Of Cats and Fish

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 08:12 AM PDT

Cats and pet fish have been inextricably linked for ages, usually with the fur balls coming out on top. Until now! This clever companion house celebrates this storied relationship, finally putting the cat in the belly of the fish! It not only makes for a comfy resting space for kitty, but is open-aired and sun-filled to prevent separation anxiety.

The Chores Servant

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 03:33 AM PDT

We are the entitled generation – entitled to benefits whether we have worked for it or not! To conform to this cushy lifestyle a state of the art servant for cleaning chores at home is more of a necessity than a luxury. The TODY features four arms that follows voice commands and cleans floors as well as fabrics. Think curtains, bed sheets etc. Using its 4 arms, it can climb, move and hang to reach areas like seats, curtains, windows and more.

TODY is a part of the 2014 Electrolux Design Lab Competition.

Designer: Rana Alper

Buzz Lightyear in a Tube

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 03:20 AM PDT

The Easy Find is medical equipment that will work very well in emergency situation like disasters. Typically IV Fluids are transparent and keeping an eye on them is a persistent task. When the ER is flooded with patients, things may get chaotic and thus this reusable glass infusion bottle with a specially designed dropper lights up when the drip-solution runs out. The glow is a clear indication that some action is required.

  • The reusable glass infusion bottle features a specially designed dropper.
  • The dropper is fitted with a dial that can be set to calibrate with the volume of liquid in the bottle.
  • When it runs out, a colored light is triggered.
  • This project is a 2014 Red Dot Award – Design Concept winner.

Designers: Huang Mingguang, Li Fu & Wang HongLi

Finally, Rest for the Weary!

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Can’t sleep because of all the noise? No prob! Ipno allows you to find sleep even in the most disruptive of environments. This personal-size speaker broadcasts white noise: a sound that includes all frequencies and has hypnotic qualities that allow the brain to disconnect external noise while soothing the heart rate and clearing the mind. Good things when you’re trying to catch ZZZs! Simultaneously, microphones in the back capture surrounding noise which is then transmitted to a Digital Signal Processor to cancel out the external noise.

Designer: Clémence Germain

Bespoke Baby Bed

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Nuture is a concept that replaces the core and support layers of traditional infant mattresses with a strap system that allows for a bespoke design to be created for every child. The aluminum frame provides rigidity with adjustable tension straps that allow the profile to be altered. This means parents can tailor the mattress contours to their baby to help prevent flat head syndrome, limit acid reflux and more. It’s also extendable to adapt to a range of infant beds & grows as the child does, all the way until they transition to a regular bed!

Designer: Iain Mortimer
