Water and Wisdom

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:49 AM PST

Water & Wisdom is a charity project that transforms the cardboard packaging for bottles of mineral water into a chessboard. The bottle caps become the chess pieces. Designed for areas of need, the thoughtful design not only provides fresh water, but an intellectually stimulating activity equally important for mental health.

Designers: Chou Wan Yun & Li Chao Hsiang

Reminiscent of rolltop desks from the early 1900s, this take on the multifunctional cabinet desk incorporates modern amenities like integrated LED lights and power sockets to enhance your modern workspace. Classic, minimal styling lets you achieve that sought-after vintage look without sacrificing the necessities for powering your modern devices.

Straighten The Curls And The Crinkle

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:10 AM PST

Simple Crinkle is a very clever design; when flattened it is an iron that can be used on clothes and when bent, it is a hair straightener. I love it for its very practice approach and usability factor. When I am travelling I tend to pack in both, my hair iron and a clothes' iron. So, if the tech guys can figure out a heating system that is both safe on hair and clothes, then this design is a complete winner! What do you think?

Print Nigella’s Recipe From The Telly

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:01 AM PST

There are many reasons why the Skyworth_Memory Share has a place in the future of television evolution. Thanks to the recording feature that Satellite TV operators provide, many a times we tend to pause or replay certain segments of our favorite show, just to capture and relive that moment. I do it a lot during the complex Yoga postures or when noting a recipe from a cook show. With Skyworth_Memory Share, you simply hit the print button and it screen capture of the program gets printed.

  • Skyworth_Memory Share TV can print what appears on the screen.
  • It forges a connection between electronic files that are enjoyed on the TV screen and physical photos.
  • The base offers a printing and scanning function, yet it takes the appearance of a regular TV stand.
  • The rear surface is formed with metal sheet that is bent at the top and bottom.
  • This overcomes the high cost of plastic molds.
  • In addition, the metal can be recycled.
  • The TV is tall, thin, and lightweight.
  • Discreet rows of ventilation perforations appear at the rear.

Skyworth_Memory Share is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.

Human-powered Healing

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:01 AM PST

Exercise can cause tension and soreness in the leg muscles. Energy Storage Heating Knee Pad stores induction-generated energy during exercise, and releases heat energy to comfort aches and relieve fatigue afterward. See how it works —>

This concept makes use of functional textiles such as electro-thermal isolation yarn as well as the principle of electromagnetic induction. A coil and magnets are placed inside the kneepad to form a small electricity generator. The energy storage device can store induction-generated energy during exercise, and release heat energy to comfort aches and relieve fatigue afterward. The device heats up electro-thermal yarn, which can relax leg muscles after exercise.

A blue light indicates that energy-storage mode is on. A red light indicates heat-release mode. A switch on the kneepad activates the release of electrical energy to relieve muscle soreness after exercising. The most suitable temperature for this hot compress is 50 degrees Celsius or lower. A rechargeable lithium battery saves the energy generated by the coil for heating at a later time.

The materials used to create the kneepad include electro-thermal yarn (which heats up to relieve muscle discomfort when the power is on) and 'Far Infrared Therapeutic' fabric. Heat from the latter penetrates the subcutaneous tissues to depths of 4–10cm to promote circulation. A silicone-coated cover on the kneepad protects the central part of the knee with anatomical matching to reduce injuries. Velcro straps allow for easy adjustments.

Designer: Prof. Aqua Chuan-Yu Chen, Chou Yi-Jin
