| New Word of the Day: dataSTICKIES Posted: 21 Feb 2014 07:36 AM PST YD's resident Design Strategist Hideshi Hamaguchi, who also happens to be the innovator of the USB Stick will be pleasantly surprised to see his vision take on such a productive form. dataSTICKIES are the next generation of data portability. They are graphene-based flash drives that replace USB data drives. dataSTICKIES can be carried like a stack of sticky-back notes; each of them can be simply peeled from the stack and stuck anywhere on the ODTS (Optical Data Transfer Surface), which is a panel that can be attached to the front surface of devices like computer screens, televisions, music systems, etc. The device uses a special conductive adhesive that sticks them to the ODTS and serves as the medium that transfers the data.

| Posted: 21 Feb 2014 06:45 AM PST Search Umbrella on Yanko Design and you will see many concepts that try to make it blend into the background, when on the go. Flexibler is one of the most refined solutions that I have come across. The umbrella handle bends and can be used in different positions, it retains its original form when needed. Flexibler's handle is made from flexible metal on the inside and skid-proof rubber outside. Flexibler is a 2013 Red Dot Award: Design Concept winner. Designers: Liang-Hock Poh & Ming-Hung Lin

All that is left to do, is to command, “let there be rain”. And your violets would turn rose in adulation. I wish they came with battery powered lightning bolts too. Check out the video below to see how ‘Rainmaker’ puts the soon into Monsoon. Designer: Peleg Design Guest Post by Akhil T.

| Posted: 21 Feb 2014 12:13 AM PST Ever woke up in the middle of the night and peered out of the window to make sure that your bike is still out there? Then the wall mounted indoor ‘Bike Dock’ from Berlin based design lab .flxble is meant for you. Urban living often endows us with smaller living spaces where smartly designed products can help to juice out more options. As a classic example, this dock transforms your bike into a piece of art to be proudly displayed in your living quarters. A proclamation of your eco-friendly lifestyle. The clever manipulation of a single block of wood gives this bike rack a minimalistic vibe. A felt layer protects the top tube from scratches while docking. The designers claim to be inspired by “subtle aesthetics and the impressive versatility of nature” for the essence of this product. The ‘Bike Dock’ can support upto 20 Kg to let your bike levitate in peace. Designer: Mechmet Chiousemoglou of .flxble Guest Post by Akhil T.

| Posted: 21 Feb 2014 12:01 AM PST Designer Alexander Schnell Sramek’s ‘Anti-Slip’ contemporary furniture collection stemmed from a peculiar situation. He had an empty bedroom that need furnishing and a mind that rebelled against the mass production/consumption culture of contemporary urban societies. Working with a limited space and tools, he set out on a project to furnish the room in 30 days and nights with out spending a dime on it. When creativity finds a path to flow through constraints, the end results are often pleasantly surprising. Created from discarded furniture and materials salvaged from the streets of East London, the work desk and the bed-side table he created are not just eye pleasing but functionally efficient as well. The flexible work desk is designed for constrained spaces. It comes with an accessible storage, a hidden compartment for tucking away those irritating power cables and even a set of custom speakers. The bedside table is thoughtfully separated into two surfaces that helps to segregate the User’s books and the ‘usual stuff’. This attempt is laudable as societies are presently waking up to reject their role as mass market fodder. As a generation is breaking away from the traps of industrial revolution, upscaling, recycling and value addition are loved for the values they imbibe. When you are armed with creativity, the entire city becomes your furniture store. And the best part is that you don’t need instruction manuals for assembling the furniture. Time to say ICREATE.
