Zen-Inducing Stool Posted: 04 Jul 2013 10:27 AM PDT The Opus stool finds inspiration in traditional Chinese medicine where the balance between mind and body is key in keeping physically and mentally agile. The ball-based structure encourages the user to take control of their balance by placing them in a new position between traditional seat and upright standing. In this posture the center mass of the individual is located under the spine, positioning them in a stance where mind/body harmony will keep them comfortable.

Holy Smoke! Posted: 04 Jul 2013 03:45 AM PDT C-Thru is a helmet that is designed to help firefighter walk through dense smoke during smoke diving search and rescue missions. Time constrains of six minutes per mission, makes it imperative that the gear is optimal. C-thru gives them the edge thanks to the wire-frame vision of the interior geometry, surrounding the smoke diver. Using technological enhancements, the helmet provides a visual map of the interiors so that it becomes easy for the firefighter to locate the victims. This is how it works: C-Thru's vision system integrates many technologies to aid firefighters, such as a head-mounted projection display, optical thermal camera, cloud computing, selective active noise cancellation and target acquisition. The optical thermal camera captures the imaging of the surrounding area and sends the data to the smoke diver leader's handheld device. The data is calculated there and sent back to the helmet. Newly generated 3D wire-frame data is projected by the head-mounted projectors through the retro-reflective front visor of the helmet. This wire-frame outline of their surroundings helps firefighters find a path through the building and locate victims.

Be a healthy sitter… serious! Posted: 04 Jul 2013 12:36 AM PDT Did you know that sitting is an epidemic??? Yes, honey…sitting!

Refined Ripples Posted: 04 Jul 2013 12:20 AM PDT The Extraction Quattro washbasin achieves its elegant form by being  cut and turned from a single piece of ripple-shaped stone. The resulting piece mimics the ripple in a smooth, curvilinear and geometric bathroom centerpiece. A perfect compliment to the basin, the extra cut-out material from the original stone makes for a great wall ornament. At a glance, the basin appears to have fallen directly from the wall and onto the surface of the counter!
