An Endlessly Adaptable Kitchen Appliance

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 08:55 AM PDT

Surphase is the ultimate in portable cooking! The multipurpose cooking appliance can be used to heat and cook or even to cool food. Thanks to its flexible form, the cooking process can be done either on a flat surface (like a hob) or bent to provide multidirectional heat like an oven. Users can even grill steak by wrapping the surface around the meat. The design’s versatility not only saves space and time at home, but its portability encourages users to prepare their own food while away or traveling.

Designer: Daan Hekking

A Shopping Assistant for Everyone

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 12:01 AM PDT

The Overview device provides shoppers with an innovative, highly visual feedback experience capable of offering audio reviews on products purchased by other users. To activate, a shopper performs a simple “check-in” when entering a store. When a popular product or store area is approached, the pulse (represented by light and vibration) of the product begins to increase on the device. Users can then listen to a library of uploaded reviews to make a more informed decision before buying, or leave their own review for a product they’ve used. Watch it in action after the jump!

Designer: Mike Skillings, Rob Gasken, ShengFeng, Wenbin Zhou, Xiangxiang Liu, & Xiaochuan Zhang

The Cleverest Clothes Hanger

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 12:01 AM PDT

In its regular form, the Inside Out Hanger looks like any ol’ clothes hanger… but with just one twist it transforms into a dual design thanks to its elastic material and clever structure! The versatile design saves space in either position and makes it possible to hang two items independently without having to remove one to access the other. It’s perfect for matching clothes, organizing accessories, or simply making the most of limited closet space. Watch it unwind —>
