| Posted: 24 Oct 2011 01:51 AM PDT Tha Business is a self defense kit designed for those who find themselves in sticky situations. “I thought it'd be pretty knarly to design a deck of self defense cards. Things such as brass knuckles, pepper spray, pocket knives & whistles to name a few,” says the designers. All this from a few inspiring trips thru San Francisco’s sketchier neighborhoods. I don’t advocate violence even in self defense (ahem – brass knuckles) but these are slick and unassuming self defense weapons.

| Unofficial Nooka Concept and We Like It Posted: 24 Oct 2011 01:46 AM PDT Whenever a concept comes into our box, I can usually make a quick decision as to whether or not it’ll make it to the blog by giving it a once-over. But when it’s a concept inspired by and designed for an international brand, my immediate response will either be harsh or laboriously complimentary. Fortunately this concept falls into the latter. I know Nooka and its head henchman Matt Waldman so I can say with certainty, this concept watch takes the Nooka DNA and twists it into something new. Kudos. Nooka is a dichotomy with their minimalist aesthetics accompanied by some of the most complicated time faces. It’s a place where art, design and logic meet. If you don’t have an affinity for at least two of those pre-requisites, you’re never going to understand Nooka. Designer Mario Troise does. This watch is minimalist, elegant, futuristic, easy to make and forces you to think of time yet in another visual way – this time made of up twelve boxes each made of up single pixels. Love or hate, I think it’s definitely Nooka. Designer: Mario Troise ----------     |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2011 12:12 AM PDT The Eco Light is an EL coated bulb made out of paper. This simple and minimal design removes the burden of packaging and disposal of used bulbs for a better environment. Their kitsch looks up the glam quotient and make them a trendy display. As the designer puts it, "once the paper bulb is no longer useable, consumers can simply change a new paper bulb for their lamp and the old one can be recycled." Eco Light is a 2011 Liteon Awards winning entry. Designer: Tien-Ho Hsu ----------     |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT The adorable Alianoid is a humidifier guised as an alien robot that keeps venting steam in anger! With stubby legs and rotund demeanor, this babe from space is bound to captivate your attention. Simple controls in the form of a dial indicate the water levels and input. Please Lee, put me up in your list as prospective buyers, I so want this! Size: H510xW330xD330 Designer: Minwoo Lee ----------     |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT Mumbai, my hometown is famous for its harsh monsoons and I have seen people come up with ingenious ideas to protect themselves from the rain-wrath. But trust me nothing beats the Umbrella Coat Raincoat concept. Simply put, it's a clever combination of a raincoat, waterproof trousers and an umbrella. The biggest plus being that it leaves your hands free to carry or do other stuff. Something that is completely not possible with an umbrella. Ideal for the Mumbai Police who brave the rains to control the horrid traffic snarls! Designer: Athanasia Leivaditou ----------     |
