| Posted: 04 Sep 2013 01:11 AM PDT Inspired by the coco pod, we have here the Coco air cleaner, which recreates an atmosphere of a meadow freshness in your urban home. It doesn’t use electrical energy to function, instead the forces of integrated magnets within each pod create a slight movement of gathered COCOs to power it. This air purifier has a shell and changeable aroma with air cleaning capsules inside. Looks and feels fresh! Coco is a 2013 Electrolux Design Lab Semifinalist. Designer: Kristīne Bula

| Posted: 04 Sep 2013 01:01 AM PDT It’s bad enough that you have broken your arm and have to be out of action for almost three to four weeks; you also have to endure an unsightly cast. Unless something like this really tech-enabled U-Cast pops up! Totally impressed by its innovative approach of incorporating design into something very medical. Designer: Joh Minwho

| The Optimus Prime of Dog Sleds Posted: 04 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT Groups that live on the snow tundra must often keep two or more entirely different types of dog sleds for their various transportation needs…. one for passenger, one for cargo, another for single riders and so on. The Nerpa sled was designed to make the transition between uses much easier by using a moveable system of joints and connections that quickly transform to accommodate different loads. Aluminum and carbon elements also make it lighter and more durable. Designer: Anna Khitrova

| Posted: 04 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT The average person doesn’t keep construction goggles or a shop-vac handy, so it’s likely that you know just how irritating it can be to have dust and debris flying all over the place (especially in your eyes) when you’re using a drill! This ingenious device called the Motorless Vacuum uses the drills own rotational power to move the internal fan and create suction which draws dust into the reservoir. After you’re finished drilling, just remove the peripheral and dump the sawdust! Designer: Seokhui Kim

| Posted: 04 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT As humans, we’re naturally inclined to think “that could never happen to me,” especially when it comes to getting lost! Despite our egos, emergency situations do happen so having the right safety equipment is key. Designed specifically for hiking, the Sound of Light whistle provides novice and expert hikers with an additional level of visible and audible protection. The super bright LED and ear-shattering whistle serve as a beacon for rescuers while a built-in compass helps hikers navigate their way out of danger. Designer: Chi Kuai
