| Sticks of light save your snowbound night Posted: 09 Apr 2012 01:00 AM PDT For those about to camp in dangerous or otherwise unsettling environments, remember that you’ve always got LED lamps on your side. In this case is via Kairi Eguchi’s design LET Touch Stick, a device which breaks up into parts for easy carrying and otherwise provides solar-charged sticks of light for safety. These lights are able to stay on all night or blink off and on throughout the night so you can safely be rescued by the forces that be from your long-lost place of snow-bound camp. This design is made to be both easily packable and easy to use in emergency situations. As Eguchi notes, you’ll want to leave the charging panels revealed to the sun all day long, then toss your lights out at night if you do so happen to come into an emergency situation. And for those of you looking to get some extra use out of these lovely beasts if you’re not in trouble – just flip em on in your tent! Designer: Kairi Eguchi - Related posts:

| Foldable Tablet PC for your knee Posted: 09 Apr 2012 01:00 AM PDT The following project is a tablet made to fold into many different forms and sit nicely inside the Fujitsu brand. It’s important to note that this project was only designed to look nice inside the Fujitsu brand scheme, and is not an official project – that said, it does look so futuristic and tablet fantastic, we wouldn’t be surprised if Fujitsu’s eyebrows weren’t raised when they lay their eyes upon it. Behold the Breathebook. Here you’ll find a tablet which transcends what you already know about tablets and allows you to relax with the form of it all. You’ve got a flexible display (not all the far off from reality now if you ask Samsung), as well as the ability to work with a set of two cameras as well as inductive charging. The idea that our future tablets will be folding over the side of our leg is a real one, folks – expect this sooner than later! Designer: Anthony Yu - Related posts:

| Posted: 09 Apr 2012 12:39 AM PDT I want to compost but something about the process turns me off. The idea that there’s rotting garbage in a plastic bin on my lawn goes against every thing I deem to be “designed” about my life and to a lesser extent, my yard. Enter the KOMPOST – a ceramic cylinder you bury half way into the ground. Dump your organic matter into the top and thanks to the easy access holes, our friends the worms will turn your garbage into rich compost. Designer: Kellee Kimbro - Related posts:

| Posted: 09 Apr 2012 12:35 AM PDT The "Migrant Skyscraper" is literally mobile, a giant, thin tire with a building and green space in the center. The concept behind the structure is in an unstable world, people need the stability of self-sufficiency to truly be free, and the future of architecture can help provide that. By constructing a safe haven for residents ensures they will have food to eat and water to drink, the Migrant Skyscraper affords people freedom despite what natural and social disasters may come. The building-inside-a-wheel can stay stationary for however long residents please, but, for example, if political upheaval destabilizes a region, residents can fire up the biofuel-powered engine and cruise to a new location. The structure's exterior tire is clad in recycled rubber. Inside two buildings and surrounding green space provide everything residents need to survive, making the tire-encapsulated unit completely self-sufficient. Outside of the buildings there’s space for agriculture, including crops and livestock; within the tire, plumbing systems circulate potable, gray and black water for drinking, waste facilities and irrigation.

Simply plug the small pointer component into the 3.5mm audio jack on your iPhone and download the free app to start using the laser pointer! The “appcessory” will also sync wirelessly with your computer and let you use your iPhone as a trackpad to effortlessly navigate through presentations. Pure genius!

| Posted: 09 Apr 2012 12:01 AM PDT The Velo Chic cycle aims to reach the untapped market of female riders by providing easy-to-use, lightweight transportation with a cutesy retro aesthetic. Collapsible handlebars & a folding center hinge make it super storage-friendly to fit into a small corner, closet, or car trunk. The two-layer basket design gives users extra space to carry small loads like groceries or shopping bags. On top of all that, the bike has electric power assistance, making it a great urban bike with a subtle touch of femininity. Designer: Raymon Hung - Related posts:
