iFresh Scan

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 03:49 AM PST

The I Fresh is a food scanner equipped with a camera that captures the barcode on the food packaging, just before you store it in the fridge or cupboard. It hooks up to the fridge like a fridge magnet and can store data like the date of purchase. The idea behind the device is to make sure you consume fresh food and don’t eat the spoilt.

This is how it works:

  • After scanning, the user types in the number of days until the food expires on the micro screen.
  • I Fresh will remind the user to check the food in the fridge via light and voice.
  • A green interface indicates that the food is still of optimal nutritional value. When the interface turns orange, it indicates that the expiry date is drawing near.

I Fresh is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner!

Designers: Yang Fei, Chen Xiaofeng & Sun Yingjie

The Dry Wave

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 03:39 AM PST

The Wave Dry is an innovative concept that looks at drying clothes faster and in a cost-effective way. It basically is this solar device that can be charged via the windows of the house. The soaked up solar goodness is used to power the drying UV lights and hot air. Although it looks to be a bit bulky for now, I think a couple of refinements down the line, this idea can do some great good!

Bling Love: LINEA Collection, WIN Jewelry Worth$150!

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 01:07 AM PST

Say Aye: all those who love and get inspired by the iconic architecture in the Bay area and beyond; AYE! Taking her inspiration from shapes and engineering concepts from San Francisco's diverse urban landscape, designer Vanessa Gade is launching a whole new jewelry collection titled LINEA. Past collections have been inspired by art deco architecture, ikebana, suspension bridges and criss-crossing power lines & I will not be surprised to find a hint of the Golden Gate Bridge, Sutro Tower and the SFMOMA, in some of these new pieces.

To WIN

Visit here and come back to YD and tell us what is your favorite design from this LINEA Jewelry Collection and why?

Contest Rules

  • To Win a Vanessa Gade Jewelry Design worth $150, visit this page and come back to the comments section in this post to leave your answer to the question above.
  • Standard Rules Apply.
  • Contest Closes: 14th November, midnight PST.
  • Free Shipping to North America.

In her own words Vanessa states, "I am so heavily influenced by the members of the Yanko Design community (including architects and designers) that I am excited to introduce my work to them and hear their feedback. I am hoping it is something that they will resonate with." Giving us a little detail about the materials used, Vanessa says that each piece is hand fabricated in precious metals. The holes are precisely plotted, drilled and engineered so that no matter what the design is on the inside, the piece remains perfectly balanced.

The chain glides freely and is the focus of the design itself. In this case the function becomes the form, fixed and fluid all at once. Vanessa loves to play with the variables of movement and suspension, creating a piece that is kinetic and sculptural, where the negative space becomes an integral part of the composition.

Handcrafted in San Francisco, Vanessa stands for a designer making modern jewelry rooted in traditional craftsmanship.

Give a shout-out to this true YD girl on her Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest pages.

A Boobie’s Best Friend!

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 12:01 AM PST

As if the stress of wondering what a mammogram will show isn’t enough, the process is painful and the machinery scary! To make things a little easier, the SOUL digital mammography system focuses on patient-centered design. For their confidence, the patient’s position allows them full view of the procedure.. Soft, rounded edges are found where it counts and contact padding ensures maximum comfort. Colored in gentle pastels and cozy pink, it’s friendlier from the start!

Cozy Cradle for Your iStuff

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 12:01 AM PST

In designing the Spool Dock, Quell&Co sought to create an object that felt a little more like home and a lot less like a piece of machinery. This beautifully crafted dock offers up a place to charge your iPad  Mini, iPod or iPhone while simultaneously managing the cable. Taking design cues from everyday objects like vases and wooden table/chairs, the design’s marino felt and hardwood bring warmth and familiarity to your desktop.

Designer: Quell&Co.
