| Posted: 15 Jul 2014 09:58 AM PDT On the first glance, you can think of the 'Life Trail Traffic Signs' as standard road signs. However, they can quickly change to evacuation signs, should the need arise. The signs feature sensors that automatically activate when disaster warning alert is triggered from the Disaster Prevention Center. The signs adjust to show the most efficient route to the nearest shelter. Much needed! Life Trail is a 2014 international design excellence award – Finalist Designers: Ma Hui-Chuan, Cheng Yan-Jang & Fan Cheng-Kuei

| Posted: 15 Jul 2014 09:47 AM PDT Mind Power is potent and it can manipulate or simulate circumstances that may seem fictitious and surreal. Based on this premise is the plate and glass combo of the 'SET TO MIMIC' tableware. The idea is to put a microchip in us, which interacts with our brain cells so that it can register smells, tastes and textures of our favorite food. When bland or 'health foods' are placed on the plate, the microchip manipulates our senses to feel as if we are eating our favorite food. For example, you could be eating a plate of lettuce, but 'SET TO MIMIC' makes you feel as if you are eating a cheeseburger! This concept is a part of the semi-finalists shortlisted by the 2014 Electrolux Design Lab Competition. Designer: Sorina Răsteanu

| Posted: 15 Jul 2014 07:20 AM PDT FLIP is the latest in the wearable biometric tech craze, but quite different from fitness bands and smartwatches. Rather than on your wrist, the device adorns your ear like jewelry for a more discrete and comfortable look and feel that one might even forget is there. Easily paired with smart devices, FLIP acts as a pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep analyzer and more, providing real-time bio-data expressed in a simplified, user-friendly app. Designer: Avantari Medical Technologies

| Posted: 15 Jul 2014 12:01 AM PDT Part of a larger collection of flat-pack furniture, the Lese Chair’s defining character is found in its clever construction. Composed of CNC milled beech plywood and polycarbonate, the only screws you’ll find are in the seat back and leg extensions. The rest of the structure is held together using 3D puzzle principles. So puzzling that you’ll be glad you have a place to sit and think about it! Designer: Konstantin Achkov

| Posted: 15 Jul 2014 12:01 AM PDT When it comes to timekeeping, you might say wristwatches are in a battle with our digital devices. The Time Reminder watch is just that- a reminder that watches are not only our original personal time tellers, but an artistic personal statement for the individual. Its ultra-minimal aesthetic feature two solid turning disks with embossed hands and a snag-proof concave face. The strap is made of soft touch rubber and features a simple clasp fastening system. So sleek you need to use the embossed dot on the underside to tell which way to wear it! Designer: Antoine des Horts
