Cats Love Modern Design Too Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:38 AM PST My friend has a cat. The cat has a scratching post. It looks like a stick wrapped in twine. The cat uses it but my friend keeps it tucked away in the corner of his living room because it’s fugly. Nobody got time for that. That’s why I’m excited to see our pal James Owen has put his Leo cat scratching post up on Kickstarter! Constructed of a wood scratching column with a polished 11" diameter aluminum base. The smooth and sculptural form is timeless. It is designed to fit into a modern residential space and be complimentary to the home environment when not in use. The wood grain is pliable enough for a cat's claw-sharpening activities but sturdy enough to keep it's overall shape. The contrasting pattern and direction of the grain help to disguise kitty's claw marks allowing for years of use. Support this project people. CAT LOVERS REJOICE!

Bike in a Bag Posted: 11 Nov 2014 02:10 AM PST One of the biggest problems with a bike is its portability. Ironic?! Right. You can't carry the conventionally designed cycles in trains easily. It takes more than just some bend and shift to fold bikes and which is why we have a very new direction to the design with the Kit Bike. Designed to be a bike in a bag, the wheels and parts completely dismantle and pack into a backpack! Features: Built from simple twist joints and hollow tubes all mounted from one side. Consists of simple twist joints that lock with aluminum hollow tubes using a specially designed key. When not in use, the bike can be stowed in a stylish leather bag that is divided into 3 sections to store the 2 wheels on either side or the components in between. The design incorporates 21 parts including tires, belt (drive belt), seat, pedals and locking joints.

The Printable Prosthetic Posted: 11 Nov 2014 12:01 AM PST Printhesis started as a project to develop a new prosthetic limb for one girl but resulted in a revolutionary design that’s made more affordable and available thanks to 3D printing. Noticing that the girl had replaced her expensive, heavy fiberglass/titanium limb with simplistic pliers because it was lighter and faster to use,  designer Roel Deden recreated the functionality in a cheaper printable solution with the same ergonomics and modularity of her original prosthesis. The price savings? Over $8000! Designer: Roel Deden - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Explore wonderful concepts from around the world! Shop CKIE - We are more than just concepts.

Remember This?! Posted: 11 Nov 2014 12:01 AM PST Another intriguing design by Stephan Siepermann, the Locky series is a clever twist on a familiar fragment that’s presented in a different and surprising material for a fresh look that’s all its own. The iconic industrial locker from our school days is reborn in handsome solid oak wood with a wooden padlock to match. No longer for books and backpacks, it makes for an ideal entryway coatrack or wardrobe. It also achieves the ever-elusive “warm” industrial aesthetic opposed to its stark metal counterparts.  Designer: Stephan Siepermann - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Explore wonderful concepts from around the world!
