Radiating Bonfire

Posted: 04 Dec 2012 10:08 AM PST

The Urban Bonfire is a classy modular radiator that is inspired by its namesake. This independent heating device emits strong visual cues that ensure you don't forget to shut it off! With the upcoming winters in the horizon, handy and thoughtful details on heating devices can go on to help save energy bills to quite an extent.

As the designer explains, "Urban Bonfire is controlled by tapping the base with one's foot rather than bending over to turn a dial, as is the typical mode of operation for radiator heaters. Tapping the base of the bars pushes them inward at the bottom. Correspondingly, the top of the bars tilt outwards providing the vent space, through which heat is emitted. The change in shape provides a clear visual indication that the heater is on. With inbuilt LEDs that focus on the wall beside it, Urban Bonfire can also function as a night-light. The orange light references flames. The geometric styling of the bars was inspired by the image of wood stacked up to make an outdoor bonfire. "

Urban Bonfire is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winning entry.

The Flip Headphones

Posted: 04 Dec 2012 09:51 AM PST

The Flip is a hybrid speakers and headphones concept, something that is getting very popular these days. With two modes to use them, the flick of a switch allows you to stream music straight into your ears or share it with friends. Both modes work with your devices using a headphone jack or USB, depending upon how you want to go about it. Awesome!

One Stealthy Little Tender

Posted: 04 Dec 2012 12:01 AM PST

The 7 meter D23 tender was designed with elegance in mind, focusing on simple lines & angular shapes that add to both its style & hydrodynamics. The D23′s standard teak deck, fender-style seats, carbon fiber details, & complete customizability are appealing, but the paramount innovation is the unique placement of the 175HP engine which provides the benefits of an outboard with the aesthetic & spatial advantages of an inboard made possible by a thoughtful combination of the boat’s volumes and proportions.

Ideal as a tender for mega-yachts or a water taxi at resorts, the D23 is designed for up to 6 people and offers adaptable seating and deck configuration possibilities depending on user’s needs. Just a few options include a bow capable of being closed with a sundeck, a protective and adjustable windshield, or even an option hard top or removable bikini that’s perfect for hot summer days.

Glowin’ Garlic

Posted: 04 Dec 2012 12:01 AM PST

The Garlic Lamp (as you might have guessed by the moniker) is a simple and literal interpretation of its namesake. The shape of the pungent bulb actually makes for a great pendant shade that produces downward directional lighting as well as an ambient glow through the translucent material. Ok, ok… so it's not for everybody, but I can totally see it in an Italian restaurant or maybe a country kitchen!
