every aspect, from the form factor to the technology inside. The result is this new-age hybrid that has a gaping hole replacing the camera lens and no digital viewfinder to check out the images clicked. In a very spunky way, the concept transports us back to that era when rushing to the darkroom with the camera roll used to be so much of fun. The anticipation of crisp versus blurry shots, and the excitement of sifting through the photographs as a collection, is such a refreshing change. Designer Jared Mankelow explains, "What we've done is punch a big aperture through the camera's centre, to connect the photographer with what's in front of them." One of the reasons behind omitting the screen is that since everybody has a smartphone, tablet or PC nowadays (all featuring a very high-resolution screen), it made no sense having a poor-quality substitute sapping battery life from the camera.

| Kick your computer to the curb! Posted: 10 Apr 2013 12:01 AM PDT Keep your computer cool with Curb- a simple, minimal desktop bar designed to elevate laptops for increased airflow and reduced internal and ambient heat. The scalene triangle shape allows for two different degrees of elevation depending on the preference of the user. A small cutout tidies the power cord and also serves as a stopper for loose cables. In colorful TPE/silicon, it’s anti-slip, soft, and durable enough to throw in your laptop bag. Designer: Jon Liow

| Posted: 10 Apr 2013 12:01 AM PDT It’s easy to take for granted little things like running on the beach & swimming. Murr-ma is a specialized prosthesis that extends these experiences to amputees or those with mobile disability. Inspired by the dorsal fin of the sailfish, the fins channel the water flow alongside the carbon fiber backbone & out at the sides, providing the wearer with the necessary thrust to move through the water. The split toe design also makes it possible to easily transition from sand to surf. Designers: Julia Johnson, Thomas Essl, Yuki Machida & Damien Rocca
