Modern Light Flower

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 10:13 AM PST

Inspired by the elegant shape of a flower’s petals, the PETAL lamp is a minimalist take on the curved, open form that reveals a bright LED at its center. Bright light radiates from the bottom upward through a frosted glass piece and aluminum sheet which effectively disperse ambient light evenly throughout the living environment. It’s an ultramodern design with classic inspiration!

Designer: Matej Korytar

Boring Chair Gets A Fabulous Makeover

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 08:50 AM PST

Fashion’s purpose? My peers would tell me it’s about monetizing trends. My teachers would tell me it’s a clever tool that provides social commentary. Some proclaimed fashion to be art. Drawing some distinction between clothing which is utilitarian and fashion which is design, the common thread is change and designer Jung Eunyoung illustrates that so well with her steel mesh chair. Simply by changing its cover, the chair takes on a new persona, similar to how one changes clothes to project their moods, needs, and wants.

Destroying Violence Through Peace

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 07:58 AM PST

The grenade, revolver and the nunchucks are instruments of violence and destruction. Playing on the maxim of the pen being mightier than the sword, a selection of notebooks bearing this symbolic gesture encourages us to convert violence to a tool of peace. Our creativity and knowledge expressed through words and sketches are the best means to get our points across, not through force and/or violence.

Immacuate Extension

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 02:07 AM PST

HECHEK is an electrical outlet extension which offers a simple solution to the problem of cumbersome cords. The outlet base features 3 independently rotating sockets that together form a triangle that’s perfect for wrapping excess cord around. As an added safety feature, each socket remains closed until it is rotated 90 degrees to unlock with green/red lights indicating status. Until wireless charging technology takes over, it’s a great solution for keeping things tidy.

Designers: Zohreh Pahlevan, Sina Gavili, Ghader Ebrahimian Nejad

Two-sided keyboard gets touchpad underside

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 12:02 AM PST

Those of you looking for a “Smart” trackpad for your desktop computer – that being a touchpad working with gestures for the future of gesture-friendly computing – your great day has come. Here we’ve got a conceptual design for a device called “Inside Out” – one giant swoop with a keyboard on one side and a massive touchpad on the other. Simple and enticingly effective – made with OS X and Window 8 in mind, we’re sure.

Designer: Min Koo Yeo

Bright lights for projector-friendly bike lovers

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 12:01 AM PST

It’s time to get in the laser-projector zone with none other than a design by the name of “Bike Zone”, complete with red beams for signaling. If you want to turn left, this beast of a light shines several arrow-looking symbols down at the ground to the left – the same is true of the right – imagine that! The only ones we worry for now are the squirrels – watch your eyes, guys!

This design creates a one-meter “safety zone” for the cyclist with lights that allow drivers at night to tell where the cyclist is going. Animated signal action makes for twice the safety and clarity in representation of direction while the whole design is contained in a tiny backpack-storage-ready container.

Designers: Frank Guo, Hung Wang, and Sturt Morrow

TouchOfModern Gives Seven Reasons To Make You Smile

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 12:00 AM PST

Traditionally, Indians don't exchange sharp objects (like knives, forks etc.) as gifts because it's a symbol of discord. However recently I was gifted a beautiful knife; the only difference was that there was an emotional story and message attached to the gift, making it impossible for me to do anything else but accept with humility, grace and honor. Such is the power of giving from the heart. This festive season TouchOfModern has a special lineup to make the art of giving as special as possible.

For the cook: Ceramic Onyx Set by Edge of Belgravia

These exclusively designed chef knives are a prime example of cutting-edge designing and performance. They certainly deserve a prime spot in kitchens across the globe.

For the techie: Elecom Orime Wireless Mouse by Elecom

For the fashionable: Uno 40 Black Date by Botta Design Quartz

The Kvad lamp will appeal to those who like to party responsibly, without overworking our resources. Basically the illuminated pedestals are environmentally friendly and every process from manufacturing to shipping has been examined and tweaked to achieve the ultimate goal of a low carbon footprint.

For the art lover: There is Always Hope Balloon Girl by Banksy

Banksy is perhaps the most famous anonymous street artist known (or unknown) today. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humor with graffiti done in a distinctive stenciling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.

For the entertainer: Madison by Anywhere Fireplaces

Emanating rich heat and nothing more, these surprisingly affordable fireplaces propose an inviting atmosphere, leaving out unnecessary soot, vents or gas lines. An ideal choice for those who like to entertain a whole lot!
