Posted: 15 Apr 2013 08:04 AM PDT

As a strong advocate of participating in competitions, I am really humbled by the enthusiasm and results of this year's A’ Design Awards & Competition. I believe that competitions not only act as a measure for your own caliber but also validate your potential against others on an international scale. More than that, platforms like the A’ Design Awards & Competition, offer publicity, PR push and advertisement opportunities for award winners while supporting the global design culture. So congratulations winners!

One Step for Man

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 06:58 AM PDT

From an engineering perspective, the step scooter is a true innovation in human powered vehicles. Other mobile products have tried to recreate the non-cycling, up-down motion similar to a stair-climber with limited practical results. The STP scooter expands on the functionality and appeal by making it foldable and as aesthetically customizable as a skateboard deck. More efficient than a kick scooter and half the size of a bike, it’s perfect for stepping your way around the city.

On My Windowsill

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 12:42 AM PDT

… lies a lot of dust, especially in-between the rail tracks for the window. I do my best to keep the dust and debris away, however the combination of vacuuming the track and brushing out the debris doesn't help. I also require a low maintenance herb to grow on my windowsill, and this is how I will tackle both these aspects.

Cleaner Robot by Chae Young Sam & Jeong Ming Yeong is this beautifully designed vacuum with brush that dedicatedly cleans up the rail tracks of the sliding windows. The robotic device even features a built-in UV lamp for sterilization and recharges using solar power.

Plan't – Solar Energy Garden by Min Soon Kim is a hydroponic cultivating machine that can be used in apartments to grow vegetables right on your window. The device harnesses solar energy and then uses it to power a mild LED mood lamp for the night and also for the times when the sun doesn't shine so much for the plant.

Scoop ‘n Weigh

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 12:34 AM PDT

Scoop is an electronic scale integrated into the measuring scoop, intended for the local grocers who sell by the measure. It is not only handy in eliminating a step, but also promises accuracy. I can picture this being used in kitchens as well, especially when we need to bake and measure out the ingredients as accurately as possible. Over all, a nice plausible design!

Designers: Kim Hyun Soo & Kim Bo Kyung

Only geeky by name…

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Featuring a commanding contrast of raw wood and steel, the Geek chair has a fresh and contemporary appearance that’s elegant yet unpretentious. The design itself is straightforward and familiar, using simple geometric lines for a subtlety. For more individual style, there’s a choice of matte black or white finish coupled with the solid maple rods.

Truly Handy Cam

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Apart from the complex technical know-how required to use a camera, you’re also supposed to be physically stable and nimble with your hands. Even as someone with full use of my own, I can barely manage all that! With its flexible viewfinder screen, the ergonomically designed Inclusive Digital Camera makes it easier (especially for those with dexterity setbacks) to shoot from a more comfortable, wrist-supported waist height. Perfect for shooting motion or long durations for anybody from the eldery to beginners.

The Inclusive Digital Camera lens can rotate at 90 degrees, from landscape to portrait mode, to ease wrist and finger movement. Integrating four high-powered flashes to offer an exceptional 360-degree flash, the compact camera automatically rotates the screen interface to switch between landscape and portrait modes. Mounting the screen up to 90 degrees to allow wider shooting angles, the Inclusive Digital Camera is suitable for both right and left handed users, as it locates the capture and zoom buttons on either side to let the user operate camera with one hand in a natural resting position.

Powered by a lithium ion battery, the new digital camera makes use of induction charging to charge the battery. Resting elegantly in a sleek docking station, the ergonomic camera offers Bluetooth connectivity to move photographs to your computer wirelessly with the built-in memory.
