A Silky Disposition

Posted: 25 Apr 2013 10:24 AM PDT

You have to hand it to Samsung and Apple's forward thinking design team that made it acceptable for us to have phones that are a cross between a tablet and well … a phone! While the new forms give us a gawky looking device, The Bionic Silkworm Inspired Phone takes us back to the basic shape of an ergonomic handset. Designed to make both children and the elderly comfortable with its use, the LED display and infrared sensor technology make it as tech-savvy as it gets. So which will you prefer… a phablet or a phone?

Corky Frames

Love these PVD coated, half cork fames. Designer Marc Tran has done a great job trying to marry very different elements and make them compliment each other. This new asymmetric frame combines contrasting materials and yet maintains their individual identity. Pretty cool if you ask me!

Butts Love this Chair

Posted: 25 Apr 2013 08:34 AM PDT

Designing truly comfortable seating without upholstery is more challenging than it may seem, especially without using molded wood. Designers Alessandro Torricelli & Ralph Voigt found a simple & efficient solution by dividing the Curytiba chair’s seat & backrest into two sections. Each side was carefully bowed to the center until the pressure zones of the tailbone & back were relieved. It’s rigid, yet thoughtfully formed to the human anatomy for maximum comfy-ness. Not to mention, it’s really easy on the eyes.

Literally out of this world!

Posted: 25 Apr 2013 12:01 AM PDT

A few years ago, space tourism was utterly science fiction. But with private operations already underway and queues of wealthy travelers lining up, this ultimate thrill-seeker’s adventure has become a reality. The XLDron M Gravity concept sheds light on what we might expect from our future spacecraft. The dual vehicle design consists of a shuttle and “rocket-plane” that work in tandem to carry 4 crew and 10 tourists beyond the reaches of our atmosphere before gliding home.

Take Your Work Outdoors

Posted: 25 Apr 2013 12:01 AM PDT

There is many a day I dream about taking my computer out of this stuffy office & working out in the open air! If you work a 9-5 job, then you know the feeling. Designed for public spaces like parks or campuses, the WorkaWay workstation serves as an office away from your office! Stations can be reserved with a smartphone app & feature a built-in computer or WiFi connection so you can use your own computer. Powered by solar panels on top, they’re a perfect getaway for anyone itching to get out of the office.
