Yanko Design - Form Beyond Function |  |
| Posted: 30 Oct 2013 08:28 AM PDT The Noma Shelf is a statement on habitual consumption, reminding us of the things we already own, while accommodating the new. Based on the traditional Japanese tokonoma, the shelf is sized for displaying small artistic objects. However, if you slide the shelf away from the wall, a stretchy lycra pouch is revealed for storing cherished items and trinkets. The pouch grows as items are added, so the form is completely dictated by the contents and quietly reminds us of our accumulation as it swells! The sculptural form created on the underside give the concealed items an almost ghostly yet celebratory presence, while the top of the shelf encourages frequent curation of the objects to be displayed. Designer: Zak Stratfold

| Posted: 30 Oct 2013 06:48 AM PDT Love this concept of the Fridge Magnet that features a QR code-scanning function. Basically it provides information on the shelf life of food and keeps a tab on the expiry dates. In a good way, it also acts as an interactive, informative tool for children. It displays the image of the food item, its name, and place of origin, production date, proper temperature for preservation, and expiry date. Here is how it works:
Fridge Magnet is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner! Designers: Hu Yaxing, Chen Zhipeng, Liao Haibo & Tang Yigang

The HexA is a minimally designed camping cooking stove that hopes to eliminate the fuss of carrying a big one. It folds up to a compact hex tube and unfolds like a flower! Yes, I am in a poetic mood today! Designers: Ha Joo Yeon, Yoon Seung Hyun & Park Hung Jun

| Posted: 30 Oct 2013 12:01 AM PDT While most vehicles operate on 2 or more wheels, the Infinitlar concept vehicle IS a wheel! The autonomous, hydrogen powered vehicle is an extraordinary vision of future personal transportation we could be using 30 years from now. It aims to provide users in densely populated urban areas the creature comforts of home while they travel. It’s more like a gyroscopically stabilized “room on wheels” that delivers you from point A to point B so you can focus on other things like work or relaxing! Designer: Jex Chau

| Posted: 30 Oct 2013 12:01 AM PDT The Ru urban beehive concept focuses on aesthetics to encourage the reintegration of bees into city environments. The idea is simple: by enhancing the aesthetic, a deeper emotional connection can be created with an object that has stereotypically negative connotation. With its sculptural form, the Ru hive might improve human acceptance and raise awareness to the recent bee population decline. The beehive would be installed in parks, on greenhouse roofs or other predetermined urban areas. Designer: Marc-André Roberge
