Love Origami? How About A Speaker!

Posted: 12 Jul 2012 06:56 AM PDT

The Viva Speakers are inspired by origami and are extremely portable. Good enough to slip into your pocket! The docking speakers work well with the iPhone and other Android phones. It works with Bluetooth syncing as well. To open it to shape out as a cube, simply counter twist the top and bottom in one rhythmic swipe. Music beams out from all four sides creating an enigmatic surround system. The design uses empty spaces of the cube as a soundbox and it has a great quality of bass sound. I love the idea of teaming aluminum with chrome accents.

Prismatic Car

Posted: 12 Jul 2012 06:41 AM PDT

To quote designer Janina (love the name), "This car will act like a visual perfume." Of all the descriptions for projects that I have come across, calling a vehicle 'visual perfume' has to be the first. However I do agree with Janina, the refractive effect of the car looks to be mesmerizing and poetic. Inspired by the prism, the car refracts and divides 'white light' into its DNA colors, red green and blue; to create a stunning illusion of colors. A set of wheels as flashy as this, who needs anything else on the autobahn!

A New Meaning to Seahorse

Posted: 12 Jul 2012 12:16 AM PDT

I love the idea of exotic car brands crossing over into the uncharted territory of watercraft design, and this is one beautiful example. Inspired by the 458 Italia, the Ferrari Elegante speedboat has all the style, creative flair, passion cutting-edge technology, and race-derived DNA that enthusiasts love about the brand with the prancing pony.

Modern Monolith

Posted: 12 Jul 2012 12:01 AM PDT

The idea behind Massimo Iosa Ghini’s Quattro Punti installation was the formation of a bond between legacy and modernity, tradition and innovation. The monolith itself is a distant but familiar fragment of ancestral typologies, but is contrasted by LED illumination that seems to materialize from inside to outside, bringing the structure to life.

The stem-like tower is faced with laser-cut ceramic slaps that have been finished to resemble quarry stone. LED technology forms a luminous mesh and a changing geometry, which is a symbolic continuation of past, present and future.

Automatic Grill Light

Posted: 12 Jul 2012 12:01 AM PDT

This idea was born in a backyard and will leave you wondering, “why didn’t I think of that!?” – The GRILLIT light attaches to any outdoor grill to provide instant illumination to the cooking space each time the hood is opened. Simply slide and twist the barrel to direct light where needed. It’s a great “set it and forget it” solution!
