| Posted: 22 Jan 2013 08:17 AM PST A look at the Kumo and you wish you could curl up like a ball and fit into that beautiful baby crib. Inspired by the different shapes of clouds, it comes as no surprise that the furniture has been given a Japanese namesake. The designers give you the option of hooking on ropes and then attach it to the ceiling, to give it the floating cloud vibe. Sweet! Designer: Sora Design - Related posts:

| Posted: 22 Jan 2013 07:40 AM PST The UrbanHello home phone is a strange looking HD voice device but once you see the demo, it totally makes sense. Although I may poo-poo and even laugh at the idea of keeping a landline, hundreds of millions of people still use one. As my mom says, “the cell phone is for personal calls, the landland represents the family.” In a nutshell, UrbanHello is a wireless, HD voice device that turns hands free just by placing it upright. The sound automatically switches to a speaker phone of sorts transmitting sound in 360º. The design is ultra minimalistic with two OLED displays and an alphanumeric keypad. Currently a Kickstarter project, the phone has already gathered multiple awards from trade shows, notably an Innovations Award from CES. Designers: UrbanHello via Kickstarter - Related posts:

| Posted: 22 Jan 2013 01:40 AM PST I love the versatility of the Different Oven; it affords you having 2 appliances packaged as one. In one mode you get to use it as a regular toaster and crisp your bread. And if you switch it to the other mode, it fans out open to do some yummy barbeques and grilling. You can even do some eggs on it for breakfast; basically use it for more than just browning your bread! How awesome! Designers: Xu Wei & Qiu Yi Wu - Related posts:

| Posted: 22 Jan 2013 12:46 AM PST The spate of natural disasters last year gave rise to many concepts and ideas that tries to make life for the survivors a tad bit easier, until they get rehabilitated and settled. One such attempt is the Rely foldout-sleeping domain. The kit includes a compact sleeping bag with components a versatile stool that turns into a place to hold your water and supplies. It even includes a basic night lamp; overall I think it's a very clever kit. Rely contains a sleeping bag and light shelter, a bottle of water, a lighting tool, a stool, tableware, and toiletries. All the components are rolled up into a hexagon-shaped cylinder that can be zipped up and carried on one's back with the help of straps. The rigid cylinder casing can be used as a sun shelter for the head when the bed is unfolded. The two ends of the cylinder store goods. On one side, a small storage compartment houses the bottle of water, tableware, and toiletries. When it is turned upside down, this 'cabinet' can be used as a stool. On the other side, a lighting tool is accommodated. It can be used as a lamp, and also as a flashlight that is charged via the kinetic energy associated with pushing a button. The lamp can be stood upright on its base. The rolled-up unit is efficient to stack and transport. Rely is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner. Designer: Chen Yu Jung - No related posts.
