Butt Stamp And More [NSFW]

Posted: 03 Dec 2012 08:31 AM PST

Got to hand it to designer duo Yongjae Jeon and Wonpark Jang for giving us a lighter side to expressing ourselves. The Mark – Stool and Clip & Pin are two kinds of stamps; the first is an embossed seat that leaves a stamp on your butt with a quirky message. The second is a set of clips and pins that can be used to stamp your finger pads. Giving non-verbal communication a new lease of life, combining the two sets can definitely add a dash humor to our daily drudgery!

Does Camera Size Matter?

Posted: 03 Dec 2012 07:00 AM PST

At a recent event I was up in arms, struggling with my DSLR in an awkward stance, trying to capture the best shots for the day. In walked my friend with an adept digital camera and took some amazing photographs (if not better), and he didn't even have to struggle with his equipment. So the question is, does high-tech photography equipment have to be bulky and difficult to manage? The IO Camera Concept says no!

The IO Camera Concept shows that the large-format camera can be built seductively ergonomic. The multi-format digital camera platform can achieve 35mm format convenience and quality. It supports large-format (up to 90 x 120 millimeters or even more) digital sensors. With its flexible changeable bayonet, it supports the majority of contemporary middle- and large-format lenses.

Features:

IO feels comfortable in your hands, is great to take along for point-and-shoot photography, and its supporting capabilities of tilt-shift techniques (when using an external tripod and flex) are convenient to use.

The concept is to redesign and give a new face to the typical large-format camera and counteract the stereotype that large-format cameras are always big, heavy, and could even have a wooden body. The goal is the creation of a light and elegant camera with a sensitive touchscreen, without forgoing the large-format sensor. This modern technology would give you the opportunity to get extra high-resolution images, a shallow depth of field, as well as dynamic perspective control (tilt-shift).

  • The changeable bayonet construction allows any kind of lens from any system available on the market.
  • Its AMOLED (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) shutter is installed in the camera body, so you can use shutterless lenses (from focal plane shutter systems).
  • It is absolutely soundless and lightweight.
  • The sensor cooling system is important for mirrorless cameras (as the sensor is working permanently).
  • The symmetrical handle grips allow good ergonomics, for right- and left-handed people.
  • The large, sensitive touchscreen allows you good operation and control. You don't need a laptop to see the details anymore.

The IO Camera Concept is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.

Choose Your Lean

Posted: 03 Dec 2012 12:02 AM PST

The INDU chair is composed of two entirely separate structures that allow the seating angle to be adjusted simply by shifting the position of the seat on one of three notches on the backrest. No mechanical systems to worry about or replace over time- just simple, intuitive construction that’s easy to work with. Further increasing the object’s lifespan, the fabric seat and back are easily removable and safe to machine-wash, making it super-easy to clean too.

With Click & Grow Everyone Can Become A Gardener

Posted: 03 Dec 2012 12:00 AM PST

When Click & Grow became a part of the YD Roadshow in Chennai, I was both ecstatic and weary. Ecstatic that YD will be showcasing such an innovative product and weary that I was to nurture and grow the plant for the event. A beautiful Basil and Cockscomb smartpot arrived at my doorstep and I got started almost immediately. I'll skip the details on how-to-grow, as it is explained adeptly in the video after the jump and get to more about the experience of growing my first plant ever!

If I were to sum it up in a phrase, then the experience of growing a Click & Grow Plant was 'the easiest thing I have ever done!' I don't have a green thumb and zero knowledge of fertilizing a plant; however this did not hamper the progress of my baby.

Basically the Click & Grow smart garden is the combination of a water reservoir and a smart cartridge. The cartridge houses the seeds, sensor, soil and fertilizer for the plant and draws in water from the reservoir. A small pump draws in the required water at regular intervals so that the plant doesn't suffer from under or overwatering.

All you need from your end is water and four AA batteries; that is it! You can literally fill-it, shut-it and forget-it. In addition to the sleek white smartpot, which is a brilliant addition to a modern apartment, there is the award-winning starter kit package, which is an example of astute design and makes Click & Grow an ideal gift.

Click & Grow has a special offer for Yanko Design readers!

The Click & Grow plants are for those who have a green thumb but no time for nurturing their plants as well as for those who love plants but don’t know musch about them. Here is a special offer for all Yanko Design Readers, so that they experience the convenience of a Click & grow plant.

  • Click & Grow starter kit with cockscomb 25% off with the following voucher code: YANKODESIGN
  • Offer expires on the 9th of December 2012, midnight PST.
