| Posted: 16 May 2013 08:46 AM PDT From keeping record of the sun’s rotations around the earth to the face of a clock, we have always used circles to track time…. but why are our calendars square?! The Round Method is an annual calendar that begs this very question. Its circular structure corresponds to the year more sensibly than conventional calendars and with its all-encompassing visual nature, its perfect for long-term goal setting. Get it here in a digital version you can print. See how it works —> Planning with Round Calendar starts in the middle. The annual goals and resolutions can be written in the gray circle in the middle. This makes them visible at any time and they don´t get lost in daily business. The annual goals can then be divided in project phases and weekly goals by gradual detailing in the further segments. Finally, appointments, milestones or deadlines can be inserted exactly. The connection between higher-ranking goals and daily work is established and the overview, as well as the details are visible at any time. It facilitates reaching goals and being successful and is perfectly suited for staying focused on annual goals and resolutions. But like conventional calendars it also reminds you of your daily appointments or deadlines. The combination of both possibilities makes the Round Method a powerful tool. Designer: David Schellander

| Posted: 16 May 2013 01:11 AM PDT Life Triangle is a life raft featuring a multi-directional triangular shape so that it doesn't capsize easily. Apparently the triangular structure prevents the raft from turning over, a fear often associated with smaller rafts. The boat involves automatic inflation and features a movable signal light containing GPS technology. Anything that keeps you safe on the high seas has my vote! Life Triangle is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner. Designers: Prof. Shi Yuanwu, Hu Sumei & Wu Chongxiang

| Posted: 16 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT Mobe, inspired by the mobius strip, is an accessories hanger thoughtfully crafted to be simple, elegant, and highly functional. Though its shape is more complex than the average hanger, its ideal for scarves, ties, and belts. Made from a twisted strip of thin 1.5mm plywood, the design also uses a minimal amount of material. Designer: Dan Hoolahan

| Posted: 16 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT This bizarre (and awesome!) concept car might look outlandish with its exaggerated proportions, odd stance, and overall indulgent aesthetic… but then again, I just described every other Mercedes too! But the Mercedes Giuseppe is dfferent- it’s an F1 racing machine that, over-the-top as it looks, was designed in every detail to minimize air resistance. With independent winged front arms that adjust width and a flexible body that changes with the track, this thing wants to do one thing… WIN. Designer: Jaemin Park
