| Posted: 04 Sep 2012 09:21 AM PDT The Blink sink stands alone in a clothes-washing world that’s dominated by technology. It’s a great and simple addition the laundry room that makes the occasional hand-wash a little easier. The ceramic tank includes a custom fit pine board with ridges to facilitate scrubbing garments. Better yet, it’s pretty snazzy looking! Designer: Sanindusa - Related posts:

| Posted: 04 Sep 2012 08:11 AM PDT It’s easy to understand why those with hearing impairments miss out on a lot of activities, especially ones that involve water. This thoughtful hearing aid designs called PressureAID aims to expand their participation by providing audio assistance in and out of the water. A specialized skin ensure that it stays secure in the ear canal so the wearer can slip in and out of the water without concern. With an appearance similar to normal earbuds, the design is also a more stylish solution. Designer: Nicholas Marks - Related posts:

| Posted: 04 Sep 2012 06:22 AM PDT With an aim to provide a fuller sensory experience, The Refresh was designed to act as a portable device that instantly cools your beverage. Essentially this means no more warm diet coke! Keeping up with the theatrics of good design, the appliance helps form a light condensation, followed by an enticing mist that envelopes the beverage bottle. Using advanced thermoelectric technology, the electric current causes the internal semiconductor nodes to instantly freeze. As the designer explains, after the beverage is cooled Refresh converts the excess energy back into its rechargeable battery. Materials: Clear coat stainless steel over an icy blue frosted glass which creates a smooth, cold and refreshing feel. Designer: James Skeggs - No related posts.

| Posted: 04 Sep 2012 12:01 AM PDT Inspired by the infrastructure of the internet, Moving Platforms is a completely interconnected rail system where local trams connect to a network of non-stop high speed trains enabling passengers to travel from their local stop to a local address at their destination (even another country) without getting off a train. Sounds far out right?! Hit the jump and watch the interview with the designer to see how it works! Moving Platforms involves a network of high speed trains that run non-stop between two ends of a continent, Los Angeles to New York for instance. The high speed trains run on a line that passes outside towns and cities with a network of local feeder trams that carry passengers from local stops out to meet them. As they near each other, the high speed train slows down slightly and the tram speeds up alongside it, at which point the trains physically connect via a docking system allowing passengers to transfer directly across from the tram to the high speed train and vice versa. Once transfers are complete, the trains separate, with the high speed train speeding up again along its route, and the tram slowing down and going back into the town or city centre with the newly disembarked passengers. The tram, in effect, acts as a moving station. The same system could also be used by passengers transferring from one high speed train to another. Designer: priestmangoode
