| Posted: 11 Nov 2013 10:10 AM PST The latest addition to the pachyderm family, the Koya humidifier was designed with kids in mind! The shortness of the humidifier makes the controls accessible by children of almost any height, and its simplified interface makes it easy to operate. Its fun, elephant-inspired aesthetic enhances rather than takes away from the vibe of play rooms, and encourages kids to learn about and use the appliance. Designer: Dongsung Jung

| Surround Sound With Smart Audio Phones Posted: 11 Nov 2013 07:19 AM PST Audio Phones is a surround sound cell phone that uses a 5.1 multi-channel audio system. The concept addresses the need for innovation in the field of sound technology in Smartphones. Unless you pair the phone with great portable speakers or headphones, you feel shortchanged in the audio department. In short, Audio Phones is a surround-sound cell phone that produces clear, pure, and overwhelming sound performance. Inspired by the stingray, the phone has been designed as such that each audio output point is hidden under a raise in the phone's surface.
Audio Phones is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner! Designer: Wang He

| Posted: 11 Nov 2013 07:06 AM PST Our body clock has been designed to be woken-up by the elements of nature; for example sunlight filtering in and the bird chirping their morning tunes. City life has kinda spoilt it for all of us and the Revive Alarm Clock hopes to set it right. Mimicking gradual sunrise about half an hour before the waking-up time, the Revive starts beaming light and awakening the body. This action makes the body recognize morning and your melatonin levels drop, before you even wake up. Thus you wake up feeling refreshed and highly aware. Revive features Bluetooth and can sync with cellphones and music players. It even works with an app that runs on iOS and Android devices. Designer: Jason Putra

| Posted: 11 Nov 2013 05:28 AM PST For an average person on a busy day, the 10-hour talktime that your Smartphone says it will provide seems like an empty promise. Fact is, you run out of battery even before you make that most important call of the day. Emails need to be checked and answered, SMS and IM's keep pouring in and all of these are a juice drain. Truth is, you need a BOLT! The world’s smallest portable battery backup and wall charger combined!
I asked the team at Fluxmob, what led them to create the BOLT, and their simple answer was "passion about mobile technology." It makes perfect sense if you ask me. This is an era where Smartphones are not just gadgets but an extension of our personalities and a tool that makes life simpler for us. We no longer need to stay strapped to our desktops to answer emails. Overseas Skype calls are made in a jiffy, stand-alone cameras are redundant and more importantly my designer friends get to sketch on the go!
All these factors make BOLT a true grab and go solution. It has been intentionally designed to replace your standard wall charger. It automatically charges with your phone and is ready to go when you are.
Team Fluxmob summarizes their story very eloquently, "As the speed of our gadgets increases, there is one component that has seemed to flat line. Battery life. There are portable batteries on the market, but none of them met our expectations. To remedy this, we set out to create something smart, simple, and accessible to consumers." Thus began the BOLT inception.
As strong believers of packing light, especially if you're always on the go, and need to be prepared for life's daily challenges, the team created a charger that reflects their minimalistic lifestyle.
Existing portable batteries on the market are typically geared for emergency charging. What this means is that either the batteries are too big to be practical or they don't hold enough charge to be useful everyday. And since a majority of the other battery backup on the market can ONLY be charged via USB, BOLT's design eliminated this issue.
A yearning for a simplistic solution pushed for the creation of BOLT, the world’s smallest battery backup and wall charger combined.

Focused around ecology and utility, with the design cuts the bike down to its bare essentials. Steam pressed bamboo is used in place of plastic for all of the fairings, to give it a unique, raw aesthetic that draws viewer’s eyes to the unconventional engine design as well as the air tank that replaces the fuel tank.
