The Totem of Refrigeration

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 09:43 AM PDT

Nowadays, we’re obsessed with storing everything in the fridges, but this isn’t always the best option for keeping foods fresh… especially fruits and veggies. Some are better kept in a slightly warmer, more humid environment… and for these there’s the OLTU system. Using the refrigerator’s own heat output, clay containers are kept at the ideal temperature and humidity for the needs of various foods.

The combination of containers and refrigerators creates a new, sustainable preservation system for a variety of veggies and fruits. The fridge produces heat which is distributed at the top through openings in the cap. This affects the three clay containers at the heart of the design. Over the containers are four trays where veggies that require room temperature will be placed. These veggies are then hydrated with the humidity produced by the evaporation of the lower containers.

The containers are positioned so that heat affects each differently to create various temperatures in different chambers. The two cold containers are placed at the back while a warmer one is located at the front. The cold-dry containers interior is metal so food is cooled, but unaffected by the humidity. All the containers have external openings to allow breathing and each is easily accessible for the user.

Cork Wallets And More

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 02:16 AM PDT

Someone once told me that wallets are best when designed in red; the color attracts money and keeps the coffers full. I am on the lookout for my perfect red; however interim I don't mind replacing my tired old wallet with this beautifully cork crafted one. Simply called the Subrr, the minimal design supports durability and style. Available in two versions and in two types of cork; both can hold 1-10 cards and cash; however, the cards + cash version has 3 separate compartments.

Cork is as durable as leather but water resistant, and harmless. I love the earthy color and the design philosophy behind the creation. Know more about the project here.

Eliminating Double Wash

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 01:47 AM PDT

Washing whites with colors is a recipe for disaster! For those who use only the washing machine, it means running two wash cycles and double the expenses. An efficient workaround to this situation is the Dual Wash washing machine. It features two drums, one inside the other, that allows you to wash colors and whites in separate drums, and yet at the same time. Water, electricity, time and efforts…all of them conserved at one go!

What’s your Motor Mood?

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Living amidst the notorious road-of Los Angeles, I can’t help but be in love with this clever car decal!  MotorMoods gives drivers an easy and safe way to share their feelings with other drivers. Having a good day? Display the happy. Some jerk tailgating? Show your anger. See someone cute in the car behind you? Give them a wink. Sure to make your bumper-to-bumper commute a little less frustrating and a lot more fun!

 Faces are turned on and off by a small remote control that attaches to your car's sun visor. Each face has its own remote with one easy-to-use button. You can display as many faces on your car as you’d like, and can have as many remote controls as your sun visor will fit.

Collar Of Life

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 11:32 AM PDT

The Life Jacket Plus features two ring-shaped, easy-to-grab handles on the collar, so that it is easy to grab a drowning victim and rescue them. The overall shape of the life jacket fits the body's curves and is in line with the principles of ergonomics. It is comfortable and does not fall off easily. Where was this when my ship was sinking off the coast of Singapore!

Life Jacket Plus is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.

Landscaped Showers

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 11:22 AM PDT

If you have ever used the open-shower bathrooms in luxury hotels, you'll totally connect with the Portal Shower. There is nothing more refreshing than an environment that reflects nature's bounty. The shower system consists of a screen system that showcases various natural environments. An easy fix to your daily dose of the sea, sands, and gardens!

Details:

  • Portal is a piece of electro thermal defogging glass with clear view film on both sides.
  • This film allows us to project a scene directly onto the glass while maintaining its translucent properties.
  • The glass is connected to a sensor which automatically adds a current, to prevent fogging.
  • A rear mounted projector can be built into a wall or ceiling and can project a variety of scenes.

Portal is a 2013 Bathroom Innovation Awards entry.

Designer: Matthew Simpson
