Hands-Free Hairdryer Posted: 18 Nov 2013 09:45 AM PST The modern woman’s life is a tough one- raising kids, working, taking care of the house… all while staying attractive and beautiful, of course! The Yuca hairdryer is here to help make that part a little easier. The design is ergonomically adapted to be held in the variety of positions required for getting your hairdo just right. Better yet, it can rest flat on any surface, leaving your hands free to comb, brush your teeth, or even use your cellphone. The result is mind-blowing freedom!

Shelter Awareness Posted: 18 Nov 2013 01:11 AM PST The Life-Light is a unique directional system that includes inflatable balloons integrated on streetlights. During an emergency situation, the balloons inflate and guide people to the nearest shelter. It displays the most efficient route, thus speeding the navigation process. Life-Light is automatically activated by the central service system when a disaster warning alert is activated. The system inflates balloons around streetlight poles, which indicate evacuation information and allow people to take a precise and speedy route to a shelter. It is installed on streetlights at intervals of fifty meters. The light flashes on and off, and a sound alert is also incorporated. The dual mode of communication allows the system to be understood by those with visual or hearing impairments. The lack of complex language or lettering also allows foreigners to readily understand it. The system's battery is charged by the city's electricity supply as well as by solar power, so even if the city's power grid goes down, it can still function. The system also uses smart technology; if a route is blocked by a collapsed building, for example, the system updates and leads people to the next closest shelter point. Life-Light is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner. Designers: Lee Jae Yong & Kim Pill Yoon - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Explore wonderful concepts from around the world!

Hairy Situation Posted: 18 Nov 2013 01:01 AM PST Hairfall is a common problem across all generations and gender. It is kinda highlighted when we brush our hair or use a hair dryer. Unruly strands breakaway and gather in an embarrisong pile on the floor, and many a times we don't find the time to clean the mess. With the Vacuum Dryer one can easily remedy the situation. One end of the nozzle works as a hair dryer and the other as a handy vacuum cleaner. Awesome!

The Luckiest Lamp Posted: 18 Nov 2013 12:01 AM PST 7… it’s by far the most famous number, and probably the one most associated with happiness. It’s considered the luckiest in a countless number of cultures- so much so that 3 of them in a row will get you big money in Vegas! In Chinese culture it’s highly regarded because it sounds like the Chinese word for “life essence.” You get the idea… To honor the digital, this lamp takes special inspiration from its simple yet effective form. The shape is naturally suited for a desktop lighting purpose, casting bright LED light beneath its unimposing structure. Optional features on this design include a built in charging dock for your phone, as well as integrated speakers for streaming your fav tunes.

Twist it Table Posted: 18 Nov 2013 12:01 AM PST Christian Reyes’ Giros table is characterized by a warm, simplistic aesthetic mixed with a subtle, customizable burst of color. The table’s central stem is threaded, making it possible to raise the two nested surfaces simply by rotating them. The user can place belongings on either surface, or collapse the levels altogether depending on needs of the moment. Easy to construct and even easier to operate, the Giros table finds harmony in minimal construction and versatile functionality.
