| Posted: 08 Feb 2013 08:33 AM PST The K-I-T or Keep-It-Together Chair is a thoughtful DIY design that’s as comfortable as it is easy to put together. Composed primarily of MDF panels, the shell is held together by velcro strips, giving the chair some flexibility and wiggle room. Optimized for reading, the shape allows the seated person to rest their elbows on the armrests, making it possible to read comfortably for a longer period of time.

| Posted: 08 Feb 2013 02:06 AM PST The MiMix is a portable blender inspired by the bamboo form. I love it for its sleek and practical approach of portability. I mean, if you are going to go camping and then cook out there, you may as well add this pint-sized wonder to take care of blending the ingredients to make the perfect tandoori marinade. Easy to charge, just MIMIX your way to great food! Designers: Jin Won Heo & Da Som Kim - Related posts:

| Posted: 08 Feb 2013 01:59 AM PST Watering is an innovative water purifier intended for singles. It can be wall mounted and features a blue leaf that indicates the number of glasses you have consumed during the day. It is recommended that we consume at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, so with each rotation, the blue leaf keeps a track of the number glasses consumed. You can customize the temperature and other features to suit your needs. I like it more for the fact that it integrates so well as a funky wall art décor! Designer: Hyelin Lee - Related posts:

| Posted: 08 Feb 2013 01:53 AM PST Imagine using a smartphone that sports a bare minimum design and yet is functional enough to pass off as the latest high-tech device. The Sustainable Smartphone is just that; it uses fewer materials and its lifespan exceeds that of existing smart phones. It is a basic communication device and caters to the needs of those who are prone to the elements, have special needs, and impoverished people. The phone uses a rubber gasket for water resistance, low trip force buttons under the screen for user feedback, large clean text and visuals for readability, and minimal materials and processes for low cost. Specs include a stamped aluminum housing, E-ink screen, minimal PCB components, lithium polymer battery, and a standard Mini-USB charging port. Metal stamping requires minimal tooling, low energy, and produces nominal waste. Aluminum is easy to machine, rigid, and very easily recyclable. Lithium polymer batteries have a very slow degradation rate, which is not affected by inconsistent charging. E-ink screens are very durable and require sixty percent less energy than LCD screens to operate. Having minimal PCB components makes the device far less likely to overheat, which is a common reason for the failure of smart devices. This device has a standard Mini-USB charging port, but will not be sold with a charger. Since Mini-USB chargers have almost become an industry standard for cell phones and smart devices, many people already have them in their homes. There is a large amount of waste attributed to the fact that all cell phones on the market are sold with a charger. Pretty cool!

| Posted: 08 Feb 2013 12:01 AM PST This modern studio is all about openness and transparency from one section to the next- so much so that anyone with privacy issues might find themselves feeling vulnerable. Corner to corner, the viewer’s perspective shifts from light to dark, inside to out. The minimal aesthetic is contrasted by dark grey tones and raw textures of concrete, wood, marble and steel. A single colorful object, designer Igor Sirotov’s signature rubber duck, is hiding somewhere – see if you can find it. Designer: Igor Sirotov - Related posts:
